Remote Wild Camping Scotland | Beinn Ghlas | 3F UL LanShan 2 Pro
On this wild camping trip, me and GazTheExplorer decided to do some summit camping up Beinn Ghlas. The trek started well until we arrived at the steep bit! I stupidly wore trousers on a very warm day and had to take many breaks on the way up. One in particular I genuinely felt like collapsing... but as soon as my body cooled, I strolled all the way to the top whilst fighting against flying ants - who are more intolerable than midges! We finally reached out destination around 5pm and our summit camp began! Today, I introduced a new addition to the team: the 3F UL LanShan 2 Pro review! It's a brief review as it was my first outing in it, but I plan to do another in-depth one soon. Wild camping on a mountain is by far the most peaceful experience, an absolute bliss with the stunning views and an eerie, quiet atmosphere with rogue sheep. It was a warm night, a fantastic sleep, and I had the privilege of waking up to a cloud inversion for the 1st time! Another fantastic wild camping in the highlands of Scotland!
Look after yourselves, and again, thanks for the kind messages regarding my health x

Wow it was beautiful! Great video. Thank you!!
No problem at all :)
Wow! Thats the best scenery I think youre ever shown, Monty. Absolutely brilliant! I surprized you did not take a bivy with you just in case. Cheers.
Thankfully there was a ridge of high pressure over the UK mate. There was still some midges around otherwise I would have just bivvied mate. Great to hear you love this too bud!
Fantastic summit camp guys , and that cloud inversion was awesome rally enjoyed that one Atb K
Cheers Kev!
Our Gaz seems like a super chap👍. Fantastic job pal. Wishing you all the best by the way m8
I love camping with Gaz. He's a brilliant and world class bloke. Would happily camp with him till I kick the bucket. We are hoping to do more stuff together, I just need to get my mental health in check. But thank you for the kinds words and I hope you are well too, sir!
Late to the Monty party, but working back to catch up. Again, great vid. Much future success to this channel.
Mate... welcome to the mad house and you take your time. Honestly appreciate the support you are giving here. Appreciate the kind words, sir, and hope you are well :)
Great Tae see ya oot again ma man
Cheers Alan! How you keeping, mate?
@@MontyOutdoors all good pal
Nice one Monty👍 Enjoyed the trip once we got to the top of the Munro. Never knew about the trekking pole opening at the bottom since I’ve never needed to do it... Good to know though👍 The weather is looking good for next weekend so I’ll see you for another high camp. ATB Gaz.
Extra breaks, less clothing, and more water for me! But glad I showed you the secret tip about the bottom of your trekking pole. Brilliant trip and roll on next Saturday!
Hello Monty. Looked like a good high camp. Well done. Really enjoyed watching. Atb Steve 👍
Cheers Steve. Hope you are keeping well, mate.
Nice one Monty... And Gaz. Stunning conditions likesay. 😎
Cheers Kev! Murder of a hike, but worth it in the end.
Looking forward to watching this, the lanshan is another of my tents, I love it 😊
Great Video, two top blokes 👍
@@lomino6478 Cheers you absolute legend! And I think I will grow to love it. Just need to learn how to pitch it properly, seam seal it, and take it out in the rain. Did you have any condensation issues?
It is a great tent, very spacious, very light and packs down very small. As far as condensation, I think it's down to conditions, it's just that being semi single skinned you more easily come into contact with it. If its not too windy you can pitch it a bit higher to help with ventilation. I find gradual small adjustments when pitching you can usually get it pretty spot on.
@@lomino6478 I couldn't believe how compact the thing was! Even the 2 man one! But I'm sure I'll fall in love with it. But thank you for the advice mate. I've no idea what the height was but I may have it back out in the next videos!
@@MontyOutdoors will be good to see more lanshan adventures (don't you think the 2 pro is, so light, the 1 isn't worth sacrificing the space for the gain in weight ?)
Talking of seam sealing, a bit controversial, I used clear builders silicone sealant, diluted with white spirit. Using the supplied syringe it went on perfectly, and hasn't leaked 😊👍I say controversial because some people insist you need the very expensive stuff in a tiny tube 🙄nah!
Hi Monty! Fabulous location, even if it nearly broke you getting up there 😁 That cloud inversion in the morning was something special! Liked the pasta with chili sauce idea. I might borrow that one👍 I very nearly went for a Lanshan 1 Pro as a lighter backpacking tent, but as you saw, I've opted for that DD Superlight. All the best and take care👍👍
I have the legs of a 60 year old, mate. Have you had a cloud inversion before as that was my first. And I would advise against the chilli sauce as it burst and went all over my bag, sleeping bag, mat and other equipment lol. Just as well, because the condensation on it is brutal!
Cheers for popping by and supporting the channel. Legend!
@@MontyOutdoors Never as perfect an inversion as that, I don't think! I guess most single skin tents will get a fair bit of condensation. At least the DD has plenty of ventilation. But I wouldn't fancy using a down sleeping bag in it! Those little sachets of stir fry chilli sauce might be a safer bet to carry. ÀTB👍
Do you remember the names of the music you uploaded to this video by any chance? The second track in particular was especially cool.
