      I think instead of shear sheer strength, you mean friction coefficient.
      Shear is the force perpendiculair to a plane
      But how easily things slide past each other is the field of Tribology.
      Shear strengt is a material property, that yes could be regarded as the viscosity of a solid, but it's within the object. 2 objects rubbing together experience friction, which is dictates by hardness, surface roughness, lubrication, normal force etc.
      Not the shear strenght of the material.

      @@EddVCR To be fair, a meteor only plays a role in your life for the amount of seconds it takes for the shockwave to hit after the light has. depending on how far away it is you could have a couple minutes before you're fucked. The tunguska Meteor blew up over siberia in 1908 and people said in London that they could read a paper at midnight with how bright it got for a little while. Anyway when it blew up the shockwave was so powerful it leveled every tree in about a 750 km area all facing outward from the center. There were just a small number of the trees that were left standing up still... but they were missing every single needle and branch on the tree so it was literally just the trunk pointing upward(they were pine trees so just the 1 main trunk). It exploded overhead like the one in Russia in 2015. The shockwave was so powerful that it literally ripped off every branch and needle while leaving the tree still standing directly under it since the shockwave was coming straight down. It also cause the ground to look "Like a rug that has been bunched up". The force was so strong form the explosion that it caused the ground to ripple like water. Anyway, off to learn more terrifying info that can't be used to save myself...

    I recall on a long walk with my ex, being against a river bank and seeing the rays of the setting sun casting a shimmering path across the sands that led to a tree studded rocky outcropping that demanded our presence.
    We soon realized our mistake as each step produced an increasingly vigorous suction at our feet. Unlike the woman here, we had no training, but a rapid ligjtfooted skipping motion got us out alive. Completely ruined my fancy new Japanese sneakers tho. There was mud up to our ankles.

    Best quicksand advice is situational awareness and frequent discussion of procedure and protocol if you are planning on being around quicksand or quickmud.
    First off, if you are gonna be around that, a good walking stick is a must. This will if used properly allow you do identify it before you get it in. It should be a tapering stick to a not sharp but fairly narrow point. You can have a broader point on the other end or have a broader ferrule for the narrow end if you are traveling over varried terrain that needs a broader end.
    Using the stick more like a sight impaired person than a walking support and testing the ground in front of you, you can give yourself early warning to dangerous ground and avoid getting sucked in. The stick can also help you get your self out by disturbing the compacted sand around a limb allowing you to ease it out.
    Procedurally, keep fresh in your mind that as soon as you think you are in a quicksand situation, stop, then immediately, sit down and lay back as flat as possible.
    This will change your center of balance and gravity and get it out from directly above your feet, and it will increase the surface area with which your mass is applying force on the sand. It will immediately slow the rate of and the depth to which you sink into the sand, and by falling back, you likely ensure that most or a significant fraction of your body is supported by solid ground since you walked into the quicksand FROM solid ground so that is likely what your trailing foot is still on. This greatly reduces the difficulty in getting the trapped leg free. Remember that as stated its nearly impossible to sink terminally into quicksand and that struggling vigorously and pulling hard only makes the situation worse. Nothing good happens fast. You got here by walking quickly and confidently into a bad patch of ground. Trying to get out of it quickly is going to be as bad or worse. Slow and steady wins the race.
    The stick can be also used to push against a hard surface if possible to help you push out once you have created some cavity in which your trapped limb or limbs can move in.
    As to creating that cavity the most important part is to remember how and when to use hard strong force. Rarely. But its very important to remeber that the cavity will collapse if you remove pressure from the "wall" quickly much faster and it will compact much harder when it does. You want to push with gentle firm and gradual consistent pressure and once you have a cavity thats larger than the limb so that you have some wiggle room, be very gentle when you move back to the starting point think about how kinetic sand works but its more fluid so if you compact it in one direction you want to remove the pressure very slowly so that it has time to settle to a point that its momentum doesnt exceed its shear point and it will hold its shape. This will also allow water to diffuse out of it into the cavity, which will help the wall to be stronger and it will soften up the sand still around the limb allowing it to be easier to pull out of. Its all about being calm and methodical, not panicking.
    If you are backpacking having something like a closed cell foam sleeping pad would be great because if you can unroll that it will act like a flotation device if you have to lean forward for some reason you can lay that in front of you to increase even more your surface area and bouyancy. The absolute most important thing it to remember do not panic, struggle vigorously or allow your arms to become trapped.
    Stop, sit lay and move slowly gently and with a plan and intent. Know your plan, be aware, avoid when possible, remember to not panic, and work your plan.

    There is an error in your analysis. Just as there are different kinds of sand, there are different kinds of quicksand that vary in their density. There is quicksand that will swallow people because it has pockets of air in it caused primarily by methane from decaying plant matter beneath it. These bubbles reduce the density well below that of the human body, and yes people do sink in it. That is why quicksand in jungles and other places with a lot of decaying foliage are so dangerous compared to coastal sand only quicksand. Perhaps a little more thorough research about the topic is needed.

The bogs is a morrass of rotted slimy vegetation from moss and it can float over a deep body of water If you step through the crust of it, you will go under. But nothing is ever mentioned.

