No concept of what 8 hours of straight through sleep feels like.Egg and potatoes looked wonderful!Such a peaceful exsistence.Just wonderful.I pray for all of us together to be able to do this !
A two layer tent is a must in my book. Condensation can be just as bad as leaking on some trips. Plus it helps keep you warmer on those chilly nights. I happily will carry a little extra weight for better comfort, sleep, and less stress.
Thank you :) Oooh, was it? I've been listening to Munjac for years and have never heard one sound like this.. a baby maybe? Hope you have a lovely weekend 🌿Claire🐻
I’m so happy you’ve found a tent with vestibules which help when the weather doesn’t cooperate, and the good benefit of lesser condensation. Camping on your treks really helps me realize the points I’m looking for on my weekenders. Thanks, Claire. Always a pleasure.
Hi Claire, my wife and I backpacked the Northumberland coastal path using the Lanshan 2. I can confirm it is absolutely superb and once pitched correctly (we used sand pegs), it was rock solid with loads of room for two of us. Had loads of rain and wind the first night the tent brushed it off with impunity. Overall great value shelter, totally concur with your review Another cracking vid, keep up the great work.
That be the call of a Little Owl… I did a falconry day a couple of years back and held the Little Owl amongst others - who was perched on my glove. Sweet little things they are🦉
Hello Claire: Good to see you again! I love that tent, it seems to be very well designed. Looking forward to seeing how it holds up to some heavy weather. That loud shriek/squeak was a pterodactyl, I'm certain of it.🤔 Take care young lady, and stay safe!
Hi Stephen :) Ahh yes, pterodactyl, of course!! 😄 Mm I'm interested to see how it does in some mad weather.. a lot better than the Pro1 hopefully haha! Thanks so much, you too 🤗🌿🐻
“Think I might be in love.” Yeah, know the feeling. 🙄 Been from one end of TH-cam to the other. Probably 75 channels sub’d at any given time. None of it has ever given my soul the peaceful, easy feeling I get from yours. The wildest, most beautiful landscapes, adventures and personal challenges, fears and difficulties soundly put to bed, and describing and appreciating the magic of it all in your calm, soft, lilting voice. It simply doesn’t get any better. Stay safe, stay wild, and carry on. 🥰
New sub here. I really like your enthusiasm in hiking and laying down for night. Many of the videos I see of other campers have huge tents, many times even have wood burning heating and bring everything but the kitchen sink to make meals. I love how simple you keep it but yet you make look delicious and filling. Maybe lamb will be in my future 🤤. Also I admire your warm words about Steve and his “beautiful wife”. I have seen his channel several times and how he talked of his beautiful wife. Even though we never saw her we felt like we knew her. My heart too went out to him and his wife. I am looking forward to a lot more of your adventures.
Hi Tim! Welcome to my lil channel :) the lamb was sooo good, it should deffo be in your future 😍 Thank you so much for your kind words, means a lot :) yes we're all so sad for Steve, can't believe it. I hope he will be ok in time. Hope you're having a lovely weekend 🌿Claire 🐻
Feeling comfortable and safe in a reliable shelter with the added benefit of saving weight is a win win! May I say your pitch looks lovely. Gear love.....it's what we do.
I love mine too. It's stood up to a strong coastal wind when very inexpertly pitched on sandy soil, and lots of Scottish rain! Great video, food, and the wild life and their high jinks! 🙂This is my favourite camping channel, I've started to notice a craving for the next video to appear!
