Default Fields to fly in

For anybody at flies in tree surrounded fields, what is that like?

Most of the places that I would be flying in would be under this constraint. I tried out the Pre-Flight simulator with a sailplane and often I would run out of altitude far from “where I was standing”. I could land the plane but if this were for real it would be stuck in a tree somewhere in the woods at the edge of a field. Realistically how much of a problem is this? Does this mean you are confined to flying the thermals within the boundary of the field?


Thanks,
Kevin
