Ah, ok. Without tying a knot in the guy line there, when you unzip/unhook the door the whole line slackens off. That includes the top cone, and the top ridge of the tent goes slack. Just tie a knot with a loop at the position where the peg is. Then peg it out through that loop. That way, when you unzip/unhook the door, the top of the tent stays taught. Also, you can then independently tighten/slacken the top of the tent, or the door.
Out of all the tents I own, this one is by far the best value for money. I've got the standard Lanshan 2 and the 2 Pro and believe me, I've had them out in some testing conditions. I used my Pro for the Pennine Way, perfect tent for the job and once you've got the knack, can be pitched in about 3 minutes. Great pitching & tips video. ATB
Thanks 👍 I bet you’ve had it out in all conditions. You might like some of the other vids I’ve done on this tent. Wind test, rain test, snow test, seam sealing, bathtub upgrade etc. Cheers, Justin.
Hello, thank you for the valuable information on how to set up and configure this tent. I recently purchased this model and, I confess, I didn't set up the tent correctly, leaving it very uneven. Now with this video, I know how to assemble it correctly. Thank you one more time. And...sorry for my terrible English, as I'm Brazilian and used Google Translate.
Thank you 🙏 Can you please send me a free Lanshan 1 Pro tent to make a video including reference to your website? I made 6 videos on the Lanshan 2 Pro. They are most popular on my channel with over 150,000 views in total.
The original Lanshan plastic hook broke during my high wind test video. Here is the link. I did the swap, thanks to my friend, in the mountains. It worked! th-cam.com/video/cNwdXm9C1Tk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=2LWKSvG2Vt5kl0wc
I have one and I love it also. Bear in mind when you are on the South Downs Way or many hikes in the summer it is almost impossible to pitch this tent in my experience. 1 the ground is too hard for the pegs and 2 you rarely find a flat lawn on a long hike. For that reason I use a free standing tent despite the extra weight
Finally got one of these. Mine doesn’t have the pre-tied loop for the centre guy lines, nor the metal grommets at pole inserts (it’s a nylon loop instead) but your instructions helped a lot… thanks !
Yesssss Justin. I’ll be honest I got the lanshan 2 a few weeks back and I’ve watched videos on end and still haven’t got it pitched properly… until now. Fantastic I’ve finally got it sorted. Very much appreciated the video 👍
many thanks for this instruction, despite I'm used some different tents in the past, my construction last week with the lanshan 2, looked a little poor, so with your advice it should be much better next time 🙃
I have experimented with my Lanshan 2 pro and set the poles to 110. Also for the guy lines at the pole ends I peg down separately. All essentially to reduce the gap at these ends.
nice video, do you also have the 'problem'' when it rains it looks that the tent becomes a little bit bigger? i mean the fabric seems to become a little bit larger when its wet. So when it rains i always have to go outside to re-tension the tent.
Thanks. Yes, it’s the silnylon fabric which absorbs moisture and slackens when wet. I’ve noticed though, when it dries and gets a bit of sun it tightens itself up 👍
Yes, eyelets. Probably one of the numerous little differences between Flame’s Creed, 3F UL and Maier versions, aswell as changes over time. Mine is the early 2020 Flame’s Creed version.
Looks cool... I've had years of L1 & L2, I now have an L2 pro but have never pitched it in anger, so any tips are good! It's not the pitch that concerns me most tho, it's the condensation. atb... Sinco
Hi Sinco, Lots of practise in the back garden and on trail led me to this method. Plus tips from other TH-camrs. It's probably not perfect, there are always other things to tinker with.
Hy Justin Very instructive video. You should send it to the manufacturer for their website 😉 Thumb up... I be curious on your decision for the next long-distant-walk Grüße Beda
a lot of people use this tent but thay only have it for themself as it has more room than the lanshan1 how is the room in it if i was to get one for a couple im wanting to go to the lakes but the sights dont alow sleeping in your car so need a small light tent but also room for two would you recomend this
Have you ever when its raining touched the tent from the inside by accident and rains come through? Have I just made that up or is that a thing that can happen?
No Andy, it’s totally waterproof. Never had a leak. You do have to seal the seams though. Watch my heavy rain test video th-cam.com/video/ppUUOameQv4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=J_c-GIMCDVkhpNhh
I did say “5 or 6 inches” aswell though! 😂 I’m an engineer and at school/college and in the factory we used both imperial and metric every day. It’s easy for me to switch between. My parents use only imperial and my kids only metric. I was in the ‘cross-over’ generation.
@@JustinWhiting9 When watching the second time, I recognized you mentioned as well inches... I just heard "meter" the first time, probably because I did not expect it... :D
Absolutely brilliant, by far the best video on this tent. Just 1 question, I lost you at 3:50?
Thank you Paul. What do you mean ‘lost you’ ? I checked the video at 03:50 and it looks and sounds ok. 🤷
Sorry, should have explained. Where/how are you tying the ''extra knot'' to allow seperate tensioning on the to the doors. Thanks@@JustinWhiting9

Thank you and you’re welcome!
Your English is good 👍

It’s the same in Scotland. Not easy to find good pitches! My back garden is pretty near a perfect pitch but no mountains! 🏔️
Finally got one of these. Mine doesn’t have the pre-tied loop for the centre guy lines, nor the metal grommets at pole inserts (it’s a nylon loop instead) but your instructions helped a lot… thanks !
Thanks Alex! Hope you enjoy your tent. Check out my other videos on the Lanshan 2 Pro. They should also be helpful. 👍 Justin.

GO ON GEOFF! You smashed it mate 💪 Woof! Thanks for the comment my friend 🤠 Lots of L2pro vids on my channel. Enjoy.
@@JustinWhiting9 brilliant mate, I’ll have a watch back through the channel.
Thank you, I am considering getting this for the Cumbrian Way...
👍 Check out my Cumbria Way videos in my Lanshan 2 pro!
Great video.
Thanks! 🙏

really nice video keep up

Good thinking Mike. On occasion, I set the poles low too, if it’s windy. 👍
Great video Justin!
Thanks Ryan 👍

Oooo.... You have grommets for your walking poles on your Lanshan 2 Pro. I don't seem to have them. Wish I did!

Thanks Beda. Actually, one tent website used my videos in the past. New trail very soon... 👍
I think I'll try your technique next overnighter.
Hi John 👋 Hope you’re well. You live and learn.

Hi Justin, is the Lanahan 2 Pro a two person tent?
Yes Lance. Dimensions in the description box plus see my other ‘unboxing’ video for more general info. 👍
Спасибо!

Most interesting to me: A Brit talked about "Meter" and not in the Imperial measurements. 🤣
I did say “5 or 6 inches” aswell though! 😂 I’m an engineer and at school/college and in the factory we used both imperial and metric every day. It’s easy for me to switch between. My parents use only imperial and my kids only metric. I was in the ‘cross-over’ generation.
@@JustinWhiting9 When watching the second time, I recognized you mentioned as well inches... I just heard "meter" the first time, probably because I did not expect it... :D
It’s mostly metric here now but miles and pints will never change. 🍺
@@JustinWhiting9 Sure, because a Pint is still a little bit more than 0,5 L. So it pays off ;-)
