Keep in mind I'm a leaf so none of those are available, pretty sure they'll get stopped at the border because ITAR, or the seller won't ship to gay commie faggot land.

I'll be serious here, I don't mind spending more for a good quality lightweight and compact tent.

I was mostly joking. Mostly.

The point is that surplus tents are cool and all but they're heavy and >>2183568 don't keep wasps off my face when I'm trying to sleep.

I'm trying to find a good quality tent that's lightweight (4-5lbs) and packs up very small.

the desert one isn't burlap or a pup tent
it says 8.2 pounds but thats because they give you really heavy stakes, like half the overall weight, which are the first thing to replace anyway
it's a great tent; room for two or you and a big bag, good airflow
Won't shill it too hard but if weight was the issue, its not one with the desert F1- and for ~40$ is good

I had to google. This is my first five minutes in /out/, I normally just go to the woods with a gun, water, and a tarp. I have no idea what any of this shit is aside from a "tent", looks like "bivvy" is what I'm actually looking for.

I thought you meant like use the tarp as a lean-to, had no idea what bivvy was so I was like "a lean-to doesn't keep wasps off my face".

I'd recommend this instead of the F1
Better airflow, same kind of A-frame, and dead cheap. Condensation can be a problem with A-Frame tens.
https://www.rivercountryproducts.com/product/trekker-tent-2-2/
With any cheap tent I'd throw in a small cheap tarp. Like these from Canadian tire.
https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/woods-waterproof-lightweight-camping-tarp-green-3-m-x-2-m-0762960p.html#srp
To use as either extra protection above, or to be used as a ground sheet for protection below.
Make any tent more adaptable.
>>2183558
I'm also a leaf.
You might want to try a bivy+tarp. I currently use an MSR Elixir 2 person tent, and it's great, but I'm trying to move towards cowboy camping or bivy + tarp + bug net/mask
>>2183568
This is what I'm trying to do.
OP, if you're trying to do this you can get Bivy sacks like this
https://www.atmosphere.ca/categories/gear-by-activity/camp-hike/tents/bivy-sacks-tarps/product/outdoor-research-alpine-bivy-332231708.html
That have a full close, net close, and open zipped head.
That bivy is made from goretex, which is pretty good, nice and tough.
The big problem with bivy sacks is condensation.
You can also get ultralight ones likes this
https://borahgear.com/sidebivy.html
That have a sidezip and bug net on the face part. Would pair well with a tarp.
>>2183604
You could just pair a lean to with hat + bug net that goes over your head.

The F1 is a lot of things, but it's not small, light nor 1 person.

Since you're a leaf, I'll add some info about the tarp I linked in >>2183647
Pic rel you can see the tarp (green bag) and rope + pegs (red bag) next to some shoes/boots.
You can see here about how big it is when folded up. It's not hard to fold to put back in the bag it comes in.
It's also very cheap for camping tarp ($25CAD). You can get even lighter tarps that folds down smaller, but it can get pricey.
The only real problem I've found with the tarp is there isn't as much grommets (rings) on the tarp.
There are grommets on each corner, then one grommet in the middle on each side.
There is also a hoop in the middle of the tarp that is very useful for tying off or using it as an over head tarp for hammocks.
Seams durable, it is seam-sealed and waterproof.
Canadian Tire also has a larger option.
https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/woods-waterproof-lightweight-family-camping-tarp-grey-4-m-x-3-m-0762959p.html?rrec=true#spc
Of course you might not even be interested in the tarps, but I thought I'd add it.
If you don't know Steve check his videos out. He's in Edmonton and often uses budget gear.

Here are examples of higher quality tarps.

Here's the tarp with my bike, in this pic you can see the loop in the middle. I fold the tarp back under to put my sleeping pad on because of how big the tarp is, but that's optional.

Now back to the one person shelters. I think you'll like this.
If I was in your position, and I had more money than I do I would go with this.
The Snugpack Ionosphere.
It's a 2 wall tent, meaning condensation will be much much less of an issue, and you can use it with just the bug net if you want.
It doesn't translate with this picture, so look up video reviews if interested, but it's bigger than a bivy with a loop when set up. Of course you still can't really sit up like a larger tent.
Still, packs down small.
I would still bring a tarp with this tent, simple to use as an awning if it were raining and I didn't want to lay down.

That one also compacts a lot smaller
Also, some of the F1 French tents don't have mesh screen.
>>2183818
I didn't know the F1 had side vents and mesh screen doors. The F1 tents I've seen didn't have screen doors. Interesting.

>it does either 20 or 50 dollars more than the F1 I linked
>Brand New River Country
$57USD
>Used F1 (Tropic)
$42USD
>Used F1
$70USD
I think and Extra 10USD is worth it to get a new tent.
Also the Snugpack Ionosphere is specifically a tent, not a bivy.
>>2183558
River Country ships to Canada, but it might be even cheaper if you can find the tent on Amazon.
Also, I just found this one person tent they make that I didn't know about. Might be worth looking into.

I owned a cheap one person tent a few years ago and it was the worst camping investment I ever made. It condensate to the point of anything inside being soaked if you even slept with the bug screen shut. I threw it out and have been using very similar to this for the last few years. Its only marginally heavier than the smaller tent to hike with and is a far superior experience https://www.kathmandu.co.nz/retreat-40-2-person-tent.html?colour=4791
