Astagear Yun Chuan 2 Tent Review, How to Seam Seal & Rain Test

Here's my review of the Astagear Yun Chuan 2. I also explain how to seam seal it and give it a test in the rain up the mountains on a wild camp out.
It's an ultralight large two man tent which uses trekking poles to set up, ideal for thru-hikes.

[@caverryan]

Not blaming you, but just FYI, this appears to be a direct, comically blatant, knockoff of the Durston X-mid. Maybe point people to the person who came up the idea originally, not to yet another Chinese knockoff.

[@MrWildWales]

@caverryan maybe you didn't listen to my explanation that it looks ike the tarptent stratosphere which was made in 2014 in China. The Durston xmid is also made in China

[@EventyrsorenDenmark]

Great review. It looks really ok😊

[@MrWildWales]

Thanks, it's a cool thing

[@MoosebearAdventures]

Very nice review

[@MrWildWales]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Kactoily]

Nice update! Are you interested in reviewing our 6-in-1 drinking water tester? It can test bacteria, virus, microplastic, heavy metal, and weed kiiler., etc! We're sure that you'll love it.

[@MrWildWales]

Sounds interesting 🤔

[@christopherlewis2274]

When are we going to get a boys night camp.😄👍

[@MrWildWales]

You're right I haven't been for 3 weeks will get out next week now 👍

[@madmikesmountianmadness1917]

Lovely looking spot man i wish i knew where that was 👍

[@MrWildWales]

Cheers I sense you may actually know lol

[@ShinyStickEC]

cool lil tent, how much was it?

[@MrWildWales]

Worked out at £160 for me 👌

[@TheWanderingAnglo]

Cheese leek and ham pasta mixed with mash?

[@MrWildWales]

Oh yeah! 👌😁 Doesn't change the flavour just makes it more calorific

[@TheWanderingAnglo]

​@MrWildWales I could try it, to make my oasta sauces more filling

1ST

[@MrWildWales]

😁🙌

[@caverryan]

Looks suspiciously like a knockoff copy of the Durston X-mid.... Perhaps don't feed the monster of Chinese IP theft...

[@MrWildWales]

It certainly does look like the X-mid, Stratosphire and Lanshan! All of which were made in China. You could say all of these copied the Sierra Designs High Route though.

[@wandering_not_lost]

@@MrWildWalesthe Chinese may have manufactured those tents but they were American or Canadian designed, just because you make something for someone else doesn’t give you the right to rip off the design and make a cheaper copy. Doesn’t stop the Chinese from doing it of course, they did it with cars as well. It’s still theft of Intellectual Property

[@MrWildWales]

Main reason I chose this model was the colour if anything. Funny you mentioned cars. Since the first car was invented it's been copied over and over again with small changes. Same with tents they keep getting copied and improved over time

[@livinglavvu]

It's the whole "seam seal it yourself", that would prevent me from purchasing these kind of tents. Maybe I'm just a canvas snob 🤷🖖🏕️

[@MrWildWales]

Seam sealing is a right pain!
