Great review. I got rid of the rams horn clip, replaced it with 2 short bungee loops hooked to an extra peg, with one door open the other is more taut so no flapping

Thanks for this video, it was perfect because I've been considering the XL version and will be buying it soon

I've just found your video, and enjoyed it. I, too, have a Lanshan One, just like yours with 'T' zip set up. It's an ideal tent for me, I'm much older than you and not so supple any more, and what I like about it so much is, with my tent fully opened up I can transfer what I want from my rucksack into my tent without really having to bend down. I did away with the original entrance cord set up, I now just peg one flap into the ground and the other flap is secured by the zip. I've had my tent over two years, and it's never leaked, and I've only had to lower my pole once, I lost my nerve in a very windy storm in France. This tent for me has only one real drawback, it's not freestanding, on three nights in the Pyrenees last year it was so very hot and the ground was like concrete all I could do was to get inside the mesh and let the tent drape over me. My view is that it's one of the best tents, definitely the best tent I've ever owned. All the best.

This was great review, thank you. I have a question, how does the tent behave in rain and or light snow? Next September I plan to hike the northern section of the Arizona Trail (532 km) which ranges from 2400 meters to above 2600 meters and the weather changes quickly. When it comes to wind, rain, and snow, how does the tent handle? Thank you so much. I've subscribed and excited to watch you outdoor adventures. Cheers!

Perfect review man, have some questions, because have this tent in my basket already, but need to ask
Do you think, 4 season with 20D windproof and breathable cloth with perform in same way as 3 season with 20D mesh during summer? Just thinking if will be not too warm if I go for some hike in Spain for example, but I guess should be minimum difference.
Because Im in UK and do some hikes in autumn or early spring, 4 season makes more sense
Another thing is what about seam sealed? Almost everywhere in specs is that should be already, but I only saw some review on this tent too where the guy pitched the tent and poured with water from his garden hose and he's got little leaks inside through those 3 black tips outside of the tent walls, what actually he said he knew they need to be sealed by yourself, so just want to be sure if its correct.
Im very glad for this extented version and with double wall dont have to be worry so much about condesation and get wet my down bag.

Good instructional video, I will place it on the website.

Did you add the linelocks to your inner or did it come that way? I have the plus but with 3 season (mesh) T-zip inner and mine just came with adjustable loops made from the same material as the guyline. I swapped the loops out for shock cord so it self-tensions which works well but it doesn't want to lie flush to the ground in the corners and raises up, your linelocks seem to do a good job of keeping things taut and square.

Surprised that you haven't had to do any seam sealing, I was getting water weeping through the guy line points onto the inner if there was more than just a quick shower but it was an easy fix. Nicely presented video.

Nice review, mate.
I own this tent ⛺️ and it has served me very well.
I did a quick mod on the front door by replacing the hook with the z packs hook, which makes the tent even better.

Well done, that’s a really good quality review of a decent budget tent.

[apexjunky]

Good wondering if i could get away with my 130 fixed length z -poles with this tent...looks like i might

[myminiadventures]

Great video and very informative, I have just got the Lanshan 1 and set it up in the garden. It didn’t take too long to set up but I am probably going to go with the extra stake for the doors like others have. Looking forward to putting it to good use over the coming months.

[NathanHassall]

Hey you mentioned finding a double hook ram latch thing on ali express? Can you point me to a listing for this...Zpacks shipping is 4 times the cost of the actual latch.

[raphaelsommer]

your tent looks really well set up. It looks like there is much room in it... how did you do that? I ve seen other reviews where inner tent seemed to be veeeery loos and stuff... so I got afraid I bought the wrong tent but you re relieving me now 😂

[usairchairmanpfd]

Wow! Excellent review brother. You are 100% correct, the Lanshan 1 and 2 are without a doubt the best all round tents on the market. If you have more money then brains…you can buy a zpack. Yes, you’ll save a pound in weight, but you’re likely to freeze you ass off on cold nights. Thanks for sharing mate.

Hi, thanks for your review. I am about to buy this tent but cannot decide between 3 and 4 season.
I am taking it to scotland so on one hand I expect a lot of wind but on the other 3 season version may not cope with midges maybe. Also all mesh seems to be better in terms of condensation, but I have read some comments that it's even worse because moisture collects on the floor. Also more reports of leaking comes from the one from inner mesh (maybe just coincidence) What would you advise?

[kcoo]

Nice review. Thanks. You left nothing out of the setup routine and provided helpful tips. Where can you buy the metal rams horn? That would be helpful to know.

[CharlesW-wzsc]

Great video and I agree with the analysis of this tent. I bought a Lanshan 1 a year ago to get my pack weight down on my frequent Highland hikes and it has kept the weather and the midges out without fail. My Thermarest NeoAir and sleeping kit fit in easily. It is a bit tight for pack space and my retriever sneaks in under the pinned back entrance flap in dry weather (he has his own poncho basha so my pack goes in there! ) It is important to lift the guys as high as possible in order to tension the inner - the second hiking pole or a piece of wood can do this as shown in the intro photo on the video - otherwise it can sag. Recommended tent.

I got this tent, and I was having trouble closing both the vestibule flaps when I go to sleep. Is it meant to close both vestibule flaps when going to sleep, or is it meant to have one open? Any suggestions on how to make this easier?

[deetee-uk]

Great video. Just bought one...but what's a ram horn clip?

[mikegibson]

Good review and now considering buying one. I have the Lanshan 1pro, which l'm pleased with, but as a single skinner, condensation can sometimes be an issue.