    90 mile Beach in new Zealand, has pockets of quicksand along it. Mum used to live there as a kid & saw several cars get lifelong free parking. While about a dozen people run around the partially devoured car, to try & stop it sinking further , while help ran to the nearest farm.
    Never heard if the cars got towed out, so after this, will presume the owners chose the lifetime free parking offer - oh, if you drive the beach north to the exit/entry point, any insurance you hold, becomes nul & void, due to QUICKSAND, + it's Not, a Road - it's a beach, used as a road, which has nearly wiped out one species of shellfish found nowhere else on earth.

    my time at the beach has taught me a lot about this subject. for fun i would go into the soaked sand, stand still and then sort of jiggle my feet and legs thereby causing the sand to become viscous and allow me to sink into it. I learned that i could get quite deep doing this and i also learned that the sheer suction made it nearly impossible to straight up pull my legs out. I came to the natural assumption that because my jiggling would allow me to sing because it made the sand viscous that if i jiggled more i could pull one leg out at a time. Stillness = hard and motion = soft. the sand needs to be soft in order for you to escape.

    I've been stuck in quicksand, only calf deep. I did it on purpose as an experiment! [duh!] Once the water from between the sand grains had been forced to the surface by me jumping up and down, the sand set like concrete. I had to spend many minutes digging the hard sand out from behind my feet manually. By this time the tide had come in and filled a channel between me and safety. I had to swim thirty yards to shore. There was no danger of sinking in the sand, but there was a distinct danger of being drowned while anchored by my feet.

It was shallow, and there was a group hiking, so we were good to play in it and experiment. I could definitely tell that the sand put actual pressure on the submerged body parts, more than just sand packed around it. And 6 feet of the stuff would be quite deadly.

    I've been stuck in quicksand before. It was frightening. This was in Virginia Beach at Sandbridge, summer 1999. Sandbridge, like it's southern neighbor, the Outter Banks, is really a gigantic sand bar, with an ocean on one side and a bay or sound on the other. It's scary to think that just three feet below those parking lots, those houses, those playgrounds, is quicksand. I know because we were building the big picnic shelters that you can use today. Each leg had to rest in an empty oil drum whose bottom is 4 or 5 feet below the surface. When they were all about level, concrete would be poured in to anchor them. We had one of the holes dug about 3 feet deep, and I was standing nearby with a grade rod. You can't get right at the edge of the hole, because the more you dig, the more surrounding sand falls in, making the top of the hole wider and wider. I was asked to check grade, and when I reached the stick into the hole, some asshole pushed me. Had I went in head first, I would have died a terror and panic filled death with no one being able to save me in tyme. But at the last split second as I was tipping, I jumped in order to right myself. I was immediately up to my knees with nothing to reach for. Not even sand, as the hole was shaped like a crater. I've had a strong fear of quicksand since childhood, and as I was slowly sinking, I asked the others that were standing around, "Are any of you going to do anything, or is this the way I'm going to die?" (I was already almost eye level with the surface sand, and their feet.) The foreman on the backhoe positioned the boom over top of me, curled the bucket, and lowered it down. I reached up and got a firm two hand grip on the bucket edges, and without warning, he just began to raise the boom. If I hadn't immediately let go, my legs would have instantly begun to rip apart at the knees. Partially out of pain and anger, I hollered at my boss like he was an idiot. He lowered the boom again, and I told him to remove his hands from the controls. This took all of the full body strength I had, now with agonising knees and ankles, to hold fast and slowly work my legs and feet back up mere centimeters at a tyme. When both feet were finally free, my arms utterly exhausted, my legs extra heavy from being caked with wet sand, he raised me up and over to the dry surface. When I landed, I limped over to the nearest park bench and told them to leave me alone for the rest of the day.
    Think about that the next tyme you're at the beach. Especially those that are based on huge sand bars. Just three feet below you.

      It's not THAT hard to come across it. What's hard is finding one deep enough to be a life threat.
      Sandy beaches usually have a layer of typically ankle-deep quicksand near the waterline. And if you live away from permanent water, mud and bogs after lots of rain are pretty much he same principle as quicksand and can get pretty deep.

    Back in 1977, I got a job on a surveyor crew. We were surveying next to the Red River in Louisiana, and I had walked ahead and out of sight of the rest of the crew. I walked out on a sandy flat that looked dry, but unbeknownst to me, it was actually a dry crust over quicksand. Suddenly I broke through the crust and immediately sank up to my knees. After a few seconds of panic, I realized I could lean back and rest my back on the crust. I was then able to slowly work my legs out of the quicksand. I then spread my body out as much as possible, and crawled back to solid ground.

    There was a clay quarry that me and my friends used to hang out at when we were young, some spots that looked solid would immediately start sinking when you stepped in it, normally it wasn't bad and we got out quick enough, but once my friend got sucked up to his waist and just kept sinking so I pushed a bunch of dry dirt and sand on to the area around him and me just going off the hope that it might give a solid spot to push against, and it actually worked. We never walked through that specific spot again.

    Working pipeline maintenance you run into ditches that go down to the water table often and when it's in a river basin you run into quick sand all the time. If you happen to miss the pallets we toss in to stand on and sink up above your muck boots there is one trick that works everytime. If you're worried about running into it while adventuring take a hollow walking stick, tubing of some sort, and if you get stuck just slip it down to the bottom of your feet before trying to pull it out. The suction from pulling does the work for you by pulling the air down your makeshift straw and breaks all the suction pressure and you can come right on out. It works if someone is trying to pull you or an object out as well, I've always wanted muck boots with this concept incorporated into it by having a flexible vent straw that runs externally from the top of the boot to the bottom of the sole. Would have saved me a lot of hip and knee pains walking in muddy conditions
