I've done moose hunts in northern Ontario and Quebec. I've done them in tents, in pop-ups and pickups, and in a cabin. Obviously the cabin is 'best'. However, its my experience that a popup is far superior to a tent.
A tent leaves you on the group, without comfortable seating, without real opportunities to stand (unless its a BIG tent) and can be pretty tough in rough weather. A popup isn't great but it has two levels (beds and floor) and frequently a small table so you can sit and relax in comfort in the evenings. The beds are off the grounds and therefore far less vulnerable to getting wet (which usually happens from standing water on the ground). There is typically far more room inside, and its easier to rig drying lines inside.
I know I'd FAR rather have a popup than a tent in touigh weather. We hunted in temps down to 10 degrees, in rains, wind and snow. Cabins are best but a popup beats a tent by a wide margin.