Hi Norah 👋 ahh yay, this is good to know :D thank you so much, so kind of you to say and I'm so glad you like my lil vids 🥰 Hope you're having a lovely week! Claire 🐻
This is absolutely one of the most peaceful, relaxing, and soothing videos I have seen. Your creativity and spirit is so moving and touching for many of us. I find such inspiration in this because for a few years already I have struggled with my mental health and really slowly I am getting back to things that I used to be able to do with ease. You inspire me a lot and I want to thank you for it. Sending love and wishing you the best on your journey :)
Hi 🤗 this is so kind of you to say, I'm sorry to hear you've been struggling, but so glad to hear that you're moving forward a bit. Slow and steady, I'm sure you'll get there 💚🌿 Thank you so much for sharing this with me and hope you have a lovely week :) Claire 🐻
Hi Claire, don't know if anyone has mentioned your mystery call (so many comments) but I would say it was a little owl (athene noctua) they can be seen in the day too so it might be worth keeping an eye out for the little fella if you're down that way again. Thanks for the video, keep up the good work. :)
Hi Claire lovely tent! It looked great. Loved seeing the beautiful doe and her bambi, such a lovely setting. Looking forward to see how the tent copes in snowdonia! Take care and have a fab bank holiday weekend! Helen & Andy Hogan 🌲🌲💕💕xxxx
Hi Helen & Andy! Ahh they're adorable aren't they 😍 I squealed a lil bit when I saw the footage haha. Hope you guys have a wonderful long weekend too ☺️ much love 🌿🐻
I have the single-skin version of this and I really like it. One tip I picked up from someone else on youtube is that in strong wind it's best to pitch with one of the doors facing into the wind, rather than end-on like you would think to do. I did this on a windy night on a peak and it was loud but everything held up fine (with delta pegs on the guys). It helps too to drop the pole slightly on the windward side to close the gap.
The new tent looks like a winner. I’ve been having good luck with the Zpacks Free Trio - a roomy three person 982 gram tent with external skeleton that locks the dyneema into a tight shell. Once locked into position it’s bombproof. After a stormy night I just pick it up and give it a shake and all the water flys away. No more soggy wet rain fly for me.
In 1980 ish I had a Vango mk365 mw (for microweight). Sold as a "transverse ridge". About 7'x4' with two huge (we called them porches then) . Two poles and a ridge pole.. Got to Cornwall on the train and found inexplicable left one pole behind . Made an emergency one from most of the ridge pole , and a skewer peg through the flysheet grommet! Down to earth 4 season fly but velcro fold up flaps for ventilation when dry Fabulous tent
Thanks for another truly pleasant video. I've heard mixed things about these tents; most notably that they'll sag and stretch when wet which can cause issues. They still have my attention though, and perhaps as they evolve I'll snap one up. Another thing I really appreciate is your general disposition with your gear. While I'm sure you have a couple of sponsors and that I'm equally sure you like the higher-dollar stuff as much as anyone else, there's a certain theme I've noticed and I find it more than a little endearing: You treat camping much the same as a child might treat sleeping in a couch-fort tent in the living room. You seem to bring that childlike wonder into the wild with you. Lanterns, good food that isn't 'trail specific', an appreciation of a little extra weight for the things that are hallmarks of being in the outdoors to create a total experience. It'd be more fun if we did more of that, I think, rather than consuming ourselves with shaving ounces, hunting for the end-all-be-all bit of gear, or choking down the highest calorie-to-weight freeze dried foodstuffs. I can see a hundred reviews of the latest $600 tents that weigh a pound or less, and they're all the same sort of thing; a sterile dissection of minutia that simply gets lost in the noise of the outdoor experience. I truly love the way you weave your overall experiences and gear together. Quite frankly, that's something the Dan Beckers of the world could learn.
Hi Claire. Tis Irish Bob here. Enjoyed the review and that you had good results this trip. The real test for new gear is of course; the weather. Perhaps bring a light DDS tarp if things seem dodgy. Nice wee visitors from trail cam footage. So glad you fully enjoy and are respectful of nature. Awesome my dear, just awesome. Stay🏋️, Stay🩺, Stay True, and Stay Real. Looks like subscriber numbers are going up as well. Kudos to you Wee Missy. Big love from Irish Bob😇😎🍀
I take two eggs for breakfast in a small bottle with a flatbread. ½ cook omelette and then drop the flatbread in on top before flipping over and adding grated cheese and chopped onion etc. sometimes a couple of rashers of bacon as well. A good start to the day and the pan wipes clean with a sheet of kitchen towel. A piece of tin foil makes a pan lid as can a foil baking tray.
