I plan on picking one up for my caribou and moose hunting this fall....am I wasting my time?
Yes.
Get a regular mountaineering tent. It will hold up to Alaska conditions. You might review our Tents Section and our Tent Reviews for advice on this topic. I don't know why this stuff is called "Guide Model", as none of the hunting guides I personally know would use it.

Thanks Mike, when I asked about wasting my time I should have clarified, was I wasting my time waiting for a sale.
I'm satisfied the cabelas tent is of adequate quality for my intended use, I've got another tent for tougher work.
I'm still considering the arctic oven, I'd love to own one but I haven't justified it to myself yet, we'll see.
Thanks again for takin the time to reply!

... Buy the aluminum pole version only.
That's excellent advice. Fiberglass poles will splinter and can break under heavy winds.
