I used to use a regular style tent up there, but now I'm all lightweight tipi when it comes to Alaska hunting. You have to be smart about where you set up your camp, but for a caribou hunt, I can't imagine ever using a regular tent again. A wood stove really helps for a lot of things, heat, drying, making coffee, burning wrappers, etc. I cook in my tent as well. I use another small "kids" tent for dry gear storage.
I use a 3-4" deadfall tree whenever possible for my centerpole and attach a few screw in hooks and bow arm hangers to hang things on to dry.
