What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Pilot stated " I had taken off from an ag strip about 8 miles south of Porthill, and as I ran my departure flow and brought the gear up, I realized that I should have just left it down. Had I briefed the departure better, I would have not brought the gear up. As I leveled off at 1000 feet AGL, I was distracted by the difficulty of seeing the airport that I was looking for, since it is a grass strip in the middle of a bunch of fields. When I spotted the runway, the first thing I noticed was a power line and some trees at the departure end of 33 that I would have to think about if I needed to do a go-around. I realized I was going to be high if I didn't get the flaps in, so I deployed the flaps and retarded the throttle to near idle. I did not hear a gear warning horn. I left the throttle in this position for the rest of the approach and landing. As I approached the runway, all my focus was on maintaining centerline and executing a soft field landing. As I was increasing back pressure to hold the airplane off the runway, I heard what I assumed was the stall warning horn, followed immediately by the tail touching down and a greater drop than I was expecting. The airplane slid on it's belly for about 230 feet and came to a stop on the centerline."
As the FAA filed it
PILOT STATED " I HAD TAKEN OFF FROM AN AG STRIP ABOUT 8 MILES SOUTH OF PORTHILL, AND AS I RAN MY DEPARTURE FLOW AND BROUGHT THE GEAR UP, I REALIZED THAT I SHOULD HAVE JUST LEFT IT DOWN. HAD I BRIEFED THE DEPARTURE BETTER, I WOULD HAVE NOT BROUGHT THE GEAR UP. AS I LEVELED OFF AT 1000 FEET AGL, I WAS DISTRACTED BY THE DIFFICULTY OF SEEING THE AIRPORT THAT I WAS LOOKING FOR, SINCE IT IS A GRASS STRIP IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUNCH OF FIELDS. WHEN I SPOTTED THE RUNWAY, THE FIRST THING I NOTICED WAS A POWER LINE AND SOME TREES AT THE DEPARTURE END OF 33 THAT I WOULD HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IF I NEEDED TO DO A GO-AROUND. I REALIZED I WAS GOING TO BE HIGH IF I DIDN'T GET THE FLAPS IN, SO I DEPLOYED THE FLAPS AND RETARDED THE THROTTLE TO NEAR IDLE. I DID NOT HEAR A GEAR WARNING HORN. I LEFT THE THROTTLE IN THIS POSITION FOR THE REST OF THE APPROACH AND LANDING. AS I APPROACHED THE RUNWAY, ALL MY FOCUS WAS ON MAINTAINING CENTERLINE AND EXECUTING A SOFT FIELD LANDING. AS I WAS INCREASING BACK PRESSURE TO HOLD THE AIRPLANE OFF THE RUNWAY, I HEARD WHAT I ASSUMED WAS THE STALL WARNING HORN, FOLLOWED IMMEDIATELY BY THE TAIL TOUCHING DOWN AND A GREATER DROP THAN I WAS EXPECTING. THE AIRPLANE SLID ON IT'S BELLY FOR ABOUT 230 FEET AND CAME TO A STOP ON THE CENTERLINE."
