how much time you can survive inside quicksand?


quicksand; loose wet sand that yields easily to pressure and sucks in anything resting on or falling into it.

imagine that you're in a trip or traveling to a desert to spend some yourself-time and by accident, you find out that your legs are halfway to the bottom of a quicksand hole, what should you do and what is going to happen to your body?

- don't even think to start freaking out and moving hard and fast to get yourself out the only way you will reach is the bottom and seriously you don't want that at all.

-first of all start losing anything heavy like your traveling equipment, your backpack...



-try to lay on your back and try to swim slowly and in a smooth way to a safe place, a solid one, if there are some trees try to grab them and drag yourself out.


-don't be afraid of quicksand it's rarely deeper than half a meter, but if you stuck you can be threatened by predators, the tide of the sea or river, the dehydration.



-if you die over there your body will be preserved for centuries.