Hi Claire , I like your new tent and I really liked your breakfast. This tent is going to be a great tent for your adventures. Thank you so much for sharing. Enjoy your day and looking forward to seeing your next adventure. Stay safe and enjoy your beautiful countryside
I just got this tent this season. For the money it’s well made and does not leak in heavy rains. Interior stayed bone dry over several days of rain. I got it so I could camp with my collie boy Finn. If he puts a hole in this one and not my more expensive tent I won’t cry.
The tent seemed like. Perfect fit for you Claire. A home from home and what’s 350 grams when you get all that extra room, which is a godsend for storing gear inside. And a wonderful video to boot. Thanks for sharing and take care.
Somehow you always seem to find all these lovely & scenic location. Spending quality time with Mother Nature is a blast to the heart & soul. Love your show & Love U.! That animalnoise could be a Yowie. Greetings from Australia.
Hi Claire, the mystery sound was a Sika deer (Cervus nippon) alarm call, probably made by a hind (female.) Most common in Dorset/ Hampshire areas in southern England.
Your content is amazing! Your easy on the eyes and your voice is soothing! All compliments not To be taken wrong. Keep up the great work! I'm addicted to put it mildly!
Lovely video again Claire, they’re so soothing to watch. You have a great persona about you. Don’t think I could sleep without the tent openings closed. 😊⛺️🌿🐻
Heyy, thank you so much :) I love to sleep with a door open if I can, like the fresh air coming in, but it's nice to be enclosed & cosy too. Hope you have a lovely weekend 🌿🐻
In strong wind, apparently the answer with the Pro 2 is to lower the walking poles down to 110cm or 105cm, rather than the recommended 120. That brings the outer down to the level of the grass, and stops the wind getting under it. I haven't had to do that yet with mine, it might effect the amount of condensation. Also helps if you don't point the doors towards the wind, that would mean one pole on one side taking most of the wind force. Brilliant film thank you for posting.
I’ve had my eye on this tent for a while. I think this is the best review video I’ve ever seen for any tent. Great job and I think I will be purchasing this tent now in the near future and can’t wait to use it on my next thru-hike. Also I love the nature shots they are awesome 👍🏼🌿🦋⛺️
heating and bring everything but the kitchen sink to make meals. I love how simple you keep it but yet you make look delicious and filling. Maybe lamb will be in my future . Als
Still processing Steve’s news, but I’m glad you have found a promising tent! I look forward to seeing where it will end up being pitched, trip after trip, and to hearing your evolving thoughts as you spend more nights in such sumptuous spaciousness!
Another brilliant vid! You really draw the viewer in as you are so natural and with the drone footage and great music, make it so interesting to watch! Love, love, love your vids! 😊 No sausage?!! 😵💫
I really like that tent. Its ideal...small to pack away, big when it's up, and being able to use the trekking poles. No idea what that high pitch squeal was! Dinner and breakfast looked great by the way. Nice one Claire 👍
Just discovered you! I think I've binged watched like 8 of your videos already. It's giving me some inspiration 😌 Thanks for sharing your adventures 🦝🦎🐞
Hi Claire. Lovely video as always. Think you will really like the Lanshan 2. Aleczander is right. You should just seam seal the stitching of the two tie out points on the side walls, as you may get some drips through there in heavy rain. Make sure you get the sealer for silnylon. I used Mcnett Silnet. Take care.
