Thread 2840291

how do i traverse this? im going innawoods in northern ontario next weekend and going off-road but it seems like muskeg is absolutely fucking everywhere and i'm scared to walk on or go across it because i heard shit like caribou can just sink inside it with no warning and are unable to get back up, plus its all wet as fuck and its insect heaven and its like walking through really thick mud

is muskeg just untraversable? is this why nobody lives or goes off road anywhere in northern ontario? just because of this swamp-like abomination?

I wouldn't worry about it. Are you a caribou?

A flight to Kansas should do it.

They has this shit all over norway and scotland and it's a bitch to walk through, my dog kept sinking through it LOL. The best method is to aim for the tall bunched up grass because all the roots seem to be structurally strong enough to hold you for a few seconds. I guess you could do the same with the saplings

Same way as the animals living there
>low surface pressure, snowshoes
>long legs that usually touch the bottom, stilts
>buoyancy, a life jacket
>flight, complex machines
In general these places just suck to traverse and are avoided if at all possible.

just wear your trail runners. you'll be fine.

Even moose get stuck in muskeg sometimes, it's hellish terrain.
