But O'Brien said they don't want their story to scare people away from the beaches. He has been going to beaches in that area his entire life and has only encountered quicksand twice.
I have never encountered quicksand in my life
- Quicksand is second most dangerous thing according to primary schoolers right behind Bermuda triangle. Don't take it lightly.
  
  There's also a Michigan Triangle lmfao pretty wild stuff
- I have a bunch of times, I lived near a beach like this. I've had to extract people pretty often.
  
  yeah thinking about my times on beaches, they tended to be areas lots of people hang out on. even when i visited the lakes, it was a spot with a bunch of homes along it.
Alternative headline: Man presented with sword by the lady of the lake, leaves the sword behind
- Bro chose love, not dictatorship.
- The real legend.
Quicksand still exists? I remember it was everywhere in the 80s
- Right up there with the ROUSs: totally made up.
This ain't even his first time in quicksand
Stay the fuck away from sand, buddy
- Idk, it sounds like he has pretty good RNG
- But that's where the rocks are, he needs the rocks
Does this work with sand at other Great Lakes? Asking for a friend
- Up in WA, I hear they they just call 'em geoducks. This guy's going a bit far, but to each their own? 🤷🏼‍♂️
Good to know my second greatest fear as a child has an upside.
Now if only something good could come out of the Bermuda Triangle.
- Step 1: go on a date with someone your mutual friend informs you both already like each other...
  Shit, now I need 2 friends. My fiancee is never going to believe I could pull this off.
Her name? Old Greg
