| In my VERY limited field experience, we dont use tents at all. Instead, I rig up my poncho to a) provide concealment b)provide rain cover and c)(if possible) block the wind. I usually arrange my ruck underneath the poncho to block the wind near my head, since that is the opening in the sleeping bag which has a waterproof cover.
As far as sleeping arrangments, my boots are next to me, my uniform is on me and my weapon is strapped to me. I wear my mitch as it makes an excellent pillow when propped up by an iba. Oh, I also strap stuff together to make it impossible to steal it. People enjoy stealing unsecured equipment.
Granted those are again LIMITED experiences under relatively temperate conditions in a benign environment(20-60 Degrees, limited rains).