Patrick Patrikios - Glacier
Godmode - Underwater Exploration
Silent Partner - Solar Flares
In that order. Thanks for asking as I'm supposed to give credit. Will update.
Brilliant vid Monty enjoyed watching . Atb Nigel
Thanks handsome x
Nice video mate.. totally agree you shouldn’t have to seam seal it yourself after you’ve bought it. In two kinds whether to buy the lanshaan 2. What tent has your mate got?
He's got the Hilleberg Enan. And it's a neat skill to teach yourself, but there's the fear you've did something wrong lol. I have the Lanshan Pro 1 and I got my mate to seam seal that. I liked the Lanshan Pro 2. Great headroom and space for 1 person, very lightweight. Condensation issues and a threat in the wind though.
Looks like you had a great camp despite the flying ants! That Lanshan tent looks pretty good, I'm guessing it's pretty light as it has no poles! Did they supply it for you to review or did you purchase it?
Craghoppers used to do trousers where you could unzip the legs to turn them into shorts. They might be worth getting for hot days?
I was given it to review and promote and I had to use Gaz' trekking poles as mines are broke haha. Early review is not the greatest, but I need to seam seal it and test it in the rain. The condensation in it is the world's worst. It's a fun and spacious tent, but it so far has several nuisances.
I use thermals on warmer days, but for some stupid reason I decided to wear trousers!
Loved your double act with Gaz-Some good tips for Munroes. Great inversion shots in the morning. Cheers mate.
Glad you enjoyed it, mate. Hoping to do as many camps with Gaz as possible. Absolutely brilliant character.
Red moon and a cloud inversion ya jammy git , looked cracking mate 👍🇬🇧
Got another red moon last Saturday too! But this time we were in the clouds. Hoping to get the video up on Sunday.
@@MontyOutdoors look forward to seeing that ! You live tonight aye ?
Not sure if the pro is different from my lanshan 2 but looks like you pegged out the doors. On the normal lanshan 2 the doors hook too the guyline which would have saved you 2 pegs. You do have it a lot tighter than when we were out, I blame how bad I set it up on the ground and the beers though 🤣🤣🤣.
Mate, I've no idea what I'm doing with the God dam thing lol. We should have a Lanshan Party where we all bring our Lanshan's are just give them in-depth, constructive criticism and annoy the Lanshan fanboys.
@@MontyOutdoors I still like my lanshan its alright for what it is
@@GusExplores Love/hate relationship with mine.
Stunning summit camp Monty. 👌🏼 cloud inversions have been mint this year.
1st time ever and it was some experience. Even better when you walk into them to cool down. What. A. Feeling.
Not impressed with the Lanshan and it's condensation issue btw.
@@MontyOutdoors was it the right conditions for condensation? I've yet to find a small backpacking tent that doesn't get condensation. 🤨
@@WalkWithWallace Just noticed this. I've never had any condensation issues in any of my tents. Small, lightweight tents I have the cheap and cheerful Phoxx 1 and Nevis 100. Zero condensation issues.
It was just weird with the single skin Lanshan. Two ventilation ports at the top and it's a drafty tent, so there shouldn't have been any, but the odd drop kept hitting my face. Maybe the cloud inversion/temp difference had something to do with it, but it was just so damp.
@@MontyOutdoors certainly with single skin tents the condensation is more noticeable as there's nothing to protect you from droplets. The Lanshan 1 Pro can be bad in still conditions.
Red moon!... Was this Friday night then?
It was a Tuesday mate. There was a red moon up the Pentlands last night too.
goood video
Thanks James!
That’s a one on the wow factor
Enjoyed it immensely
Cheers mate 👍
Thanks Martin :)
The flying ants further up are the ants on the ground from further down. They fly around in swarms and show up on radars like a big rain cloud. They'll have bumped into the hill just like real clouds do, they don't live that high up ordinarily. Great vid and views. I too struggle with the heat, i'd have been shorts and tap aff with a water filter so I didn't need to carry much. Don't think I've seen you using one in vids but I use them all the time out bike packing. We're not short of water here in Scotland!
I am not a fan of flying ants and I bumped into them again in the Pentlands the following week! But cheers for the interesting info mate, I heard sand also is picked up on rainfall radars! I have no idea why I went up with my trousers on mate, no idea. And sadly there wasn't that many streams and my water filter melted... yip melted. I have a water bottle with a filter which I regularly use, but my mini sawyer melted! Hope you are well mate.
@@MontyOutdoors aye all good cheers. HTF do you manage to melt a water filter? Got a sawyer mini but never used it in anger yet as my be free supposedly has much better flow rates and the filling bag it comes with is easier to use. 'Mon the ants! Way better them than midgies. 😂
@@PeteDevlinootnaboot Mate, we have no idea what happened. I'm going to get in contact with them about it!
Yet another fab vid! Those views are just incredible!!
Loved the chat with Gaz, the flying ants sound awful!
