Quicksand was never a problem for me, but growing up on a farm, soft mud was a common occurrence. Good news is you can pretty immediately tell when you're walking through the stuff and can just...turn around. Worst that happens is you lose a boot, and that genuinely sucks.

But it's not the kind of thing you step into and you're up to your knee in 2 seconds.
