  • Jamie Acord was with her husband, walking along the beach in Maine, when she suddenly got stuck in quicksand. Acord says the quicksand was up to her waist and her arms were on top of the sand. Thankfully, Acord's husband was able to pull her out. Survival expert Shane Hobel showed Inside Edition's Alison Hall how to get out of sinking sand. Hobel says to not wiggle and that the best way to get out is by using a stick.

      This did actually happen to me once, on a backpacking trip in New Zealand for which I was ill-prepared, and at risk of missing my scheduled shuttle back to the hostel. I had gotten trench foot from poorly fitting and waterlogged boots, so I could barely walk, and had sbout 4 miles left and 2 hours to get there. I did not have trekking poles. I said a prayer, asking God to help me out, because as a woman I was not about to hitchhike in the middle of nowhere after 39 miles hiked with trench foot! I stood up, looked down, and lo and behold was a walking stick of perfect size and composition in a place with no trees where it could have originated from. I gleefully swung myself with the stick, running down the rest of that trail praising the Lord, took a war cry selfie as I ran across the exit bridge, and launched myself and my pack into the shuttle van which had pulled up and rolled open the door as I was crossing the bridge. When life gets hard, I often remind myself of that story to remember that God provides,😅😂🎉 Ironically, on another backpacking trip in New Zealand, I did actually step into quicksand…that time I did have trekking poles, which saved me from it, so this feels rather full-circle. Moral of the story: always hike with trekking poles!

      I went to the beach 2 weeks ago , before I left I rinsed out my water shoes thoroughly, when I got home I hosed them down again. I was going to get in the pool today and I literally was still shaking sand put of those shoes haha. I hate it especially when it gets in your mouth somehow. Nothing like eating only to bite down on a gritty piece of sand. I honestly wonder how much sand coast people ingest in a years time.

    • @fandomtrash7505
      @fandomtrash7505 Před 6 dny +8

      wiggling without an anchor is the problem. If you wiggle without something like a stick to put your body weight on you will be at risk of sinking more as your weight is just going down. Having a stick on more solid ground transfers that weight, which allows to to wiggle yourself out.

      It mostly is. It's just sand so saturated with water that you sink in it, like water. It shouldn't pull you under like in the movies, but you can get well and truly stuck. You can crawl out, if you're not in too deep, the trick is don't panic.

    What to do if you dont have a stick:

    The objective is to make little bits of room to pull your legs up as much as can. If you can pull yourself up even just a little bit, try your best to crawl out.

    Another thing you can do is add water. Quicksand is a non-newtonian fluid similar to cornstarch and water, meaning it has to strike a certain balance in order to maintain the consistency that defines it. Adding water loosens it and makes it possible to get free.

    During a beach backpacking trek in New Zealand, I crossed over a section of shallow water that looked to be a stream where rainfall was running off toward the ocean, about a foot deep. I placed my foot, and as I was sinking, quickly realized it was quicksand . On instinct, I just as quickly swung out my trekking pole into another section and launched myself out of it. I was very thankful for the trekking pole, which I had found under the stairs in the student flat where i was living, since i hsd been too cheap/poor to purchase one.