Good choice on the tent. Once again thanks for making me hungry. Lol. Keep up the fantastic adventures and awesome videos. Can't wait to see the next one. Stay smiling and stay that beautiful you. Tim
Hi, I've had the lanshan 2 for a few years now, and I love it It looked to me like you still had it pitched a bit too low to the ground. With a decent gap between the fly and the ground you get less condensation. If you look up tutorials for pitching the ZPacks Duplex and follow the same procedure because the lanshan 2 is basically a clone of that tent. I use a lanshan 1 inner under my lanshan 2 fly, that way I have one giant vestibule that I can bring my bike under when I'm bikepacking. Also, personally I did seam seal my lanshan 2, just to be on the safe side. Have a good one
Heyy, do you think? I just put it up with poles at 125 as recommended.. will have to have a look at the ZPacks tutorials. Using it for 2 nights in the Rhinogs, I was pitched in really long grass both nights so it didn't make any difference where the fly was, the long grass cut off all air movement and the condensation was terrible unless I had the door open all night. I want to see how it does in heavy rain without seam sealing it and will of course seal the seams if I have to, but I'm not going to if it doesn't need it. Looking forward to trying it in some bad weather to see :D Thanks for the advice, have a great week! Claire 🐻
I wondered what it would be like for that combo. I have the 2 with both inners. I never thought it could fit my touring bike. But the 2 is already tight for me with the 2p inners.
I can't wait to see you use this tent on future adventures. I have one and love it. I've been in heavy wind and rain and stayed dry. I don't use trecking poles so I ordered the 48" carbon fiber poles from Z Packs and they work great. Trying to get back into my hammock since I now hike with my dog. Just ordered the Pet Pallace bug net. Can't wait to try it out. Love following along and seeing all your new friends.❤❤
Many sincere condolences to Steve, on his tragic loss, i spent some time in the care of terminally ill people, sitting by their beds on night and day vigils often holding their hands as they passed, for family respite care, for 12 months ,when i was a student, and have shared in the sad experience of people passing, often having to wake them to tell them the sad news. I was always touched by the experience, and remember them all. There are no words that can comfort or take away the pain, that is so personal, all i can say is, having sat by my father's bed as he suffered from a terminal illness and passed, that some of us understand, that we are all with Steve in spirit, and we send him love in his sadness. The loved ones suffering is over, pain dulls with time, memories remain forever, live for yourself and in those memories. Bless you, stay safe all the best to Steve.
I've been watching your channel on my "burner account" kinda thing and you've made me really miss camping. Not had the chance to get out this year, too much going on at weekends (birthdays, weddings, christenings, family get together's etc...). It's going to be next year when I can get back out there, but I'll carry on watching your escapades. I'll also add you're a breath of fresh air not begging for subs and likes. Anyways, I've subbed on my proper account now. Hopefully I'll start uploading hiking videos soon, I have the footage, just not the time to edit it all.
welcome to the Lanshan 2 owners club !!…. my favorite tent …. i have the same tent …. luv it!! i also have the four season liner snd if you are expecting freezing temps / cold winds it’s awesome …. you need to seam seal the two patches on the side as water can migrate across through the stitching in really heavy rain … 👍👍
Really glad to hear that you're loving your new tent Claire :) You definitely seem much happier with this one than the 1 person single wall that you were using. Thanks as always for sharing your trip with us my friend :) Stay wild.... -John P.S. Congrats on passing 100k! Well deserved!
Hi John! 👋 Ahh yes I'm so pleased with it, deffo need to try it out in some mad weather, hopefully it'll be ok! 🤞Thank you so much for the congrats, I can't belive it 🥰 you guys are the best. Hope you have a nice weekend :) Claire 🐻
@@WildBeare Hey there Claire! You're certainly more than welcome! I hope that you had a nice weekend as well :) And I hope that the rest of your week is amazing my friend :) Cheers.... -John
Not sure what the load screeching was? Possibly a hawk or owel. I like your new tent. Alot of times sleeping in a tent in a sleeping bag I tend to get to warm. So at first I will sleep out of the bag and eventually when I have had enough coolness I will get bag in the bag. Idk. I just get to warm. 👍
This is the third thing you showed that I’m going to buy. Showed my scouts the mesh above ground fire pit last. Your videos are just phenomenal. Always special. Thanks for the adventure.
