Surviving Quicksand: Essential Tips and Techniques.

If you find yourself stuck in quicksand, don't panic. It's impossible to drown in quicksand because humans float in it. To escape, try making small back-and-forth motions with your legs to loosen the sand around you. If you're not too deep, you can try lying on your back or leaning forward and dragging yourself free while gently kicking your legs. Another tip is to never enter quicksand territory without a stick or pole.
