i've also succesfully landed in fields several times even when my engine was shot to hell, no fuel etc. so also without throttle. It's really not that difficult. Also i've often found it useful too land on the slope of a field (how do you say that in correct english).
And i believe there are different kinds of terrain ruggedness(weird english yet again) some terrains are more rough then others i believe. Lastly it also has to do with the aircrafts weight, i think. Having more weight means more stable on the ground.
Although the Storch, is off course an exception...
