Re: Which type of shelter?
I would recommend a high quality 3 season mountain tent.They are built for windy conditions or poor weather.Forget about cooking in them.Not a good idea.The expense will be worth it the first storm you are in.

Re: Which type of shelter?
In my goat and sheep days I used a MSR Hubba Hubba. Inside was room for 2 guys and nothing else but it was light and compact. It has 2 side entrances and a vesibule on each side. I kept my boots and rifle in the vesibule and used a very heavy duty garbage to pull over my pack at night. I have cooked with a small pack stove in the vesibule when raining but wouldn't recommend if windy. As the tent is so light I did a lot of trips with a partner who had the same tent and it's quite comfy for 1 person.
Re: Which type of shelter?
I use an MSR Mutha Hubba (3 man) whenever were in the mountains for sheep. Super lightweight and easy to setup. Also have TONS of room for 1 guy and lots of room for 2 as you can keep your boots, clothes and gun inside the tent with you. When were coming out of the mountains and set up camp down lower we use a Kifaru Sawtooth and stove. Nothing like cooking sheep steaks over a stove and having a glass of whiskey while its thundering down snow outside and staying warm and dry.
Re: Which type of shelter?
For solo pursuits, Hubba NX.
-Lots more room than 1/2 of a 2 person tent.
-Much easier to find flat spots for setup.
-Shrugs wind great when guyed out, especially with the narrower profile.
-Will handle blowing rain and sleet and still keep you dry.
-Light and compact
Trying to cover too many bases with one tent leads to grief.

My buddy has the same tent. Awesome piece of kit for 2 guys on a backpack hunt.
