Nice review there mate 👍 so easy to setup very good for a beginner. It’s a clone of the Big Agnes Copper Spur , the reason Naturehike seam tape the inside is because it’s Silicone coated outside PU inside which can be taped , Lanshan Pro is Silicone coated inside and outside so can’t be taped on the inside . The rainbow door has been changed so you can open the top part of the door for ventilation, I’ve asked them about changing the CP2 but not happening. Glad you can fit in it !!!
Cheers col. Couple of mods to do but I'm liking it. Just a shame about the colour. Yeah I found out about the silicon coating. Makes you wonder why if they don't do it on the standard lanshan 🤷🏼♂️
It's a great tent. I just got one on Sunday delivered by amazon for £103. .looking forward to using it soon in peak district. First time wild camping never done it before...great review buddy and tent 👍
The Lanshan pro is silicone coated on both sides whereas the none pro version is only silicone coated on the outside. That's why they can tape the seams on the none pro version 👍
@@NoviceWildCamper The none pro is PU coated on the inside fly which means the seam tape will make a good seal. The pro is silicone coated on the inside fly which makes it impossible for seam tape to stick. That's why you need the specific sealant to seal it . Many people buy the liquid sealant that will seal PU coatings and the same thing happens even though it's liquid when it drys it just drops off like seam seal tape would! You need specific silicone seal to do it and for it to work. White spirit and clear bathroom silicone I found the best mixed up to form the correct viscosity to apply and push into the seams. The reason that double sided silicone coating is better as with PU coatings they degrade over time and become mushy and milky and chalky and loose all the waterproofing capabilities and can't be resealed. The silicone can be rejuvenated with some silicone liquid like Fabsil gold and it will take well and seal again easily. I'm your height exactly and feel your tent pain! I just bought a outer pitch tent from China and it's ideal in every way apart from the slightly curved in ends makes the usable length a problem for me hitting my head and feet 😔. How do you get on with the Lanshans I love them but I have found them to be feet and face touches and the Pro version that's a pain as you are getting wet condensate fabric in your mush all night !
Great review Ben, I’ve got this tent in the grey, but really wish they did a brown colour to blend in more. You may have already spotted it, but there’s a big triangle pocket in one of the top corners which is very useful to get stuff off the ground if you need to keep it dry. Strangely I have the same issue with one of my zips that is very tough to open. I don’t think they are YKK, but will try some WD40 on it to see if it helps. Great idea with the moving of the guy point to vestibule. ATB, Jason
Cheers Jason (I'm Michael by the way) i did spot that after the review tbh, not sure about wd40 as its so oily. I'm gonna run some wax down it and see how it goes. 👍
@@NoviceWildCamper ah apologies Michael, not sure where I got Ben from haha. Good shout with the wax, I’ll see what I’ve got lying around in the garage and give it a crack.

Great video… loads of good info, and at a nice pace. Not rushed like a mental outburst of specs… and your opinions are clearly based on your own experience and thoughts (so many people are obviously just reworded what other people have said)… I’m 6ft on the dot and have a cloud peak 2 (original doors) which is great but want something a ‘little’ lighter and quicker to pitch. This looks ideal. I’m not convinced the cloud up 2 is long enough. Never seen anybody over 5,8 review it… you don’t happen to own one?
Thanks Chris. Much appreciated. The only person I know who's reviews a cloud up 2 is Summit or nothing but I'm not sure how tall he is. It's only 210cm internal length and the end is very angled so it might be a bit tight for you. The other issue is the vestibule. I don't like front entry ones as to cook in it in bad weather you'll get soaked as you can't partially open it plus in my personal experience, when you open it after it's bee raining the door fall inside and you and your gear gets soaked. Just my personal though though as I'm sure some people love them 👍
@@NoviceWildCamper I still love my cloud peak 2 (original doors) and struggling to justify getting the star river. I still believe the CP2 ticks more boxes overall, but it would be a small weight saving. I really like it… I just don’t need it haha
There's numerous tents that are this shape and design the deal breaker for me is the inner 1st pitching I've got the kuiu mountain star it's a pitch in 1 with the poles outside and there's 2 cross over poles with a spreader bar so pretty similar I think at the end of the day it comes down to quality of materials and how it's manufactured.i did a few tweaks like you I added extra guys to the vestibules as there very big and the guys really gives them extra support I also had to add extra velcro on the doors as in high winds the gaps between the standard velcro would oscoilate like mad making a lot of noise.its also a 2p and I love the space and it's under 2kg downside it's from America and was expensive.but if you're on a budget the naturehike is a good choice.
