12 Hours Trapped In Quicksand
Ryan Osmun’s Valentine’s Day hike was supposed to be picturesque and romantic. Instead, it turned out to be terrifying and unimaginable. Ryan never dreamed of being in a river, thigh deep in quicksand, sinking further in and unable to get out, with snow falling around him.

Show Notes
It wasn’t the first time that Ryan Osmun had been hiking in a National Park, nor was it the first time he had hiked in the winter. Ryan knew what equipment to take and packed accordingly. As a photographer he enjoys hiking trails when they’re less populated. But he never expected to find himself or his girlfriend stuck on the trail, literally. A desperate phone call for help brought lifesaving assistance.
We also speak to Faris ‘Faz’ Ali, Deputy Station Officer of Bay Search & Rescue about how to look for signs of quicksand and what to do if you find yourself sinking on a beach or riverbed. As well as what to do if you get your vehicle or ATV stuck.
