boy if landing out is such a crime i should be on death row.

Only if you were doing in a LAK 12, because you'd be farther away and
much harder to remove from the field. In fact, you'd probably still be
sitting in field #7, waiting for the retrieve crew that will never come...

I notice some pilots use "landout" to mean "landing somewhere besides my
home airfield", even if they land at a large, paved, airport. I call
that "landing away" when I land on an airport/airstrip; a "landout" is
landing something else, like a farmer's field or a road.
