Thanks, y'all One will try to avoid big rocks...and I'll not worry overmuch about tearing off the nosewheel. Most of where I fly there isn't really deep grass...and obviously I'll avoid (for this elective off-field landing) corn fields and such. I suspect I would piss off someone if I damage someone's crops. Mostly what I have seen as possibles are cleared hayfields (without big bales) and just plain fallow fields. Oh, and out west...pretty much everywhere.

I have landed out in my glider in the past (hell, the inaugural landing on my field here in NM was by a glider...landing out. But it seemed like a different set of logic. But not really, ya reckon?

I like that: "Officer, the oil was overheating...just making sure everything was ok..."

In the boonies. 800' of gravel road with no power lines. I've done it about a thousand times in the J-3. It's a cub thing.

I wouldnt mount a relief tube in a Cub? Get a big laundry soap bottle.

Ive landed in a lot of farmers field, they are ok with it as long as you dont damage the crops.
My first long cross country in a Champ many years ago with no radios or lights, I couldnt find the airport and it was getting dark, landed in a farmers field and taxied behind the barn, got a cab in town to spend the night with my new bride.

Unless they start shooting at you then you know your not welcome.

Whilst we are getting too close to TMI, but I've been trying the pee in a bottle routine in the cub. Works, but has high mess potential. The airplane pretty much stays where I put it, but with no autopilot (as if I'd have one in a cub! ) it does kind of wander off...

Gravel road with no wires, nice big fields...here I come.

Beach landings just outside of JFK are not recommended!

Not in a Baron Paul, just the J-3. Hope to see you soon.

Isolated two-track without fencing, wires or large ruts is your friend.

Fair winds,
