That's happened to me. Not having my trousers devoured but sinking into a bog.

A few years back I was doing some conservation work on some local marshland. It involved coppicing the alders. The others in the group went off for a break and I carried on for a bit. The dykes there have grass right up to them but unknown to me it often covers fairly liquid mud. I stepped on it and went up to mid thigh straight away. I flung myself on to my back and spent a few moments pulling one leg out carefully together with my boot and then the other while trying to remember the climax to The Hound of the Baskervilles.
(Off topic: The Hound of the Baskervilles was based upon our local legend of a demon dog that stalks the marshes in the mist and appears before those who are about to die. It is coal black with burning red eyes.)
When I got back to the group sitting around having hot soup they summed up my mud caked appearance and warned me rather belatedly of the problem.

Yowza.

Well, I have little sympathy for people who do stupid crap like that. Bloody ATVs, they're everywhere, noisy and nasty. Still, I'm glad they rescued her.

Hooray! That's exactly what one is supposed to do in quicksand. :) Or quick mud...

My grandparents have a dairy farm, and my sister and I used to love to play there. We especially liked that people would drop off unwanted cats there, so we usually spent our time looking for cats or kittens to play with. On one of these visits, we asked our uncle who worked there if he knew where the newest family of kittens was currently hiding. After hearing they were somewhere behind one of the barns, we wandered off in search of adorable cuteness. But, there was a lot of manure to contend with. My sister was less squeamish than myself, so she crossed the manure lake while I opted to stay behind. She got about 4 steps before she began sinking.

I doubt I helped much, probably laughed at her predicament more than anything. But she managed to free herself and my mom hosed her off. When we told my uncle about it, he admitted that the manure is pretty deep over there, about up to his knees. And, he's a pretty big guy. My sister and I were about 10 years old. :blackeye: :P
