On a tent quest....

I would go with the Kifaru sawtooth. One of the best shelters to exist.

Light Heart Gear makes a couple of tents you might want to look at also

On several of the Tarptent designs that typically use trekking poles ... if you want to leave your tent set up and take your trekking poles along, you can either get the Tarptent poles (but they aren't too sturdy I am told) or you can get some nice carbon poles from Ruta Locura. That is what I did with my Stratospire.

Bear Paw Wilderness Designs will do any length pole in aluminum as well. Lots of things I like carbon for, but shelter poles isn't one of them.

BPWD also offers the aluminum in several different diameters, forgot to mention that.

Hmmm. You may have heard that about the substitute poles we used to sell. The vertical support poles we currently sell are just as strong as a pair of trekking poles.

Have you looked at the Tarptent Scarp 1? I was looking for pretty much the same thing you were before last hunting season and picked one up. Besides the times when I want a stove, this is my go to tent. It's solid, 3.25 lbs, you can add optional crossing poles if you're really going to be in the nasty stuff, but I don't think they're necessary if you don't let too much snow pile up. I run a neoair xtherm max large pad 25" x 77" and still have plenty of room for my pack and rifle in there. With the updates they made in 2016 you can choose to have more interior tent floor space or more vestibule space depending on your preference. If you haven't picked something yet, I'd give it a hard look. And check out Scotland's Mountains on youtube, he takes a Scarp 1 on a lot of his trips, above timberline winter camping.

I just picked up a Marmot Tungsten 1P for this hunting season, great price and good looking tent.
