You guys that have done it would you recommend a open floor t-pee style tent or a true 4 season full floor tent. Weight is a consideration but not a deal breaker as its early and I can shave weight or add it where I need to.

If you are expecting high winds then 4 season would be the way to go. Be aware that most 4 seasons do not breathe well in heavy rain. They really are more for snow and wind.
I have a solid 3 person trango used once that I am looking to sell if you go 4 season.
I would likely go floorless with stove though.

I don't think the stove is going to be on our packing list. There is really nothing to burn in the area we are getting dropped off at.
Condensation is a big consideration though.

One of the trips we had a lot of room and used an Artic Oven... the best I have used. One trip was a Cabelas 4 man Outfitter Dome, it worked well, no issues.
The rest of the trips we used REI backpacking tents, my current is a 2man Quarter Dome by myself.
What is your weight allowance?

I have hunted Brooks/ANWR several times and used an open floor t-pee once... that was a 16 day float. I will NEVER (never ever to be clear) take an open floored shelter into that country again. We had unbelievable condensation issues and then the temp got down into the teens and we were getting snow inside.

Just over 900 for 3 guys total weight. We are planning for no more than 100 per guy max.

I don’t think the floor less teepee tents will cut it out there unless you get absolutely perfect conditions. I just got back from a southern Brooks range caribou hunt (aug 25-sep 2) and the wind was consistently blowing 35-45 miles per hour for 6 days and nights straight. There’s is nowhere to hide out there. We had a cabelas guide model tent that worked well. PM me if you have any other questions
and this was fun? :chuckle:
