A tip for people with silnylon trekking pole tents, after some rain you usually don't need to get outside and adjust the tension for each point individually. Just set the trekking pole up initially at a couple degrees of angle, and then when it gets wet, pull the bottom of the pole closer to the tent bathtub, straightening it from the bottom; increasing tension on the top of the tent and removing the sag.
Instructions not clear got wet
Epic tip that mate, thanks
Such simple logic! Thanks for the share. 👍🏼
YES!
I couldn't wait for your rain test and bought it anyway. Now I'm happy it performed well in your test.
Thank you brotha for testing this tent out, and giving the facts as well as intelligent opinions based on years of knowledge, without agenda. And making your videos entertaining as hell. I'll watch an episode while solo camping occasionally. It's like camping with a bro. Appreciate you
I have the Lanshan 2 and absolutely love it. Had it out in the rain multiple nights. It has outperformed any of my other tents. Thanks for sharing and thanks for your no nonsense reviews!!
In addition to the lanshan series, other 3fulgear tents are also good
Thanks for all you do Luke, I look forward to all your videos.
Great job seam sealing ! Thanks for the guide, did it to my bushcraft outfitters 10x7 tarp and worked perfectly
Great to know. Thanks for all. Your reviews are very interesting and useful.
I always learn something watching your vids,
Thanks 👍
brilliant video great test,love the storms!
Great test on an awesome and budget friendly tent brother.
I’ve used a Lanshan 2 person for a few years. For the money it’s a good tent. Light weight and easy to pitch (once you get the hang of it). Mine leaked on the tie out points on the end walls a bit of seam seal and she’s good to go
I have the 3F UL 2 Pro and loves it. Seam sealed it myself and had no issues.
Nice work Luke. I followed your seam sealing method and my Lanshan 1 Pro is also waterproof.
Great video. No doubt the seam sealing was perfect!
I have this tent. I seam sealed it myself. In the last year, it became my favorite tent. Minimalist and lightweight. I had only a few days of rain in this time, but with no issue. No leaking at all.
Wah! I got the same exact tent but yet to use! Hope my seam sealing is good! Thank you for the review. 👍🏼 1st.
A great addition.
I knew this tent would perform well :) can't wait for you to do some overnights in it for a full function review.
I own the original 2 wall tent in Red. I figure if the weather is good, it's nice for star gazing without bugs bugging me. And I can somewhat extend my seasons with it. I know folks who take their 2P original on winter trips. That is not the 4 season one, by the way.
Thanks for an amazjng test!
I think this tent is awesome! I would like to have a good inexpensive backpacking tent around just for an occasional use. and not wanting to spend a lot of money. I would very much like to see the 2 person tent. by a trusted TH-camr... Luke you are the man. and my go to person if I am looking for good gear I can trust. thanks for your hard work and dedication
I'm glad you do these test bc most people will just say it said water resistant or water proof and some leak which would be a big problem on a long hike. Could just bring a tarp for extra protection but more wait
Awesome job!!
I've had the Landshan 2 pro for years now. It's never failed me, the thing is light and compact too! Never needed anything else.
Luke I had never doubt about the tent linking because you didn't awesome job sealing the tent
Good job on the seam seal Luke! 👊
Quite ne subscriber! Great videos. Congratulations and keep the good work
Looks good.
Hey Luke! Long time watching your channel. You do a great service sir. I recently saw a new tent on the LoneWolf channel. The Nortent Vern 1 one person tent. It looks to me to be the best one person tent EVER!! I think it was released this past July. It looks bulletproof. Thanks for your work!!!
I looked at the Nortent site. It is $400. But it does look badass.. lol
Love your videos
Thank you for sharing
Good job, my friend!!!
I seam sealed my own lanshan 2 and then I left it in the garden set up for a month and it didnt leak once, fantastic tent.
I have the 2-person, double-walled Lanshan and love it. I have only had it out twice so far due to this year being too busy but it's a lot of tent for the money in my book.
It would be great to see your take on it.
Great info and good seam seal S & H.
Your videos gave me the confidence to order this tent to use on a through hike and to replace my heavier, too spacious MSR Hubba Hubba NX2. I am looking forward to do the seam sealing with your technique and test in out soon!
The lanshan series is very popular in Europe, and we sell it to the UK and France.
Excellent
Thank you..
Thank you for this review. I'm considering this tent for a scout trip to Philmont Scout Ranch but the other backpacking tents out there are crazy expensive.
Yes, 3F tents are not expensive, mainly because of the exchange rate and because the owner is Chinese and the factory is in China, so the overall price is not high.
My wife and I have the lanshan 2 and the lanshan 2 pro. I knew once seam sealed, it wouldn't leak. And you showed the fortius tent and compared it to the lanshan 1 pro. To be fair, the fortius is a 2 person tent so you can't really compare the sagging to a 1 person lanshan. The lanshan will sag a little but I've never had to make more than 1 adjustment after the sagging happened and no more sagging. The lanshan 2 and 2 pro are both incredible tents for the money. Properly set up, they won't sag much or need continuous adjustments. Usually, just 1 and done. The zpacks duplex is definitely half the weight of the lanshan 2 pro and the fortius but price vs. Those other 2 is where the lanshan shines. And, they can easily be made better with minor mods. I recommend the 3f ul lanshan 2 and 2 pro to anyone looking for a quality tent at a very budget price! I just ordered the Durston xmid 2 and am looking forward to putting it side by side with our lanshans and our duplex.
