If you are only packing in 1-3 miles, use it. If you are on a remote backpack hunt, leave it alone. Use a rock or a stick or your boots to help level the area. I have been on a bunch of fly in and backpack hunts and I either toughed it out or used alternative options. You can usually find a level-ish type spot within a mile of where you want to be.
