RE: Digging a pit...
I would only poor concrete if you are going to make it like a "basement" We hunt in a lot of pits back in Idaho and the all have gravel floors for draining purposes. Then we line the "walls" with 1/4" plywood and tightly frame in some 2x4's. Then you can attach shelves or whatever. We generally get 4 years out of the plywood. works good and is easy. good luck
