I wish I could find one shelter to rule them all. Currently have a 4 season Kuiu. Msr carbon reflex, and my number 1 go to is the big angus flycreek 2. Have just brought a Durston Xmid pro to give a jam. Prob bring that to Idaho and give it a good work out.

The Durston Xmid Pro should be a solid option. Mark tested a pre-production version that showed a lot of promise.

I used a xmid 1 solid last November and it was awesome. I do recommend getting one of their z-flick sticks if you want to keep your tent set up while you hunt, I like to take one trekking pole hunting.
