Same inner tent that comes with the lanshan 1. Never had any problems at all. Great. I know this is an older video but been catching up as ive only just discovered your channel. Just back from two nights wildcamping at steall falls. Also managed to get up big ben on the saturday. Amazing weekend. Loved it. Thanks for the vids!
I use a similar set up. home built inner tent and 9'x10' silnylon tarp. I built the inner by sewing a Sawyer bug net to a length of silnylon. left room to get in and it closes with a Velcro tab. with the tarp I can get the water far enough from me so it doesn't pool under me. I have been able to stay dry many times when tenters were getting pooled. I built it after not being able to find a cheap ultralight. with the ridgeline, guy lines, stakes tarp and inner it is only 2.5lbs. cost me $15, as I only bought the Sawyer bug bivy. I had the silnylon.
Signs of hope, things are re-opening slowly here too. BC provincial parks are opening, and camping will follow 1 month later. Funny how Ive met more people during lock-down, out on the trails, all having fun :D
Thanks for watching. Even when i was filming in a place I thought nobody would turn up at , two different large groups of people walking dogs went passed. Atb
Yes it works well and very handy in abd weather. Just need to create a V-pole system /setup rather than centre pole. Many do it with the Duomid but can be a faf. Need to get my thinking cap on. Don't mind a fair bit of extra weight if tent is mega stable and with lots of clear space inside. Atb
Brill, great info and find with that combo. Super light. I've just recently taken delivery of a new lanshan 2, green, 2 man, 4 season tent from Ali express. looks great and I can't wait to use it
Good looking set up Ray, thanks for sharing. According to Nicola's Route Map it looks like another 6 weeks at least before we'll be let off the leash and can get back into the mountains. Hope it's sooner...we're all missing our mountains. ATB.
Nice little review .Looks a potentially greate set up versatile but so simple. I keep threatening to buy MLD solomid xl but then get all nervous about the pyramid thing ! lol ATB and hope we can all get out soon onto the hill. really like your films BTW, simon
I've got one of those inners Ray and it really has stood up to a lot of use even with two Border Collies in it. Used it in my Supermid, Duomid and Cricket although it's a bit saggy in the Cricket but when I stick my stuff and the dogs it pads it out ok.
That inner is the best i have seen I love the T door to. I can see this being used with a tarp. Do you think the mesh is small enough to stop the midges?
Great video as always. Is it possible to share a link for the inner that you bought from AliExpress, just want to make sure I get the same on 😁 many thanks
Was a great tent setup and only sold it on as I needed to get a 2 person tent for the wife and myslef to go on a trip. Biggest regret of my camping life selling that setup as it was fantastic. Atb
Great set up Mr Scotsman Loads of room is my favourite feature which are those decathlon pants your wearing/£? and how do you rate them. Great video's . Been watching your cape wrath series waiting for your last one
The Decathlon stuff is great and worth the money. Have similar to the Trek 900 trousers and the tops that I have also worn for the last 4 years from them holding up well and still like new. Atb
Hi Ray, If you are looking for a winter inner for your tent try out the ALuxe winter solo inner F6E from Backpackinglight.co.uk they also do a half mesh inner which is slightly smaller called the V4A. Looking forward to seeing how your Duomid performs out in the open hillside. Take care.
Hi. Thanks! Really useful. I have a MLD mesh inner for my Duomid but wanted a solid one to reduce draughts. This looks great value. One comment, interested on your views. It looks like one side of the inner is steeper than other- the steep side being your 'head end'. Does that limit pitching opportunities ie if you're not on completely level ground and you want your head higher than your feet it would detetmine which way round you'd have to pitch the outer? Hope that makes sense!!! Still at the price it's worth a punt for me anyway.