How did you manage to waterproof through the elastic tiebacks on the pro? My 2p pro leaks through the elastic despite my best efforts with seamgrip. I thought it was waterproof for quite a while, because it only leaks in very heavy rain. Light, moderate, even the low end of heavy, it won't leak even if saturated for days. But when it pours, those wick steady drips down the mesh and into the bathtub.
@@TheIamyourmother I mixed seam sealer with a little acetone to thin it down. Put it directly onto the elastic straps and around where they are sewn into the tent. With it thinned down, it seeps into every little crevice. It also makes the seam sealer almost unnoticeable. No shiny spots that scream "hey, I seam sealed this myself. "
The LanShan is a good tent. The X-Mid however is a huge upgrade over the LanShan.
@@one2869 thanks a ton!
Congratulations on 500000
I’m pretty sure this episode was just to show off your seam sealing skills.. 😂 thanks for the info, helps with every purchase I make or plan to make. Cheers 🍻
I thought it was gonna leak. But I'm a pessimist and expect the worse. So hey I love being wrong on these type of situations! Nice job on the seal!
I have 2 Lanshan 1 PRO tents.
1 pc 3 season and 1 pc 4 season.
I use 3-season ones in the forest and 4-season ones in the Swedish mountains.
I have now used them for 3 years and they work very well.
They are seam sealed.
I have during these 3 years more is 60 nights in them.
I've had them in heavy 24-hour rain and wind up to 20 sec/m wind in the Swedish mountain world without problems.
That's a lot of tent for that money.
I trust them 100%.
I use my hiking pole for the tent because then I can increase or decrease the ventilation depending on the weather.
Good review Luke, try the std lanshan 2 maybe withthe 4 season inner. Imho its a killer bargain. Ive been testing my mine in worse and worse conditions and worst ive had is a sprinkle of spray driven under the top ventilation. Mesh stopped it though and i stayed dry. Simple idea well executed
It always seems to rain where you are! 😁
please do the Lanshan 2 review. The Pro version. A much roomier tent than the lanshan 2. Love the reviews you do!
Yes get the 2 person tent and go for the comparison!
I love it, I'll take a 1 and 2 person please and can I have you Luke seam seal it, great review brother, thanks for the time and effort.
Like what is your recommendation on a very quick set up tent thanks love the channel keep it up Sir.
So far so good with my Lanshan pro. Used it in high winds and solid rain and other than the condensation it has performed perfectly
Non pro version is less for condensation
Not surprised. I have the Lanshan 2 pro. It has never leaked. Nice tent.
💞 your show😎
Luke I think it would be interesting if you took a tent you do not like because it leaked. Seam seal it and then put it through your test. For this one you liked the tent from the get go and you sealed it. How could it leak. Have a great one!
That is definitely (THE TENT)‼️👍
I love my lanshan!
I have the lanshan 2 person and love it so much lighter than the other tents I have.
Could you do a Luxe tent? I have 2 of them with the ww3 stove. My buddy has different Luxe tent. They seem pretty good to us. Pretty fine winter camping.
Nice tent, I would get the two man version just to have more room in case I got stuck in it on a rainy day. Had a cheap dome tent for my first tent years ago, seam sealed it and never had a bit of trouble with it even camping in a couple of epic thunderstorms one of them on an island in Tampa Bay. I only got rid of it because it started smelling so bad from my small kerosene lamp (no long lasting and way safer led lamps back in the seventies).
I knew it wouldn't leak because mine doesn't! Great tent.
My best wishes
Everyone I know that has these, love them. Yes it gets bad condensation when low winds as single skin, but for weight, room and quality, it’s tough to beat these. Tbh I think the non-pro version is great too. Heavier as double wall, but that solves getting your down bag wet. Amazing for the money imo
All that’s true besides one major thing. The regular model is shorter so anyone over 5”11 will touch each end. That makes the inner mesh pointless and you’ll end up more wet. I own both and I’m 6”2. The pro is the way to go if you are taller.
@@SneakyCaleb old video, but do you have the older pre 2021 version? Because after that they added 8" to the length, and the inner dimensions are now claimed to be the same as the pro.
For most novices, lanshan1 will be more friendly.
I've got the Lanshan Pro 1 and it's pretty awesome for the price, weight and internal space.
I got mine seam sealed at the factory (it was an optional (paid) extra) and hasn't leaked once.
Fair comments about the stretching, it is something to keep on top of in the rain.
Condensation is a bit of a problem though - there have been times in the wind where I'm getting rained on inside as the condensation gets dislodged, but again... it's a single skin tent and condensation is generally an issue with all such tents.
