Well I don't know what your definition of cold is, but I have been to 9F in a Kelty Gunnison 4 man tent we have packed in with two of us and three people. We split tent items for the pack in.

1, 2, or 3P tent? Where (states/provinces) will it be used? Above timberline, or mixed?

That’s probably the finest all-mountain tent design I’ve seen in years, from any maker. I notice it has borrowed heavily from the Big Sky Int’l Revolution series. The Revolution 2P with a solid interior would be another, lighter option I’d look hard at. The MSR Access 2 or 3P look good as a fairly light choice too.

Yep, basically a copy of the tried and true NF Guide Tent, except the Guide Tent has a heavy duty floor. BTW, the Guide's rainfly fits perfectly on the MH tent when that tent needs to function as a double wall in lowlander weather.

I’m struggling to see how the Kuiu is a copy of TNF Guide... they’re very different tents.

Locus Gear makes lovely gear, but I can think of a lot better ways to spend $1,300