Aw thanks, that's so lovely that you would share with your Scouts, love that lil fire pit, great bit of kit. Thank you so much for the compliment, and hope you have a lovely weekend :) Claire 🐻
When I was motorcycle camping space was always a biggie but I’ve never used a one person tent. I don’t like sleeping in a crowded tent. You never know when you’ll get to that camp, get all set and wind up with two days of rain. A vestibule you can cook in us always good too.
I recently sold my Lanshan 2 and regretting it. It’s such a good tent and great value for money. So much space inside and great vestibule space which opens up for looking at the views. I now have a Wild Country zephyros compact 1, it’s ok but not really feeling it 🤨 I’ll stick with it and see how it goes. I’m glad you’ve found a tent that works for you 😀
Thanks Rachel, I love it so far 😍sorry to hear that, I know someone else that regrets selling theirs too. Hope you get along with the Zephyros! And hope you had a lovely weekend :) Claire 🐻
Hey Claire. I was watching a video of a guy reviewing that same tent. (4 season). It looked amazing. I did think he had to seam seal it though. That is going to be my next purchase. Mainly for the weight but also the amount of room there is. Great video as usual. Hope you had a lovely time away with the family. Stay safe. ⛺️⛺️
Hi Neil! Oh really.. I'll hopefully get to try it in a downpour locally and see how it does.. I'd love to avoid the sticky messy hell of seam sealing if possible 😄 Thanks so much, have a lovely long weekend :) Claire 🐻
@@WildBeare . I could be wrong. I was watching a few reviews on walking pole tents at the time. I look forward to a wet and rainy review from you on the tent. 🌧. Sadly I’m working all this weekend. ☹️. Stay safe. ⛺️⛺️
Use to camp and make sausage , taters and scrambled eggs for breakfast . Called it river bank gumbo . Delicious ! Glad to see you enjoying the outdoors so much ! 👌

@@WildBeare me too.
I didn't even know her or have ever saw her before but im numb. Can't imagine what the poor guy is going through.
@@jackpech5927 Same. One of the hardest things I've ever watched to see someone in such pain. So sad
That news hurt to hear. love the acknowledgement. Much love to all.
It is nice to watch these videos, it is like a small moment of freedom.
When I'm stuck in the office and can't go outdoors, these kind of videos ease my longing for the nature-fix I regularly need. Thanks a bunch! :)
Aw yay, thank you I'm so glad :D hope you can get out soon :) 🌿
You always put a smile on my face when I need it.
Thank you for being you.

Yep I agree, I didn't even notice the extra weight of this either :)
Hey, another great peaceful and relaxing video.
The mystery call was a Muntjac deer!
Thank you :) Oooh, was it? I've been listening to Munjac for years and have never heard one sound like this.. a baby maybe? Hope you have a lovely weekend 🌿Claire🐻
Yes, it surprised me. Roe deer have a real bark and Muntjac have a right squeak!😄
I don't think so. I think that is the night call of a Little Owl. The Muntjac deer has a lower more throaty call.
@@aucourant9998yeah I also think owl. I could be wrong…
The Muntjack and grey wolf sound similar!
I’m so happy you’ve found a tent with vestibules which help when the weather doesn’t cooperate, and the good benefit of lesser condensation.
Camping on your treks really helps me realize the points I’m looking for on my weekenders. Thanks, Claire. Always a pleasure.
Just a happy little person… your personality is so calming and your videos are inspiring!
Hi Claire, my wife and I backpacked the Northumberland coastal path using the Lanshan 2. I can confirm it is absolutely superb and once pitched correctly (we used sand pegs), it was rock solid with loads of room for two of us. Had loads of rain and wind the first night the tent brushed it off with impunity.
