  How to escape from quicksand
1. When walking in a quicksand country, carry a stout pole-it will help you get out if you need to.

2. As soon as you start to sink, lay the pole on the surface of th quick sand.

3. Flop onto your back on top of the pole. After a minute or two, equilibrium in the quicksand will be achieved, and you will no longer sink.

4. Work the pole to a new position: under your hips and at a right angles to your spine.

5. Take the shortest route to firmer ground, moving slowly.
