Movement through swamps. Travel Tips
Как move through the swamps? A swamp is a piece of land with excessive stagnant soil moisture, overgrown with moisture-loving vegetation. For almost all people who have not been to the swamp, the mention of these places causes discomfort. It seems to everyone that swamps are deadly, or that ghosts are found on them, that the smell of rot is suffocating (probably confused with garbage), etc. Indeed, few people live in swampy areas, there are no roads, there are no shops either. But at the same time, some types of swamps are the most environmentally friendly places on Earth. You can walk through the swamp for weeks, and the shoes will remain as clean as freshly from the store. You do not need to take water with you, just press the mug into the peat and it will be filled with beautiful water. Needless to say, sphagnum moss, which mainly consists of peat deposits, is an excellent antiseptic. In addition, they can simply wash their hands, clean clothes, etc. for example, to caulk huts. To begin with, let's figure out what swamps you can meet on your way. Swamps are lowland and upland. Lowlands are found in floodplains of rivers and streams, they are also formed due to the overgrowth of reservoirs, they feed mainly on ground and surface waters. Horse (moss) feed on precipitation, are most often the result of the evolution of lowland swamps, but can also be found on watersheds. At different times of the year, the permeability of the swamps is different. Where it is impossible to pass in the summer, it is easy to pass in the winter, after the frost hits, and in spring or autumn you will get bogged down where there were no obstacles in the summer. You can check the thickness of the peat layer, its density and the hardness of the soil with a pointed metal pin. You can determine if a peat peat bed can support your weight from the following table
Of course, one thing on paper, but another in real life. Some motorists manage to sit down in the center of Moscow, but for an experienced person there are no impenetrable swamps. In Moscow, for many decades there was a geological enterprise called "Torfgeologiya". So, for its long history there has not been a single case of death of people in the swamp. At the same time, on the approaches to the swamp, cars constantly turned over and crashed, people burned in their houses, suffered in fights, etc. anything, but everyone came out of the swamps safe and sound. So, what you need to know when moving through the swamp. Lowland swamps are the most dangerous and impassable. When moving through the swamp, never rush, but you can’t stand in one place for a long time. It is safer to lay the path over bumps, near bushes and tree trunks, when walking over bumps, put your foot in the middle, smoothly step over leaning on a pole. Try to step on the roots as close to the trunk as possible. It is strictly forbidden to jump from bump to bump. Lakes overgrown with peat cover (the first stage of development of a lowland bog), under which there is water, pose a great danger. Such lakes often have deep reservoirs, covered with floating plants and grass from above, and these "windows" look almost the same. You fall into them immediately and deeply. You can feel that you have entered the rafting immediately, because. the earth around will shake (waves). The faster and stronger the waves, the thinner the raft. If water begins to collect around you when you stop, then the quagmire is thin and will soon break through. The usual advice: "Do not make sudden movements and do not stand still." If possible, probe the soil in front of you with a pole. In general, a pole is a necessary insurance when walking through the swamps, but it is too burdensome to carry it with you. Areas completely devoid of vegetation should be avoided, even if the surface of the ground appears to be dry and hard. If you failed quickly and deeply, then most likely you broke through the raft and fell into the lake. It's okay, well, you'll get wet and that's all. The water will push you out if you manage to get rid of the backpack or other load you are carrying. Raised bogs Raised bogs have the shape of a cap, the center of the bog is several meters higher. You can't see it with your eyes, but instrumental shooting always gives accurate results. For raised bogs, the edges of the bogs are always the most dangerous, because. these are the most flooded places. Those. dangerous entrance and exit to the swamp. But even in the central parts of the raised bog, hollows (windows) can be found. Holes must be avoided. People have developed a strong association that where the grass is greener it is less dangerous. On land, this is true, the conditions for life are better there. In the swamp, just the opposite, where it is greener and higher than the grass, there is more water, and therefore more dangerous. The surface of the swamps is generally very deceptive. Often a thin surface layer is shallow and rests on hard ground and, conversely, a seemingly solid surface may not offer any visible resistance to the feet. When moving through the swamp, stay close to the trees. If possible, swampy areas are best avoided. If they are so “drilled” that it is equally bad from all sides, cut branches and thin trees, throw them at each other crosswise. So, very slowly, but guaranteed, you can go through any swamp. If you have to walk in such a place repeatedly, you can pave a path. To do this, cut trees across the road at a distance of half a meter from each other. You can knit mats from reeds, grass, straw, but they are less durable Walking through the swamps in winter In the northern hemisphere of the Earth, swamps freeze through in winter. If the ice holds, then it's easy to go. Early snowfall delays freezing and only masks dangerous places. A thin ice crust easily breaks through and the permeability deteriorates sharply. But that's what skis are for, to ride them in winter. Any swamp is passable on skis in winter, but in summer too. Only I did not meet such eccentrics in the summer. But the use of swamp shoes can only be welcomed. Grass swamps are the first to freeze, solid solid ice. Moss and hummocks freeze slowly and unevenly. Swamps covered with bushes are the last to freeze. If you still failed, you need to, without delay, lie on your back, take a horizontal position, then free yourself from the load and start to get out They can make you happy. It is impossible to drown quickly in a swamp and you will have “time to eat toffee”, remember what you have read here, and mentally say goodbye to your relatives. The main thing is not to panic, do not make sudden movements. After you get rid of the backpack, start slowly, I emphasize slowly, or even drown the backpack, crawl out, leaning on a backpack or a pole. Try to reach bushes or trees. If they are uprooted, still drag them under you. Most often, getting bogged down in a swamp, you take more care of your boots, thereby losing time, and in the end, boots. Therefore, it is better to “jump out” of the boots as soon as possible, protect yourself, and then calmly get them out of the swamp. To overcome vast swampy spaces, bogshoes and other devices can be made from improvised means. In conclusion, a few features that characterize swamp passability. Passable swamp:
