Hey Michael! Absolutely beautiful spot for a camp, just beautiful by the stream with the trees ❤️ well done for sharing, we’ve all been there but it was a great vid and the mods look great too. Big hugs 🤗
Good to see you back out! Look forward to more wild camp vids! Need to get my hands on one of those tables! Been a crazy 18 months and content like yours inspires people to take time out and reconnect! Keep it up!
Thanks josh. It's been a long wait. Can't wait for the next one as will enjoy that more hopefully. My tables will be back up for sale next week hopefully but I'll post when they are. Atb 👍
How brave of you to put this up. The pandemic and the unexpected solitary time off work certainly knocked me about, and others I know, yes "Mr Bring on retirement " was sure glad to get back to work. Anyway, Brill vid, some great innovations, thanks.
lovely little spot.... nice mods on that Lanshan 1 ... how did that 4 season liner work out for you? i used mine the other week on my new Tan Lanshan 2 (loving that stealth color) and i recorded a 20 F difference inside to outside .... 24 F outside and 46 F inside the tent which meant sleeping was great and i was also quite pleased an amazed that there wasnt too much condensation ... how did yours perform? I see you are approaching 1000 subs .... well done sir thats awesome... im creeping along to my 100th sub... still a lovely milestone though... i certainly dont know 100 people .... anyhoo i hope whatever was putting you in a bad frame of mine is resolved... take care out there and happy trails ATB Dave Mc
Thanks dave, lovely comments. I didn't register the temp difference but it was definitely warmer specially than the onetigris. No condensation whatsoever specially considering there was now wind at all. 🙏👍
You might feel you were not in the right place in this video, we all have off days. I think this was a great video and i very much enjoyed it. Thanks Mate
Cheers Mike, I had the same problem with my lanshan corners. Have just ordered a few tie locks. Can't beat those beans and sausages 👌. Appreciate you sharing you wisdom. All the best from rainy Ireland. Patrick
3FUL never did sell the t zip door. A company on ali express sell it but they get it from 3FUL. I know it sounds odd but it's certainly worth it. 3FUL said they were going to bring it out but nothing yet.
They probably would if you took the rubber feet off, problem is it I don't think they would stay on when moving the chair around as I found with tennis ball halves. I use the chair buddies which clip to the feet. Works fantastic and made here in uk. Around £20 on ebay 👍
@@NoviceWildCamper Yeah, I ordered the Lanshan 1 and it's too short for me. I have now ordered the Plus version from Aliexpress. Should have it in a month or so. Thanks for your time! And keep at the video's, Just keep it real and honest and you will do well. ;)
@cathheise if you search Google you can find tabs that you can connect inners to outers however it turns out they wont stick to sil nylon tents so I never got them in the end. If your any good at sewing you could maybe stitch a patch in to each layer then short bungee attaching them together and it would give you a bit more room. It all adds up 👍
I can sew, just wondering if I alter it whether I’ll need to seam seal that patch. if I find something simple (hand sew) that works I’ll let you know :) I’m thinking of a loop and toggle like the doors, again thanks
Great spot ,mate right next to the river how lovely.... Im glad you released this video it was a good one with some good tips and mods.. Oh i recieved my table thanks ill be using on camp this saturday ... Take care buddy
Excellent mods! I ordered this tent a couple of days ago and have been watching videos of reviews of this tent, you have by far the best pitch I've seen so far..
Thanks Arun. It takes a little getting used to but once you've pitched a couple of times becomes real easy. I've got a later vid out as well with more mods and tips if you want to check that out. 👍 th-cam.com/video/e7jTi7cWy3M/w-d-xo.html
Surely the lanshan uses 120cm walking pole but they assume you will push in 1inch of the pole into the grass up to the snow cup so that's why yours is too tight
It's not too tight, I just want max headroom. Also the recommended height is 125cm. As this is the larger version width ways it will also give a little more height. Obviously with a trekking pole you can adjust to suit you personally and lower subject to the weather so I would swap the carbon pole with the trekking pole then 👍
Hi. I took the link off as the guy on ebay has just disappeared. The mushroom pole top is from backpackinglight.co.uk or you could just use a rebar from a building site or off ebay 👍
I think lengthening the loop on the top bungie will lose you a bit of height in the inner, but considering your height and how little it's bothered you it must be tiny. Will help to keep the inner away from the fly above the guy out points, too. I'd do it if I didn't have the j zip inner. Only mods I've done to mine aren't really mods; just replaced the nylon cords in the bottom of the doors that attach to the hook with shock cord, and replaced the nylon cord on the inner at the back with shock cord.
Just got my lanshan 1 and tried a pitch. I noticed the same thing with the corners, gonna order some of those locks rn, thanks man! Also I'm curious if you had any issues with the front guy line that's used to stabilize the tent? Mine works ok, but the tightening system seems a little off, I had to pre adjust them before setting the peg, and then do my best to tighten it afterwards.
The front line isn't perfect. I think I'm going to change the set up a bit so that there is better air flow through the roof vent anyway. Will see how it goes and show in another vid if I get round to doing it first. Cheers for the comment 👍
Very clever mods there, especially undoing the shock cord at the apex 👍🏽 the pitch looks so much better. Definitely going to try these on my lanshan. Have you got a link for the carbon poles?
Hi. Thanks for the honest videos. I have the lanshan2 3season inner for some years now. I just ordered the 1p with 4 season inner. Planning a three-day hike above 1500m with temp around 0 celcious (+- 2). Any tips on that? Plus, how does the 4season inner perform in various weather conditions and in terms of condensation?
Ok. Well I've had it in almost every weather situation and not experienced any condensation apart from a tiny bit of damp pace but nothing that affected anything inside. I would recommend keeping the pole as high as possible (around 125cm) to ensure good ventilation under the fly and also pegging put all guy likes as far as possible to keep the fly away from the inner to help. If you experience extreme wind then lower it to drop the fly for protection and it that situation you'll get no condensation. As the wind will counteract that anyway. Make sure you seam seal the guy out points as they can leak in the rain and ideally use the footprint as it helps with everything from wetting it up right to protection. Check my later video for other mods I've done to improve the tent and you won't go wrong. 👍
Hey Michael, it was great to see you out making a video. Nice little cosey place you found there, I can see why that is your favourite spot.the famous chocolate pudding ohh yeeaahh.just got myself another and this time I will film myself eating it lol. Tent is looking top notch, nice mods there, I like the idea stretching the inner back so it's not sagging over you. And thank you so much for the idea using the sit mat on the helinox chair zero, never thought of that myself. Will be doing that tonight, and extra protection from the moosterman ohh yeeaahh ha ha. Awesome video pal. Get yourself up to Wales soon, as long as its not a bloody Saturday lol. Catch you later Mr novice man 🤟🤟🤟😎🍻
Cheers buddy. Was only my second go I think. The footprint really helps to get the layout sorted initially then the rest falls into place easier after. 👍
It's a game changer when setting the tent out particularly on the 1 person version as its easy to not get the angles quite right. Every time now I put the footprint down, set the tent up and it's pitch perfect. 👍

Hi... Just researching these tents. What version do yoy have here.... 3 or 4 season? It looks like yoy have a full inner skin but the skirts of a 3 season.
There is no skirts on either. The only difference between 3 and 4 season is the inner. I have the 4 season on this but have the 3 season on order. Its. It a true four season with skirts etc. Like other more hard-core manufacturers. I wouldn't pitch this on top of a mountain in winter for example 👍
Hi Mike, found your channel whilst researching the Lanshan. I have just received my Lanshan 2 Pro and also have the same issue with the bath tub corners slipping. I had considered swapping the demena rope for bungee cord but have decided to try the line locks like you. Thanks for sharing. Subbed
Nothing wrong with this video at all. you worry too much bro ! I think this was the same night I was on Sourton Tor. Damn cold up there it was. Always love yout tips and mods use quite a few of them myself.
Thanks Mark. Much appreciated 🙏 I think we always criticise ourselves more than necessary but was defo not in the right mood. Still worth going though and can't wait for the next one atb 👍
Great to see you back Michael. It’s a lovely spot (is it the same spot where you nearly got flooded out?). Those pole mushroom’s are great 👍. See you on the next one xx
Hi Mike, do you have any info on the little tabs you can glue to the inner and then inside of the outer to further tension the inner, I'm finding mine is sagging quite a bit at both head and foot ends of the tent. Thanks Joe
Hi Joe. I enquired and apparently you can't attach them to silnylon as I was thinking about the same. The only thing I have found is when pitched perfectly and using my trekking poles on each end to raise the angle of the guy line pull, it seems to be fine then. It was only the first one or two times I felt it needed it but not any more. There's nothing to say you couldn't attach something similar to what is already there and just use silicon to glue it as it will probably work as there shouldn't be too much tension against it if only to hold the inner closer. Careful of condensation getting on your inner though if too close. Cheers Joe 👍
I've only used mine once for 3 nights, but I found getting the 3 guys that are attached to the fly pegged out as far away as you possibly can makes a fair amount of difference as well.
@@shabingly thanks, yes agree that makes a big difference, on a nice flat pitch it's not so bad, but wild camping it's hard to find a very flat pitch with even ground. I think an additional two attachments from the inner to outer on 2 of the inside panels would greatly improve the tension of the inner. So far i've found a bit of a hack by stuffing some of my bags into some of the corners... this pushes the inner away from my head and feet, though it cn sometimes cause the inner to touch the outer... Not ideal... I'm going to see if i can rig up something when it gets warmer next year.
I have found that when using the trekking poles at the head and foot end it helps a lot with not only inner space but also tensioning the inner with the outer being so taught and pulled up. As said, the rear I extend as far as possible for the greatest angle then tighten and it seems to work well 👍
Hi Michael. Looking at ordering this tent with the Tzip... Seem a review which mentions their zips don't close all the way. Even if forced the horizontal zips open up themselves. Have you found this an issue on yours? My immediate thoughts are that the reviewer was using too long of a rod and therefore putting too much pressure on the door zip.
Hi. You are correct. I had the pole too tight when I first did it in my opening review video what I actually did was to loosen the bungee at the top that hold the inner to the fly so that I could keep the height at 125cm as I wanted as much space as possible. Since then I've had not issues with the zips. Basically if you have it less that 125cm high it should be fine if not undo the double knot bungee into a single not letting it expand then you'll be fine. 👍
@@NoviceWildCamper thanks for responding Michael. I hadn't seen your other video but just watched it now. I saw the issue on an AliExpress review. Glad to hear you sorted it though. I'm looking forward to getting a tent which weighs less than my 3.2kg monster haha.
🤣 yeah that's a tad heavy. It's a great tent specially now they've made it a but bigger. I've just took delivery of the the T door summer inner too so hoping to get that out if the weather ever gets better 🤣 atb 👍
@@NoviceWildCamper I'm tempted to order the 3 and 4 season t doors, see if I can get myself a bit of a deal with the seller. I'm torn between the two and will probably end up wanting whichever one I don't buy haha. How do you like the footprint? Is it a decent quality worth the extra cost? I hear you on the weather... The sun is a rare sight at the moment isn't it? 🌧️
Defo get the footprint. I've found jts so much easier to set the tent out properly as it lays the pegs out correctly plus you can put the footprint down and move it till you get it in the right place before putting the tent up. Bit like the advantage of a free standing tent where you can move it round to get it just right.
Hi, well done for posting \ filming when not in right mind set. Enjoyed film. Could I trouble you for a link and size to the boil silver bags please, as have been looking to get some but so many to choose from, don't want get wrong ones. Thank you and keep posting.

I've been looking for a light chair - thanks for the suggestions and the inadvertent pointer towards the Hellinox web site. Great spot from the look of it :)
Cheers. It's a great chair and although expensive it's the lightest and smallest packsize on the market. Chair buddies and the foam pad make it even better 👍
Hi Mike, nice video again. Looks like a perfect pitch, with more room inside. I'm just thinking about buying a Lanshan 1 plus, too but with the 3-season inner. I'm 1,90 m tall and my sleeping pad is close to 10 cm thick. From your experience (and with the new tight pitch), do you think there'll be enough room inside? Don't want to touch the inner with my head and sleeping bag all the time. Keep up the good work. Cheers from Germany Eike
Should be just OK. I'm working on a mod to pull the inner closer to the outer for even more space but that will be for another video. Thanks for watching 🙏👍
Depends on the temperature. I tend to freeze stuff yo take with me and let it thaw for the next day or boild while frozen. Cant see it being any different to leaving it in a tin to be honest. 👍
@@NoviceWildCamper Thanks Mike. I bought some and put chilli in them. I was a bit unsure of whether they need to be vacuum sealed to keep or treated in some way. I froze them and will take them out when I go next. Btw that spot look really nice. A good place to clear your head and think. ATB David

It was frogman guy on ebay but he no longer makes them. If you have a Google or check ali express you'll find similar just do make sure you get 16mm 👍
@@NoviceWildCamper Cheers. Thanks a lot!
I’ve always thought you had to sleep with head at other end. Does it make a difference? Use mine in all seasons love it
Both ends are the same. Why would you have to sleep a certain way?

I contacted UF/lanshan and they said they don't do the T-door now.
3FUL never did sell the t zip door. A company on ali express sell it but they get it from 3FUL. I know it sounds odd but it's certainly worth it. 3FUL said they were going to bring it out but nothing yet.

So, does the Plus give you enough room? You look tall on film, but I'm not sure. I'm 6'2".
Hi. I'm 6'4 and fit in. You'll be fine but need to use poles at the end to extend the length like I have. It just gives that extra couple of inches.
@@NoviceWildCamper Yeah, I ordered the Lanshan 1 and it's too short for me. I have now ordered the Plus version from Aliexpress. Should have it in a month or so. Thanks for your time! And keep at the video's, Just keep it real and honest and you will do well. ;)
Cheers buddy 👍
love your creativity and the way you upgrade your gear to suit your needs keep using the brain cells pity some manufacturers dont have you on board
Ah thanks Tony. Much appreciated 🙏 👍
Where did you get the ground sheet please? Is it a “plus” size, matching the longer tent?
Hi Peter, I ordered it with the tent so it's the same size as the inner. 👍
I especially appreciated getting a good look at the 4-season inner tent. Good mods too. Thanks.
Thanks buddy. 👍
This is lanshan 1pro, not plus.
Hi. The pro is a single skin and this is double skin lage version. I believe you sell them and other tents? Maybe we could work together? 👍
have you got a link to the pole
Responded in your other comment 👍
We need to camp here 👍
Went there with Ash. Awesome spot but think it's outside the allowed camping spot now.
Thanks so much, your trek pole head room idea made a big difference to my enjoyment of my Lanshan 1❤

Do you know if you can zip up the outer tent from the inside? Heard its only a 1 way zip
You can zip from inside or out. It is one way in that you cannot zip the top open with the bottom closed

It's a game changer when setting the tent out particularly on the 1 person version as its easy to not get the angles quite right. Every time now I put the footprint down, set the tent up and it's pitch perfect. 👍

merci beaucoup
Great video Mike nice to see you out again 💪💪👍🏴
Cheers buddy. It was a bit surreal but looking forward more to the next one 🙏👍
@@NoviceWildCamper nice 1 did my 1st ever wild camp couple of weeks ago up at Cadair Idris 💪💪👍🏴
@@wozwandering4255 awesome place for first time. Did you enjoy it?
@@NoviceWildCamper yes Mike had a fantastic experience had a belting sunrise 💪💪👍🏴
I watch it in a bit. At work at the mo
Wait till you need to go to sleep 🤣
@@NoviceWildCamperthat's what I'm doing. You figured it out 😂😂
Good vid and great mods on the lanshan matey, think I'll get me some of those foil bags 👍atb Paul 🙏🏕️🏕️🏕️😁
Cheers Paul. Defo cheaper than branded boil bags, tastes better too 👍🙏
Hi... Just researching these tents. What version do yoy have here.... 3 or 4 season? It looks like yoy have a full inner skin but the skirts of a 3 season.
There is no skirts on either. The only difference between 3 and 4 season is the inner. I have the 4 season on this but have the 3 season on order. Its. It a true four season with skirts etc. Like other more hard-core manufacturers. I wouldn't pitch this on top of a mountain in winter for example 👍
Hi Mike, found your channel whilst researching the Lanshan. I have just received my Lanshan 2 Pro and also have the same issue with the bath tub corners slipping. I had considered swapping the demena rope for bungee cord but have decided to try the line locks like you. Thanks for sharing. Subbed
Thanks Paul. They do work much better. Glad i could be of assistance 👍 atb.
Nothing wrong with this video at all. you worry too much bro ! I think this was the same night I was on Sourton Tor. Damn cold up there it was.
Always love yout tips and mods use quite a few of them myself.
Thanks Mark. Much appreciated 🙏 I think we always criticise ourselves more than necessary but was defo not in the right mood. Still worth going though and can't wait for the next one atb 👍
Great to see you back Michael. It’s a lovely spot (is it the same spot where you nearly got flooded out?). Those pole mushroom’s are great 👍. See you on the next one xx
Thanks Julia. No that was on my neighbours farm. This was dartmoor near South Brent. Thanks for watching 👍🙏

Hi Mike, do you have any info on the little tabs you can glue to the inner and then inside of the outer to further tension the inner, I'm finding mine is sagging quite a bit at both head and foot ends of the tent. Thanks Joe
Hi Joe. I enquired and apparently you can't attach them to silnylon as I was thinking about the same. The only thing I have found is when pitched perfectly and using my trekking poles on each end to raise the angle of the guy line pull, it seems to be fine then. It was only the first one or two times I felt it needed it but not any more. There's nothing to say you couldn't attach something similar to what is already there and just use silicon to glue it as it will probably work as there shouldn't be too much tension against it if only to hold the inner closer. Careful of condensation getting on your inner though if too close. Cheers Joe 👍
I've only used mine once for 3 nights, but I found getting the 3 guys that are attached to the fly pegged out as far away as you possibly can makes a fair amount of difference as well.
@@shabingly thanks, yes agree that makes a big difference, on a nice flat pitch it's not so bad, but wild camping it's hard to find a very flat pitch with even ground. I think an additional two attachments from the inner to outer on 2 of the inside panels would greatly improve the tension of the inner. So far i've found a bit of a hack by stuffing some of my bags into some of the corners... this pushes the inner away from my head and feet, though it cn sometimes cause the inner to touch the outer... Not ideal... I'm going to see if i can rig up something when it gets warmer next year.
I have found that when using the trekking poles at the head and foot end it helps a lot with not only inner space but also tensioning the inner with the outer being so taught and pulled up. As said, the rear I extend as far as possible for the greatest angle then tighten and it seems to work well 👍
Hi Mike, which seller did you get the carbon pole from on Ebay. I can not find any on ebay. Thanks, Dave.
Hi Michael. Looking at ordering this tent with the Tzip... Seem a review which mentions their zips don't close all the way. Even if forced the horizontal zips open up themselves. Have you found this an issue on yours? My immediate thoughts are that the reviewer was using too long of a rod and therefore putting too much pressure on the door zip.
Hi. You are correct. I had the pole too tight when I first did it in my opening review video what I actually did was to loosen the bungee at the top that hold the inner to the fly so that I could keep the height at 125cm as I wanted as much space as possible. Since then I've had not issues with the zips. Basically if you have it less that 125cm high it should be fine if not undo the double knot bungee into a single not letting it expand then you'll be fine. 👍
@@NoviceWildCamper thanks for responding Michael. I hadn't seen your other video but just watched it now. I saw the issue on an AliExpress review. Glad to hear you sorted it though. I'm looking forward to getting a tent which weighs less than my 3.2kg monster haha.
🤣 yeah that's a tad heavy. It's a great tent specially now they've made it a but bigger. I've just took delivery of the the T door summer inner too so hoping to get that out if the weather ever gets better 🤣 atb 👍
@@NoviceWildCamper I'm tempted to order the 3 and 4 season t doors, see if I can get myself a bit of a deal with the seller. I'm torn between the two and will probably end up wanting whichever one I don't buy haha.
How do you like the footprint? Is it a decent quality worth the extra cost?
I hear you on the weather... The sun is a rare sight at the moment isn't it? 🌧️
Defo get the footprint. I've found jts so much easier to set the tent out properly as it lays the pegs out correctly plus you can put the footprint down and move it till you get it in the right place before putting the tent up. Bit like the advantage of a free standing tent where you can move it round to get it just right.
Hi, well done for posting \ filming when not in right mind set. Enjoyed film. Could I trouble you for a link and size to the boil silver bags please, as have been looking to get some but so many to choose from, don't want get wrong ones. Thank you and keep posting.
No problem.

Thank you, ordered, was not sure of size so plumped for 2nd smallest, see what comes.
I've been looking for a light chair - thanks for the suggestions and the inadvertent pointer towards the Hellinox web site. Great spot from the look of it :)
Cheers. It's a great chair and although expensive it's the lightest and smallest packsize on the market. Chair buddies and the foam pad make it even better 👍
Hi Mike, nice video again.
Looks like a perfect pitch, with more room inside. I'm just thinking about buying a Lanshan 1 plus, too but with the 3-season inner. I'm 1,90 m tall and my sleeping pad is close to 10 cm thick. From your experience (and with the new tight pitch), do you think there'll be enough room inside? Don't want to touch the inner with my head and sleeping bag all the time.
Keep up the good work.
Cheers from Germany
Eike
Should be just OK. I'm working on a mod to pull the inner closer to the outer for even more space but that will be for another video. Thanks for watching 🙏👍
@@NoviceWildCamper Thanks! 👍🏻
Next trip out I'll bring out the Branstons. Cheers for the tip dude
No probs buddy. Cheap and much better than "real" camping pouches. 😂👍
"I'm treating myself" and saving the company money 😂 the best
😂 I save them a fortune in hotel bills 🤣👍
Great little vid, and some great tips there, I'm going look into the bath tub tie out tensioners 👍👍
Cheers buddy. Its odd why they changed them as the original ones were fine with bungies but the string they use is rubbish without tensioners 👍
Nice idea with the poles for more space, will have to try this one, cheers.
Works perfect for me. Without them I'd touch both ends and for the sake of a few grams for the carbon pole it works great 👍
Hi Mike, good review of the Lanshan. Thinking of getting one. For those foil bags off eBay, will food keep in them for more than a day?
Depends on the temperature. I tend to freeze stuff yo take with me and let it thaw for the next day or boild while frozen. Cant see it being any different to leaving it in a tin to be honest. 👍
@@NoviceWildCamper Thanks Mike. I bought some and put chilli in them. I was a bit unsure of whether they need to be vacuum sealed to keep or treated in some way. I froze them and will take them out when I go next. Btw that spot look really nice. A good place to clear your head and think. ATB David
Cheers David. It is the perfect spot for that 🙏👍
That's a gorgeous spot for camping. Cheers!
Thanks Michael, it's not the best for views but my favourite for chilled out feeling and stunning surroundings.
Beautiful spot there Mike👌
Cheers taff. Definitely my most favourite for for relaxing camp to date. 👍
Nice used bungiies on corners on mine
I was deciding whether to use bungy or cord but they both work well 👍
Hi Mike. great review. have you a link where i can get the pole from in 16mm as i need something stronger too. cheers

125cm. But I wanted it at the maximum height so i could sit up. You could go lower so its nearer the ground if you prefer. 👍
