I just wanted to share this solo hiker quicksand Survival Story with our community, in addition to the article in the New York Times about it ...

... the reader comments are also interesting. NOTE -- for anone who does not have a subscription -- I think they let people read up to three articles for free.

... the hiker also posted his own account on Reddit ...

I hope this posting helps to re-awaken this community as it feels like there hasn't been much activity here lately.
