[0:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/kOZQc5nyhOf4/en/how-to-escape-sinking-mud-without-sinking-deeper) Keep moving, unfortunately, I can keep sinking.

[0:02](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/kOZQc5nyhOf4/en/how-to-escape-sinking-mud-without-sinking-deeper?t=2) I'm going to stop here. What do you do at this point?

[0:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/kOZQc5nyhOf4/en/how-to-escape-sinking-mud-without-sinking-deeper?t=5) Either you lie down, bend over, cross your arms, put your head on them, lay everything flat, breathe out, and above all, don't move.

[0:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/kOZQc5nyhOf4/en/how-to-escape-sinking-mud-without-sinking-deeper?t=14) Simply freeze the mud when you're horizontal, with enough submerged, hips to head, arms crossed.

[0:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/kOZQc5nyhOf4/en/how-to-escape-sinking-mud-without-sinking-deeper?t=21) Don't move your upper body. And with your feet…

[0:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/kOZQc5nyhOf4/en/how-to-escape-sinking-mud-without-sinking-deeper?t=25) Just move your feet. Stirring the clay will release its water, and your legs will be pushed up by the rising water, in line with your body.

[0:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/kOZQc5nyhOf4/en/how-to-escape-sinking-mud-without-sinking-deeper?t=32) You get out filthy. You're alive. Yeah, you get out.

[0:37](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/kOZQc5nyhOf4/en/how-to-escape-sinking-mud-without-sinking-deeper?t=37) Now, it's going to get less fun. So, I'll hurry up.

[0:39](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/kOZQc5nyhOf4/en/how-to-escape-sinking-mud-without-sinking-deeper?t=39) We'll do what we said earlier. We lean very, very far.

[0:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/kOZQc5nyhOf4/en/how-to-escape-sinking-mud-without-sinking-deeper?t=42) We find a specific spot here, there. And with the other leg, keeping this still, since the mud is hard, you move with this one, this very slight vibration.

[0:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/kOZQc5nyhOf4/en/how-to-escape-sinking-mud-without-sinking-deeper?t=51) You understand, I’m not moving my pelvis.

[0:56](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/kOZQc5nyhOf4/en/how-to-escape-sinking-mud-without-sinking-deeper?t=56) It’ll go smoothly.

[1:02](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/kOZQc5nyhOf4/en/how-to-escape-sinking-mud-without-sinking-deeper?t=62) There, if you stayed, you didn’t sink, that's good.

[1:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/kOZQc5nyhOf4/en/how-to-escape-sinking-mud-without-sinking-deeper?t=65) You try, it fails, we said earlier. It cracks.

[1:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/kOZQc5nyhOf4/en/how-to-escape-sinking-mud-without-sinking-deeper?t=71) We bend, agreed? And we open the angle, and we don’t go onto the other foot.

[1:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/kOZQc5nyhOf4/en/how-to-escape-sinking-mud-without-sinking-deeper?t=77) If you do that… Oh, that doesn’t work. The hands don’t work either.

[1:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/kOZQc5nyhOf4/en/how-to-escape-sinking-mud-without-sinking-deeper?t=82) I can’t go on now. And now take your time very slowly with your ankle.

[1:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/kOZQc5nyhOf4/en/how-to-escape-sinking-mud-without-sinking-deeper?t=88) And the water is released from the clay.
