Has anyone ever had an experience with deep mud or quicksand while they
were hiking. From what I understand it does exist and some people have
had problems because of it. Let me know if you have ever been in it,
Thanks,
Andy

Not while I was hiking, but I was on a casual morning jog when I slipped and fell into a large mud pit when I was 12.
The ground was wet and slippery so I ended up sliding down a short 2-3 meter dirt cliff into a big pit of mud, straight up to my thighs. I was scared and confused so the first thing I did was panic. I tried a lot of things to get out, but my struggling
I was up to my neck in the mud when 3 older teenagers found me and agreed to rescue me, as I continued to slowly descend into the muck. I was terrified and I was sure I would drown! Eventually, I sank deep enough for the mud to engulf my whole face too.But luckily the guys managed to rescue me before I drowning :)
Damage was still done though - I had multiple X-ray scans and doctors appointments because I tore a couple of neck muscles and my lungs had some mud inside them. A few tetnas shots and some less intensive excersice later and I was back to normal :D