Loving the look of the Lanshan to be honest, I’m very tempted to get one, great to know it’s big enough for us tall folk lol!
That sunset! 😍 and what an amazing cloud inversion!!! Just wow!! Thanks for sharing and I hope you’re well 😃😘
Thanks for popping by, Karen and glad you enjoyed the video. Hope you and the family are keeping well. I'm still struggling to get by lol.
If you are going to get a Lanshan, get a double skinned one and not the single skin, as this came with major condensation issues. MAJOR.
@@MontyOutdoors ok thanks for the advice. Sorry you’re still struggling, you know where I am if you need a chat xxx
It's tricky pitching the Lanshan. It took me about 10 times before I got it right. That crease you show in the side. Pulling the right tent stake out and repositioning it and pulling the cord to tighten will help. It's for sure a tricky tent to pitch. I seamed sealed mine, I guess they don't to save costs and keep the tent cheap to purchase. I agree it's not a great tent for windy conditions. That sunset could cure anything that ails you, so stunning. So cool to see wild sheep, we don't have too many of those where I live, they are mostly on the west coast. The morning cloud inversion was so beautiful. Another great video my friend!
Yeah, I'll be taking the Lanshan to my friend's garden next week and we are going to master the art of pitching it. And glad you enjoyed it! I love sheep and I love camping with sheep. It's such a bizarre experience to describe, but they are beautiful animals and the lambs especially are curious little cuties. Thanks for watching and enjoying! Hope you're well.
Nice one lads Sunday night we were gonna camp there but continued up to Ben Lawer we got a lovely inversion with a Brocken spectre in the morning. Happy hiking 🥾
Summit Tae Dae is a magnificent username. 10/10. Is there many spaces to camp near Ben Lawers? I was dying mate as soon as I got to Beinn Ghlas.
@@MontyOutdoors so was I 😂 I struggled by up tho. We camped just off the summit three one man tents. Have a look at the pics on Facebook summit tae Dae, the boys had a boil in the foil dinner wile I had a full steak dinner from the jetboil skillet 😂
Awesome video n drone footage monty
Cheers mate!
Enjoyed the vlog Monty, so stunning views - A camp in the woods or the beach is my limit now so let me know when you plan to do one. I can get the train up to Scotland but someone would have to meet me there.
Always happy to help, Terry! And count me in for a low level camp!
@@MontyOutdoors I will send you my email address and phone number via Facebook-
Wow really enjoyed this vid, the views from camp was amazing, glad you got your cloud inversion after the effort and the flying ants. Thanks for sharing. 👍
1st time ever and delighted mate! Thanks for dropping by and leaving a lovely comment. Massively appreciated.
Nice Monty 👍
Thanks Martin. Hope you are well. Got myself a wee cheap bike to start with!
@@MontyOutdoors good stuff Monty. Looking forward to some cycling vids mate 👍😁
@@Scottishebikeadventures Cycling camp is a possibility....
@@MontyOutdoors Yes mate bike packing 👍
Superb footage mate Stunning views
.As I said before you are a fantastic film maker .You have the chance to be the best.Keep filming mate.
Aw thanks Iain. I really love these comments as they keep me motivated and my stats show I am slowly improving. I'm going to purchase a really good mic to make it more enjoyable for you guys. Hope you are keeping well buddy!
Nice one lads, looked a good camp. I bought the Lanshan Pro 2 myself , i've only had it out once though ...plenty room in it for me and the dogs ..cheers Stevie
It was a great camp mate. Did you have any condensation issues with your Lanshan Pro 2?
@@MontyOutdoors Aye i did mate , its single skin so i knew i would. I have a Trailstar and thats the same
@@ootnboots I wasn't expecting the single skin to be an issue, but jesus, it was literally raining in the tent and it was very drafty. Looks like I should bring a wee cloth with me in future for it!
Looked like a good trip out with gaz nice video as always, not keen on trekking pole tents like something more stable. Atb
Aye. Don't take it out in the wind. Even in that wind, the tent was caving in and the wind was going under the tent.
Enjoyed watching this one m8 good content & stunning scenery
Cheers guys x
Another fab vid :) please tell me you didn’t use a whole bottle of hot sauce again?!
I didn't Sarah, but the hot sauce has stained my bag, speakers, thermarest....
You travel adventure mountain beautiful
Thanks for watching :)
Another very enjoyable video.Stunning inversion . ATB
Glad you enjoyed it, mate. Hope all is well.
Brilliant vid. What a beautiful place. Based in Newcastle, loving the wild camping though only done a couple trips up to now.
Glad you enjoyed it, mate! You looking to get out more often? Winter is the best time, something about that lack of light and freezing cold!
Yeah mate, hoping to get to a few spots around the Cheviots asap. Absolutely love it. There's nothing like it.
@@bulletproof5472 I've yet to do the Cheviots myself and would love too. I think me, Gaz, and Steve's Wild Camping will be doing it at some point. Keep at it mate and let me know how you get on. Once you get the bug, you're in the game for life lol.
