4 Season Camping Tents?

wolf_in_hu

Lately I've been getting into the whole wilderness survival thing, and I've done a bit of a background research in it. I've come to find out it's best to get 4 season tents because 1. You're not limited to any type of season and 2. They're vastly more durable than regular tents but I've still got a few questions I'd like cleared up.

Are the best tents really dome shaped? I've heard the dome or "cross bar top" shaped tents provide the best structure in high wind situations, I'd like the opinion of someone with experience. Is it really the Tent design or the way the person sets it up? Also I've heard that low profile tents are better suited for high winds just how low exactly? I'm more than willing to sacrifce head room for preformance (come on it's a camping tent, you're suppose to sleep in the thing not throw a dance party)

Are they're any good 4 season tents that ARE NOT school bus yellow? I know some may argue this is a safety thing so you can find your way back to camp, but if the weather is really bad common sense says not to got wandering around. Plus my mother and father have gone hunting together, they say you can't see the orange "safety" outfits even at 10 feet. This is just a personal choice thing.

And finally, are there any dependable, highly rated 4 season tents for 1 person? I'd like to travel as light as possible, I'll settle for a 2 person tent if I have to but 1 person tents would be ideal.

As far as price goes it really doesn't matter to me, I've come to find out as far as camping equipment goes you truly get what you pay for. And any additional information camping wise is welcomed by the way.
By the way I should point out that I'm mostly interested in preformance of the tent and it's color, I'll deal with a little extra weight in the pack if I have to but still it's nice to look around for what you want.

I would recommend a good three season tent check under Sierra designs they make some great tents. I have had one now for a three years and camped in below zero weather in it and had some nasty rainfalls and have never had a problem. North face makes some great products as well. I am not sure where you live but in Canada we have a store called MEC they make their own brand of tents and are very good as well if you google MEC it will come up and you can look at their catalog. But if I was you check out Sierra Designs I would say they are the best tent on the market. I have the Electron a great two man dome tent with two vestibules.

The link above has good size tents but they are on the expensive side, as would any 6 man tent would be.

These tents are a bit less expensive and are probably exactly what you are looking for.

I would also look into 2- 3 man tents or 3- 2man tents.
