Solo Overnight In A Foxhole – Camping Underground using the Individual Protection Kit for an improvised shelter.

“We have a video at the end of the article.”

I could see this being useful in snowy, high wind environments, especially where you can merely dig into the snow and set up the exact same type of shelter, or barren terrain like badlands, drylands, even some desert terrain where being hidden is key. Though, I’d not enjoy digging into hard, dry packed earth like that. Definitely a useful addition to the repertoire.

Soldiers were trained to prepare these in the event of nuclear fallout, as they would protect from the majority of falling particles. Or, at least, give the soldiers hope and drive for as long as possible. They’d dig a half-pipe shape into the ground big enough to sit up in and then place a roof over it using branches or whatever they can find, and then cover it with tarp, soil, whatever’s handy.

5 years from now someone will see that trench that has settled and say, “Yep, some body definitely buried there!”😜
