How To Maybe Get Out of Quicksand

A little tidbit
Before you arrive in the rainforest
if you get lost
and fall into quicksand
do not panic

calmly lean back into a back float position
slowly move your feet circularly
without panic!
you might be able to free yourself
if you stay calm

if not,
you might slide under the quicksand
as if you are the inside of a taco
luckily you will be too quickly snapped up
to panic now