I was quite impressed that thus has 3 velcro points on the doors. First one I've come across like that. Sounds like a good tent you got, you can pitch this outer first using the groundsheet which is the main reason why I wouod entertain it. Good tent for the price. 👍
Smashing review. Very thorough and detailed. Shame about the colour as you say, it’d be a winner in Lanshan brown. Disappointing that length isn’t as advertised, nice tall ends though and good weight all considered. Hope you’ve recovered from the sit-up! 😆 nice one
😂 cheers Chris. Stomach muscles are still hurting a bit 🤣 yeah be awesome in khaki that's for sure. Shame they don't do the same dark olive colour they do in the 210T version. Atb 👍
Hi. First of all, I would like to apologize for my English, I use Google translator ;) I have a question about the bags you use to store the inner bedroom and the outer flysheet. These are 2 liter waterproof bags. If you squeeze bedrooms and a flysheet into them, does it affect the durability of these components? Or does it not matter if you fold it nicely into cubes and roll it up and put it in a large original bag? Will the durability of the tent be the same??
It won't affect the durability of the material. Folding a tent and storing it the same every time is more likely to cause damage as you would be constantly folding along the same lines. Compression sacks are great for reducing pack size but when I store them i loosen them off so it's not so compressed. 👍
@@NoviceWildCamper Thank you for the quick reply. I think I'll check my tent in the field tomorrow, I received it today and quickly set it up at home. It turned out that it was 205 cm inside. And after stretching it is 212 (looking at you, there seems to be a lot of space behind the head and feet). I am also 192 cm tall and in my tent I have the impression that it is too short (I was only lying on a 195x64x7cm mat, without a sleeping bag and no pillow). Maybe it's a matter of tightening all the fasteners. I hope it's not a defect of the tent and it won't be smaller than yours by a few centimeters ;) I really like your way of storing it. I'll have to try it out. It's easier to hide two two-liter bags and frames than one large original bag. This original bag is terribly large and not very compressed.
I simply have too many so needed to trim down. I now use durston x mid 1 or my Lanshan 1 plus for ultralight, and my fjallraven abisko shape 2 for winter. I also have a super cheap Regatta montegra 2 which us a great tent for all weather and i love it cos its just so cheap and spacious. 👍
3FUL don't sell them. They make them but for another company who sell them under the same name 3FUL. Mad 🤷🏼♂️ the only place you can get them is on ali express. Just search t door lanshan and you'll find them. They were out of stock last time I looked though.
Thank you very much for your review. I'm looking for this tent. Do they have the one with snow skirt? Is it the same material with the tent in the clip? I'm thinking which one should I pick?
It is the same 20D fabric but with skirt. If you contact them they wil let you know if they can supply as although they show it on their site there's no option to purchase so maybe out of stock. If you contact me on fb/messenger I can speak to my contact there directly and fund out? Will you be camping in the snow? The inner is not really for super cold winter though.
Do you think this tent can be nice for late autumn-early winter under 1000m? I live in Italy and I'm searching for a versatile tent to use in all seasons with minimum 7 - 10ºC it can be good or there is too much mesh?
Real nice review that made me want it I've seen many others just seemed a different tent when they did it I have the cloud up 2 basically the same without the spreader bar and prob smaller l, I love my naturehike cloud up 2 except it's not side entry this what been looking for think I may go for this, they do a spider 2 aswel but that's full mesh inner so no good for uk really, might even get my 7 year old son in there with me
Thanks Brad. Yes I'm not a fan of.front entry tents, wide side doors are much better and more natural than reversing in or trying to turn around. Thanks for watching. 👍
Maybe one day they will make an air pad for side entry tent. With air in valve at the door in the middle, so two people can set up their pads at the same time easier. I don't even have this problem 😅 just something that is missing at the moment, I think.
It's longer for sure. I cannot fit in the taiji without sleeping at an angle but I was straight head to toe in the star river. Its also lighter. I think its down to weather you want an all in one pitch or more space and lighter. Mongar is heavier unless you get the 15d. It's tough as they are all so similar. For looks and best colour it's certainly the taiji.
It's as much a 2 person as any other as it has 2 vestibules for both people's gear and for individual exit points for each camper so better than other 2p tents with only 1 door so you're not clambering over the other person to get out and have nowhere to put the second person's gear. If you really want space for 2p then generally id say go with a 3p tents and split the weight but if your happy being cosy then this is spot on 👍
Hi, thanks you the review. I hesitate to buy this one, or the Taiji 2. I want to use it for sleeping with my girlfriend. And i'm 2m02 tall. Which tent can you advice for the bigger space ? Do you know anthoer tent in the same style that can fit to me?
