"For late season elk hunting, sheep hunting, AK caribou hunt, winter camping, you need a 4-season, double-wall tent, with a full-coverage fly, a floor and a vestibule that will stand up to high winds and heavy snow loads. The best on the market are made by Hilleberg. Yeah bite the bullet and pay the price. The Hilleberg Jannu and the Hilleberg Kaitum are bombproof tents and are about as light as you find for a 4-season tent.
When we all know that they can buy a good 3-season tent for $300 that will serve their needs 95% of the time.

A bit of contradictory advise here, seems to me. What is it a $300 tent or a 4 season Hilleberg.
The Jannu is $975 The Kaitum is $865 to $925.
A similar sized tipi from Seek Outside, The Backcountry Shelter pricing starts at $629. I sure don't see anything obscene about that pricing.
Oh yeah, if you want to compare $300 tents, then compare to the BT2 which starts at $229.
And as I said earlier, if the OP chooses a Hilleberg, he will be well served. They are excellent tents.
