For hardcore basecamping, I'm fond of my Tentipi Safir cotton/polyester blend. A nice fire going in the middle, and you're comfy AF. Also, check out the line from Seek Outside.

The Hilleberg Keron (pic related) will take any blizzard, and your kids may inherit it. Of course, other well renowned manufacturers make similarly nice tents: The North Face V25 is a legendary Everest staple: The Helsport Xtreme lineup Extreme have seen more trips to the South pole than most others.

Look up the MLD Duomid and Trailstar, and tents/shaped tarps from Hyperlite Mountain Gear and ZPacks.