Hi. You'd really struggle to find this style of tent to fit you. The star river is bigger but will be tight. What is it about the style you like, what's your ideal tent? There is another I have that will fit you easy. 👍
@@NoviceWildCamper ohh thanks for the answer, I'm very interested. For me alone, I've bought the Lanshan 1. But when I'm with my girlfriend, I search a tent that can replace my camp minima 2sl (very tight for two people). I was first thinking to buy a Lanshan 2 but it's not wide enough. After that, I was think about the decathlon tarp tente mt900 that I similar to a Lanshan expect that is wider but too low. Finally, I thought to buy a tent like the star river and many other, with aluminium sticks. What I want is that the tent is wide enough for us, so minimum 130 cm wide. I also want a minimum of 110 cm height to be sat. Finally, I didn't know about the length because what's the constructor says aren't always very true in reality. I'm used to touch a bit but I want a tent where I can fit in properly. So I think minimum 115 cm length. To finish, I want 2 doors on the side and not too heavy (max 2.5kg). For a limited price of possible. For the moment, just the star river 2 and maybe the big Agnes blacktrail2 seems to fit my needs. I also thought to buy a 3 people tent but they are heavier and also very large to fit in the bag
@@NoviceWildCamper If you need further explanation: 210T represents 210 braided threads per square inch. In general, weight, volume, and water resistance are disadvantages of 210T fabrics compared to 20D nylon, but the price and maintenance costs are lower.
@@NoviceWildCamper This tent, the Taiji 2 and Naturehike's Mongar 2 are on my shopping list right now, wondering which one to chose. The Mongar is about 205-210cm it seems when stretched out. Which is your favourite so far?
This is nowhere the best tent ever made as you claim. The oex phoxx 2 is so much better. Plus it packs down light so you can take a ultralight fishing rod and tackle box.. 😂😂😂 jokes.. great video.. never fancied the star river if honest.. not a fan of inner pitch first
The phoxx 2 is the best tent in the world tbh. 🤣 ah, but you don't have to pitch inner first. If you put the footprint down you can pitch the outer first then set up inside in the dry 👌👍
The phoxx 2 is the best tent in the world tbh. 🤣 ah, but you don't have to pitch inner first. If you put the footprint down you can pitch the outer first then set up inside in the dry 👌👍
Not really. It packs smaller when separated so outer first or inner first doesn't really matter but all in. Pme would be good but then a bigger single pack size.
Very clearly spoken and honest review. Well done.

Just brought this in the same colour! Your videos been very helpful with the set-up thankyou

@mrmods7912 yeah. Shape 2.
Is it transparent ?
Is what transparent?
@@NoviceWildCampersorry for my bad english 😂 Is it possible to see the things from outside of the tent?
To see through the tent from outside? No.
@@NoviceWildCamper thank you so much for quick respond.
No problem 👌👍
If you measure it like a monitor, you have a bigger tent.
What do you mean like a monitor?
@@NoviceWildCamper measures diagonal
True but I was testing the length. I've slept in my taiji 2 diagonal as that's too short too.
210t is polyester fiber material
Ok
@@NoviceWildCamper
If you need further explanation:
210T represents 210 braided threads per square inch. In general, weight, volume, and water resistance are disadvantages of 210T fabrics compared to 20D nylon, but the price and maintenance costs are lower.
@@NoviceWildCamper Please forgive me for not being good at English, but I like your videos very much. Your explanation of equipment is very useful.
@@user-wheniseeyouagain94 thank you
How tall are you, mate? :)
😂 not very
@@NoviceWildCamper I'm 6'4 which means, I guess, this tent is a bit short? 😄
It's fine once guyed out properly. I just fit at 6'4 👍
@@NoviceWildCamper This tent, the Taiji 2 and Naturehike's Mongar 2 are on my shopping list right now, wondering which one to chose. The Mongar is about 205-210cm it seems when stretched out. Which is your favourite so far?
@@bidufree taiji is my favourite for looks and erecting but there's a bit more space in the star river. Overall I'd go for the taiji 2. 👍
This is nowhere the best tent ever made as you claim. The oex phoxx 2 is so much better. Plus it packs down light so you can take a ultralight fishing rod and tackle box.. 😂😂😂 jokes.. great video.. never fancied the star river if honest.. not a fan of inner pitch first
The phoxx 2 is the best tent in the world tbh. 🤣 ah, but you don't have to pitch inner first. If you put the footprint down you can pitch the outer first then set up inside in the dry 👌👍

Maybe I'll do a follow up version outer pitch first 👍
@@NoviceWildCamper yeah but that’s a faff..
Not really. It packs smaller when separated so outer first or inner first doesn't really matter but all in. Pme would be good but then a bigger single pack size.