Overall great value shelter, totally concur with your review

Somehow you always seem to find all these lovely & scenic location. Spending quality time with Mother Nature is a blast to the heart & soul. Love your show & Love U.! That animalnoise could be a Yowie. Greetings from Australia.
that sound is a little owl, nice place to camp. great video
Hi Claire, the mystery sound was a Sika deer (Cervus nippon) alarm call, probably made by a hind (female.) Most common in Dorset/ Hampshire areas in southern England.
Your content is amazing! Your easy on the eyes and your voice is soothing! All compliments not To be taken wrong. Keep up the great work! I'm addicted to put it mildly!
Lovely video again Claire, they’re so soothing to watch. You have a great persona about you. Don’t think I could sleep without the tent openings closed. 😊⛺️🌿🐻
Heyy, thank you so much :) I love to sleep with a door open if I can, like the fresh air coming in, but it's nice to be enclosed & cosy too. Hope you have a lovely weekend 🌿🐻
Wow, what a peaceful place 🥹❤️
In strong wind, apparently the answer with the Pro 2 is to lower the walking poles down to 110cm or 105cm, rather than the recommended 120. That brings the outer down to the level of the grass, and stops the wind getting under it. I haven't had to do that yet with mine, it might effect the amount of condensation. Also helps if you don't point the doors towards the wind, that would mean one pole on one side taking most of the wind force. Brilliant film thank you for posting.
I’ve had my eye on this tent for a while. I think this is the best review video I’ve ever seen for any tent. Great job and I think I will be purchasing this tent now in the near future and can’t wait to use it on my next thru-hike. Also I love the nature shots they are awesome 👍🏼🌿🦋⛺️
heating and bring everything but the kitchen sink to make meals. I love how simple you keep it but yet you make look delicious and filling. Maybe lamb will be in my future . Als
Love. You always put a smile on my face. Thank you wild one! Bye.
Great googley you are the loveliest camper I have seen, you are one of my favorites. Camp on girly
Claire, I've watched this video several times and this is the first time I've noticed it was on my birthday. I really liked the new tent you have.
Mibee the call was the baby deer lookin for mama . That tent looks great to b fair👌👍😁💚
Tummen upp .Greatest from Patrick and Johanna to Claire. Thumbs up. .
Loved this one; I felt like I could smell that delicious breakfast!
Still processing Steve’s news, but I’m glad you have found a promising tent! I look forward to seeing where it will end up being pitched, trip after trip, and to hearing your evolving thoughts as you spend more nights in such sumptuous spaciousness!
Thank you, I'm really loving it so far, sumptuous indeed! Yeh, me too.. hugs x
Always interesting videos! Can't to see the next one, music is great!
Love your vibes😊
That's really cool to have a lightweight tent to use with trekking poles. Nice video again Claire. So relaxing to watch.
Another brilliant vid! You really draw the viewer in as you are so natural and with the drone footage and great music, make it so interesting to watch! Love, love, love your vids! 😊 No sausage?!! 😵💫
Another fantastic video. Thank you for brightening my day 😊
Yes that’s a Monjack dear, she was calling for her baby it’s so nice to see 😊😊
Hi there I cant get on it plus I dont do Facebook or Twitter sorry
Only like the countryside not tv or anything like that I know I am said
I recently started watching your videos and I found them to be so pleasing. Thank you and looking forward to seeing more videos.
Thanks Claire
Thank you for a nice video . Beautiful nature
Another really lovely video Claire :)
Hi Claire another fab video you're amazing 👏 ❤ 💖 💕
I really like that tent. Its ideal...small to pack away, big when it's up, and being able to use the trekking poles. No idea what that high pitch squeal was! Dinner and breakfast looked great by the way. Nice one Claire 👍
Yep, love my Lanshan 2, use it all the time for motocamping 👍
The tent looks like a winner, everything you need in a light weight piece of gear. Enjoyed the video, good luck identifying the noise maker.