Overall, for the price and weight, it's a great tent.
For most novices, lanshan1 will be more friendly.
Nothing beats the Teton sports mountain ultra series for price/performance.
Ive got the Lanshan Plus 1 with 4 season mesh and I think its much better then this pro version. Made many modes to make it even better and very happy to have my small portable home lol
蓝山这么受欢迎😊😊😊
Video very dark. Thanks for the review!!
There are a number of chi ese companies making tents to this design. My 3FUL lanshan 1 (after seam sealing) and lanshan 2 (original version) have been out in everything and both have kept me dry.
Yes
I think your pretty capable of seem sealing. I need to know is the Coleman seem sealer any good for their tents and theirs only. I have bought a Sundome tent after your review and I had about two tablespoons of water in the tent.
I bet it doesn't leak I trust in your skills
Get the 2p!! Let the games begin!!
I just got the lanshan 2 in. Haven't set it up yet. But I didn't spring for the pro bc I didn't want a single wall tent. And supposedly it's already seam sealed.. we shall see. As usual, I'm a set it up in the backyard n test it's waterproofing to be sure. Luke if you get a lanshan 2, would you get pro or regular & why? Curious if we think similarly or not 🤣🤣
I’ve heard that the pro versions suffer with condensation more than the standard versions. I do own a lanshan 2 pro and cannot say it performed badly condensation-wise, or in any other respect. It has performed outstanding in UK weather (wet and horrible) on the 2 occasions I’ve used it. It’s not my go-to but I do use it at least twice a year, although yet to use it in the middle of winter. It is reasonably well made and very light. That’s all I can say. Well worth the price they cost to buy 😅
Which tents you use the most?
We have sold so many Lanshan series, most of which are non pro
When the Material stretches, does it soak up wather so that it needs to dry in dry areas? And does it makes a sheet of lets say toiletpaper wet when you fixate it in the inside of the tent?
thank you
I wish I could see you spend more overnight adventures
I wish there was a link for the seam sealed episode.
i have lanshan 2 pro and i love this tent. for this money in my opinion there is no better. I have never had any problems with it.
Question… when you reviewed the River Country Products Trekker1, you stated over and over how you shouldn’t have to seam seal a tent when you buy it. With the Lanshan, you didn’t mind at all.
I like both tents (RCP and Lanshan) and I think both are built well. I have no preference of one over the other. I do own a RCP silnylon tent that they sold to me as a prototype and I seam sealed it. It’s almost identical to the Lanshan 1 person. However, I’m not saying RCP are better… I’m simply curious as to why you said you shouldn’t have to seam seal one, but happily did the other.
Thanks
I think it’s grate
is sil-nylon stretching permanent or does it shrink back to original size?
Could you cut clear tent tape, to stop rain getting in via seams, long strips all way along, they waterproof eh, that's easier if works ❤️
hey luke when will you do a video with your evil twin camping that be so cool
#Hi Luke, I hope you try the 2 person tent ⛺️. BUT Please🙏, I would like to see Your rigorous waterproof testing on the Haven tent's ground conversion.
Are you going to sleep in it during a rain storm? I’d love to hear your opinion on the condensation issue.
I thought it would leak. Color me surprised that you really did pay attention to everything during the seam sealing process. Good Job.
Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada.
"Seam sealing is super simple.. It only took me 10 years to develop the process."
Have you bought a Durston X-Mid tent to test out? They should still be in stock for a November delivery (if you pay the extra $20 air freight shipping). We want your thoughts on this tent!
Hi Luke! I have every confidence in your seam sealing abilities. What do you do with all the tents once they fail or pass the test?
Good question. With all the gear he has had through the years, he could fill a 2 car garage to the brim lol.
I tested my ov in two days of steady rain and it did not sag as bad as the one you tested. Idk what's up but mine held up and acted like the lanshan you tested.
Me- Is it going to rain?
God- is Luke camping?
I haven’t seen you use your trailer up at your property in awhile. Do you still use it?
there is a new 2022 double walled version that comes seam sealed
I live in Australia so don't know about the availability for other countries but if you want to look into it I got it from (ultralight hiker) in Australia
That’s not the pro model
Mmmm that condensation
There is a shot of the 6am storm that looks like a layer of pea sized hail ?
Please don't take this the wrong way. I am a long time viewer. But your last vids seem darker than usual. Are you using a different camera or settings?
Great tent but its always the condensation that is hard to beat
Looks like a decent tent for a bug out bag.
I never camp without a tarp tied up above my tent anymore, peace of mind, and that way you can unzip a bit for ventilation
Napthine and silicone, it's the best sealant ever look on TH-cam
Brough mine 3 years ago. Never have the time to test it.
These tents are growing on me. I have a question regarding silnylon stretching. Do they stretch once and that's it or do they stretch each time they get wet? And I'd love to see how the 2 stacks up against the Fortius and Zpacks.
silnylon will shrink back as it drys. You need to be aware of his and should loosen off any extra tension you've added to take up sag as it drys otherwise you risk tearing the fabric.