I have added some adhesive tabs to add extra tie out points with it. This helps pull it out and give bit more space and stop it sagging. Will be trying it all on the CWT hike next week so you will see what I am on about in a future video. Atb
Hi Scot, Love this system :). i wanted to ask you a few questions , if you had to choose between the MLD duomid with this inner tent and the Notch Li with partial solid inner, which one would you go for? and why? Also which one feels more roomy inside to sleep in it? I'm 6 feet tall, concerning touching the inner tent with the end part of my sleeping bag. Also notch li seems very narrow at end parts, doesn't seem there is much space to move in it overall? The inner from aliexpress seems a bit more roomy? Which one it's more easy to pitch?? What about the floor of the Inner tent from aliexpress, is it very slippery? does the sleeping mat slip when tent is pitched on a slope? Thank you so much :))
Duomid with the aliexpress inner is better. Only reason i sold the duomid was the cammo pattern and lack of double zip on door. Other than that it is a great tent. It has the benefit of being able to setup your sleeping bag and mat in the inner nest and drop it to sit on as a seat. You have far more space inside to do admin. The T-Zip setup on the aliexpress means you can setup mats, ect far easier. The Duomid also comes with multiple guyline points for stormy weather which i am having to add to the Notch. I did have to add some adhesive tie out points for the ali inner just to make it a bit tighter when setup. One downside to the duomid is finding camping spots when doing trail walks as it is a fairly large footprint compared the Notch. From my experience using tents such as the Wickiup as well, any pyramid shelter performs great for space and wind protection. Atb
Looks good but would you not rather have your wickiup3 with that inner? It looks like you’ve lost a bit of room and I know how much you like camping in the snow. Still, as you said plenty of guy points on that one. Have fun hope it works out for you
Hi Maff. Still lots of room in this. I actually prefer it due to the smaller footprint making it easier to pitch in places. The WickiUp was good but it covered a massive area which was a slight negative depending where you wanted to camp. Atb
Ok pal, I follow you and l love your posts,.......like you I’m all about tents, my question is what is your favourite tent? Your best all rounder for weight, durability, ease of access, comfort, wind / rain repellent and of course cost.......tough question I know!
At the moment it is the MSR access range, both the one person and two person are excellent. If I had to pick only one it would be the MSR Access 2 as it was light enough as a single person and could use it with my wife out on joint camps. Atb
Hi Ray - this seemed to work great for you on your CWT! I've been using (and modding) Lanshans for a wee while now, but I see they have a 4 season L1 which is called the Lanshan 'plus', which actually simply means it's bigger on the inside! lol. I've ordered just the inner from aliexpress because the outer dimensions don't seem to have changed. At around £50 it's not overkill for what could be a big(ish) upgrade! just sayin'.... atb Sinco
Hi Ray cheers for sharing always find your videos informative and helpful when it comes to purchasing gear 👍 quick question if you don't mind? I'm currently looking for a 50/55l rucksack and looking at the Osprey Atmos but grudging spending as much as it costs. Do you have any recommendations for something under £100? Cheers
Would recommend this one that I use but only in large back size so not sure if it would do you. www.addnature.co.uk/gregory-optic-58-backpack-men-grey-765471.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIgfuAwu7M6QIViLHtCh2MPwTjEAQYASABEgJWavD_BwE&_cid=21_1_-1_9_2414_765471_434943195573_pla&ef_id=EAIaIQobChMIgfuAwu7M6QIViLHtCh2MPwTjEAQYASABEgJWavD_BwE&ev_chn=shop

Hi To try and help you I have a Osprey 85. A vango 65. A Asda 45. A vango 25. The Osprey is fantastic in every way bar the price. It was a multi person present. The vango 65 is good but never quite fitted me on my back for even pressure. The Asda 45 Is sboluitly fantastic. It gets used and abused all the time and still is perfect. It cost £16. My one regret is i didn't buy another couple at the time. 10/10 Vango 25 is a everyday bag and is old and knackered but it has served me 26 years. My advice to you is head to Go outdoors or similar and try them on with a load in them and walk about the shop to get the feel for it. Take your time and dont be rushed by any of the staff. Everyone's backs are different shapes and lengths. What is perfect for me might be totally wrong for you. Hope that helps you. Cheers
Hi Ray. I've been looking at getting something similar but am struggling as I'm 6'4". Any recommendations? Keep up the great vids by the way. Wish my wife would let me have as many tents as you get through 😂
Not sure mate and understand your frustration as most tents are at a 6" limit. However I do recommend you get in touch with the channel the Hounds of Howgate as he is over 6ft and uses the Zpacks tent. Also Andrew PArk videos of all his tent reviews and maybe one that will do. Also youc an get the lightwave sigma tents that are a single skin system and going by dimmensions you might be great with one of those. www.lightwave.uk.com/products/tents/sigma-0
My Duomid is still 'processing' (l ordered it back in December) and l just ordered this inner tent. If it's serving you well l'm sure it'll do a good job for me, too. l mostly got it for my wife anyway and for winter. Trust me: NO MORE SCOTLAND IN AUGUST for us 🤣)
Managed to get an inner tent from AliExpress for my MLD DuoMid and it's looking good so far.
Great to see you back out in nature again. Great vid.
Thanks, Atb.
Wow.. like the idea of collapsing the inner w gear in it, and then sitting on it.. would have not thought to do that! Thxs.
I like the way the bath tub holds up Ray. I like my tarp tent and have no complaints. All the best with yours when you get out. Have a good week. Mark
