Now that would be irony..... get killed in a car wreck due to
inattention caused by trying to scout landing fields so as not to kill
ones self on an off field landing lol.

Actually, its not that bad. Our field is surrounded by crops of various
types - typically maize(corn), cereals, setaside or rapeseed(canola), so
the final half mile of entrance track lets us assess crop state, and once
in the air, the green&growing/ripe/harvested field split is obvious and
setaside is generally OK since its formerly ploughed land thats been left
to grow weeds., i.e. flat surface with stalky stuff on it. Big Scotch
thistles would be a problem but they're easily seen from the air if
they're on setaside fields.
