>>1961285Glad you bring this up.
I am waiting for the M49 Hungarian pancho/tent half (2) from sevelkata surplus.
One on the traditional ways of set up is digging a box trench to lower the floor of tent.
I'm sure it also would have lowered the chance of gunfire or surface explosions hitting you as you sleep or rest on level ground surface.
A trench is always good depending on how much time you have to improve your camp site.
Of course let nature do some of the work for you. A natural dip or seasonal water cut( learn how to read the ground and you will see how high rainstorm will flood. Here in az monsoons will send tons of water from nowhere, usually kills a few people a year on foot or in vehicles) will work will some minor improvements, so will old animal dens or a fallen tree root hole.
Trenches are our friends
