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?
