    Quicksand is hella rare everywhere. As a kid i feared it hard and knowing how to escape it was absolutely survival-critical knowledge.

    I have never once been anywhere even near it.

      You can make your own, it’s fun! Dig a big hole on the beach, fill it with water, then put the sand back in. It makes kind of a trap, you can’t necessarily tell there’s a hole there but if you step on it, you’ll sink right in. Don’t worry, you can get out just fine.