Thank you, loving it so far, looking forward to getting it out in some terrible weather 😄 Have a lovely weekend! 🌿🐻
Just discovered you! I think I've binged watched like 8 of your videos already. It's giving me some inspiration 😌 Thanks for sharing your adventures 🦝🦎🐞
Brilliant! Just what I m thinking to get in order to do the SWCP. Perfect timing 😃
I needed a bit of beauty in my day.
Your videos are always so well shot and edited, and have been getting better.
Aw, thank you so much Mark :) have a lovely weekend! Claire🐻
Claire I have been watching all your videos and my new favourite word is “Floofy” 😂 great videos 👏
The bird sounded like an Osprey to me. They are common near coastal areas. Love your videos, you are such a pleasant person. Keep up the great vidoes.
Osprey in the UK?
Hi Claire. Lovely video as always. Think you will really like the Lanshan 2. Aleczander is right. You should just seam seal the stitching of the two tie out points on the side walls, as you may get some drips through there in heavy rain. Make sure you get the sealer for silnylon. I used Mcnett Silnet. Take care.
Quickly becoming my favorite channel.
Good choice on the tent. Once again thanks for making me hungry. Lol. Keep up the fantastic adventures and awesome videos. Can't wait to see the next one. Stay smiling and stay that beautiful you. Tim
Hi, I've had the lanshan 2 for a few years now, and I love it
It looked to me like you still had it pitched a bit too low to the ground. With a decent gap between the fly and the ground you get less condensation.
If you look up tutorials for pitching the ZPacks Duplex and follow the same procedure because the lanshan 2 is basically a clone of that tent.
I use a lanshan 1 inner under my lanshan 2 fly, that way I have one giant vestibule that I can bring my bike under when I'm bikepacking.
Also, personally I did seam seal my lanshan 2, just to be on the safe side.
Have a good one
Heyy, do you think? I just put it up with poles at 125 as recommended.. will have to have a look at the ZPacks tutorials. Using it for 2 nights in the Rhinogs, I was pitched in really long grass both nights so it didn't make any difference where the fly was, the long grass cut off all air movement and the condensation was terrible unless I had the door open all night.
I want to see how it does in heavy rain without seam sealing it and will of course seal the seams if I have to, but I'm not going to if it doesn't need it. Looking forward to trying it in some bad weather to see :D
Thanks for the advice, have a great week! Claire 🐻
I wondered what it would be like for that combo. I have the 2 with both inners. I never thought it could fit my touring bike. But the 2 is already tight for me with the 2p inners.
I can't wait to see you use this tent on future adventures. I have one and love it. I've been in heavy wind and rain and stayed dry. I don't use trecking poles so I ordered the 48" carbon fiber poles from Z Packs and they work great. Trying to get back into my hammock since I now hike with my dog. Just ordered the Pet Pallace bug net. Can't wait to try it out. Love following along and seeing all your new friends.❤❤
I like that tent Claire thanks for showing us and trying it. 👌🌟
Love my lanshan 2, glad you're enjoying it! It's never let me down 🌿
Many sincere condolences to Steve, on his tragic loss, i spent some time in the care of terminally ill people, sitting by their beds on night and day vigils often holding their hands as they passed, for family respite care, for 12 months ,when i was a student, and have shared in the sad experience of people passing, often having to wake them to tell them the sad news. I was always touched by the experience, and remember them all. There are no words that can comfort or take away the pain, that is so personal, all i can say is, having sat by my father's bed as he suffered from a terminal illness and passed, that some of us understand, that we are all with Steve in spirit, and we send him love in his sadness. The loved ones suffering is over, pain dulls with time, memories remain forever, live for yourself and in those memories. Bless you, stay safe all the best to Steve.
Beautiful comment 🫶🏻✨
I've been watching your channel on my "burner account" kinda thing and you've made me really miss camping. Not had the chance to get out this year, too much going on at weekends (birthdays, weddings, christenings, family get together's etc...). It's going to be next year when I can get back out there, but I'll carry on watching your escapades. I'll also add you're a breath of fresh air not begging for subs and likes. Anyways, I've subbed on my proper account now. Hopefully I'll start uploading hiking videos soon, I have the footage, just not the time to edit it all.
