    The trick to digging a trench system is digging various foxholes, and then essentially connecting the dots.

    Nobody ever talks about the actual act of digging the trenches in WWI. They only talk about what it was like being inside them. I have been searching for info about the actual act of digging them. This is the first video I have found about digging trenches; thank you for making it.

    Make sure you have a draining system incase of flooding. I learned the hard way.

    Where I'm digging my trench there is A LOT of red clay so it's real hard to drain and dig the trench so I have to use a bucket to drain it because of the clay do any of you have digging or draining tips
