KC,

With all due respect, and I do respect you and your opinion as you've always been square with me, the REI Qd2 is what I had until recently and I got rid of it when I got the SeekOutside LBO and vestibule with a stove.

I froze my ass off in the Qd2 several times over and in several different states. I've been nice and toasty warm in a tipi with a stove.

I've never run the Hille tents, nor been to AK, and I certainly don't have anywhere near the experience of several people posting on this thread. I do know that the Qd2 was not right for me, at least not where I was going, and the tipi/stove has worked better. Now, AK or seriously above tree-line? No idea, but I can see how the Hille (especially with their reputations) would be a much better bet.