That looks like a great tent, Claire, it seems to tick a lot of boxes, I enjoyed the review.
welcome to the Lanshan 2 owners club !!…. my favorite tent …. i have the same tent …. luv it!! i also have the four season liner snd if you are expecting freezing temps / cold winds it’s awesome …. you need to seam seal the two patches on the side as water can migrate across through the stitching in really heavy rain … 👍👍
That bird is a screech owl. All the best. With Respect James
Really glad to hear that you're loving your new tent Claire :) You definitely seem much happier with this one than the 1 person single wall that you were using. Thanks as always for sharing your trip with us my friend :) Stay wild.... -John
P.S. Congrats on passing 100k! Well deserved!
Hi John! 👋 Ahh yes I'm so pleased with it, deffo need to try it out in some mad weather, hopefully it'll be ok! 🤞Thank you so much for the congrats, I can't belive it 🥰 you guys are the best. Hope you have a nice weekend :) Claire 🐻
@@WildBeare Hey there Claire! You're certainly more than welcome! I hope that you had a nice weekend as well :) And I hope that the rest of your week is amazing my friend :) Cheers.... -John
Not sure what the load screeching was? Possibly a hawk or owel.
I like your new tent. Alot of times sleeping in a tent in a sleeping bag I tend to get to warm. So at first I will sleep out of the bag and eventually when I have had enough coolness I will get bag in the bag. Idk. I just get to warm.
👍
This is the third thing you showed that I’m going to buy. Showed my scouts the mesh above ground fire pit last. Your videos are just phenomenal. Always special. Thanks for the adventure.
Aw thanks, that's so lovely that you would share with your Scouts, love that lil fire pit, great bit of kit. Thank you so much for the compliment, and hope you have a lovely weekend :) Claire 🐻
Might have to get me that brilliant bargain 😁 although I’ve never set up a tent with trekking poles before
It’s a pretty good tent. I was really comfortable
When I was motorcycle camping space was always a biggie but I’ve never used a one person tent. I don’t like sleeping in a crowded tent. You never know when you’ll get to that camp, get all set and wind up with two days of rain. A vestibule you can cook in us always good too.
Thank you for sharing, Claire 🙏
I recently sold my Lanshan 2 and regretting it. It’s such a good tent and great value for money. So much space inside and great vestibule space which opens up for looking at the views. I now have a Wild Country zephyros compact 1, it’s ok but not really feeling it 🤨 I’ll stick with it and see how it goes. I’m glad you’ve found a tent that works for you 😀
Thanks Rachel, I love it so far 😍sorry to hear that, I know someone else that regrets selling theirs too. Hope you get along with the Zephyros! And hope you had a lovely weekend :) Claire 🐻
Really enjoyable video Claire, very pleased you found your perfect tent. Thank you and Stay Safe.
Thanks John :)
Hey Claire. I was watching a video of a guy reviewing that same tent. (4 season). It looked amazing. I did think he had to seam seal it though. That is going to be my next purchase. Mainly for the weight but also the amount of room there is. Great video as usual. Hope you had a lovely time away with the family. Stay safe. ⛺️⛺️
Hi Neil! Oh really.. I'll hopefully get to try it in a downpour locally and see how it does.. I'd love to avoid the sticky messy hell of seam sealing if possible 😄 Thanks so much, have a lovely long weekend :) Claire 🐻
@@WildBeare . I could be wrong. I was watching a few reviews on walking pole tents at the time. I look forward to a wet and rainy review from you on the tent. 🌧. Sadly I’m working all this weekend. ☹️. Stay safe. ⛺️⛺️
Some people seam seal where the guylines are attached. But the rest is all ready sealed
Lovely peaceful vid as per.
Use to camp and make sausage , taters and scrambled eggs for breakfast . Called it river bank gumbo . Delicious !
Glad to see you enjoying the outdoors so much ! 👌
