Secure Base to the Ground

[Scarecrow71]

I have a base on Minmus that is nothing more than a viewing cupola atop a hitchhiker container, with some antenna and solar panels attached.  Nothing major, and it was created and put there to satisfy a contract.

Anyhow, I am curious how to keep this thing from moving around.  I can take any Kerbal and run into the base and push it around.  I'm running 1.8.1, so I dont have access to the ground clamp that came about in 1.12.

Anybody have any ideas on how to anchor this to the ground so it doesn't move around?

You can put grip pads on the bottom if you have Breaking Ground, they have very high traction so it should slide around less.

But will that prevent it from being knocked over?

That depends on how the base is made. If the bottom of the base is wide it will be much more stable than if it is tall and narrow.

I get that.  But I'm looking for a way to secure it to the ground, like with clamps or some such.  But I'm guessing this doesn't exist in stock.  Are there any part mods that may have this ability?

Ground clamps don't exist in stock 1.8.1. Kerbal Attachment System has a ground anchor similar to the one in 1.12, but in my experience it can clip into the terrain and explode sometimes.
