If cross country flight is a part of your plans I don't understand why landing off field would not be a large part of the flaps/no flaps decision?

Using flaps can get you into a field safely vs overshooting. I can touchdown and stop without brakes on a grass strip (tail skid ) in 450' with an ASW 20a max positive flap setting . The stall speed is down to 36kts so even if I hit something it will be a considerably slower speed .
