I can't sleep across a hill like that. I'd be rolling thru the tent side...
Put tent up an down hill not across. No rolling and your head is elevated. And if it rains, youre going to get wet with no trench dug.... my Army days have scarred me.... lol

Problem was tying the tent to the T. Above him, it would roll over the tent - below, pull the tent over.
Chance of enough rain to need a trench - 0% on that cinder field.
