Tips and Advice for a newfags first time going out.

I am very bored of my life, I don't have a job and have about 2 grand saved up. I'm looking to go out for about a month.

I will be camping along the Northern shore of Lake superior.
Any recommended one-man tents?
all other advice would be appreciated.

Are you backpacking or just camping in one spot?

I'm going to drive from one camping spot to the next. I will probably do a bit of day back-packing

Well I'm not well versed in tents myself, since I usually just use my basha since it's lightweight, and does the job. But then again I live in the UK so I haven't had any problems with mozzies and their ilk. Not sure what it's like out in Lake Superior.

You could get a Eureka Solitaire, I've heard good things about it as a lightweight one man tent.

Good luck on the camping though, once I save more money, I plan on quitting my crappy job and flying over to the US to hike the entire Appalachian trail NOBO.

As for other advice, if you're gonna be driving from spot to spot, the backpack weight won't be as important, so you can take more than you'll need.

I wouldn't recommend that tent if you are looking for staying more than 2 days on it, specially if it rains. Get a dome configuration. Look at alps mountaineering for budget tents that will do the job.

The one thing I don't like about it is that there's too many parts in those poles, hence more chances for things to break, and you are looking for a month living in that.

How about this one, it's smaller but you can combine it with a tarp and extend the tiny abside area:
