Bucket list trip to Canada and Alaska in winter.
I really think I have a full handle on sleeping and clothing now, and I was thinking I would just take the little Minaret with me as I really cannot justify a new Hilleberg.
I was looking at Cabelas for a bigger basecamp tent [ sharing costs with the US mate ] and I saw this one

External tensioned frame and integral pitch; both of which are must haves in my opinion for erecting in any sort of wind.
Wind tunnel test show OK to about 80 kph and better pitching and additional side guys would really help there, either sewn in or simply quick clips
Add on valances and I think it might work.
By the time I put my big Arctic sleeping system inside the tent there wouldn't really be much excess room
