Off Airport Landings

Once again, I have more than 13,000 hours in the lowest reaches of the
airspace system in crop dusting, aka Ag Flying, and have made many off
airport landings.

Any tips for us, since you have the experience?

What are some of the things to consider if you are faced with the
heartpounding reality of an engine failure and an off airport
unscheduled landing?

Rarely heard tips:

Take off your headphones. If the plane stops quickly, they'll fly
forward off your head, ripping up your ears. Also, this prevents
strangulation from the cord.

Without losing control, move front seats back as far as safely
possible. People have been killed from a yoke in their chest, while
the other person (with seat further back) has survived.

Now I have a question: if you're over a forest, is it still considered
better to mush into the tree tops? Or dive into the thick of it as
best you can?
