A good point and (I think) a good distinction. Maybe for clarity
I should use different terms. An airport is a public use
airport, an airfield or airstrip is not public use but
is intended for aircraft, and an "outlanding" is anything
that isn't an airport or airstrip.

In that sense I've never had an "outlanding" and I'm really looking
forward to continuing that trend. But I can certainly
see how that would be different in other places, where
airstrips are very uncommon but flat, landable pastures are
frequent.

I should also add that personally I flew maybe half-dozen X-Cs
and landed out three times (at planned and scouted airports)
before I flew 5 hours.
