Yes, they are.
I've done it.
Do tell. It'd have to be a pretty hard packed grass strip I'd have

Yeah, it was. The airplane had low floatation tires, a gravel shield around
the nosewheel and vortex killers under the engines. It was a -15 powered
200.
I won't say where, but there is a lot of oil there...
