Default Cable vs rope pulling glider from field

And if it gets to be a regular occurrence, I'll find another hobby.

A landout every now and then isn't too bad. Luckily I've never gotten
into such a muddy field that I couldn't get the glider moved out.
Benefit of flying mostly in fairly dry climates I guess. There was
one time where I avoided a very muddy mucky mess by landing on a clear
unobstructed stretch of paved county road. I've only got 30ish
landouts though and a mere 6 or 7 this season.
