I have the Lanshan 1 (not Pro), and I like it, but though I almost always camp alone, I've considered the Lanshan 2 or 2 Pro for the extra space. The Lanshan 1 was difficult to pitch at first, and it needed a few mods to keep the inner off of my face, but I've mastered it now. I've even used it with platform anchors over the water in the Okefenokee Wildlife Refuge. I need extra-long lines for the anchors, but a platform is very flat, so it works quite well. I have two other, free standing, 2 person tents, one three season and one four season, but they're considerably heavier. I ordinarily kayak-camp, so weight is less of an issue, but I plan a seven day hike on the Appalachian Trail in the spring, and I'll likely take either my Lanshan 1 or a new tent. You're talking me into the Lanshan 1, but I also like the Lanshan 2 (not Pro) and the Featherstone Backbone 2P. The Backbone is a single-walled tent that I prefer to the Lanshan 2 Pro. My daugher may accompany me on the seven day hike. If we share a tent, my Featherstone Peridot is light enough particularly if we split the components, but I may not resist the temptation to add another tent to my collection ... If she brings her own tent, justifying a new tent will be more difficult, but the difficulty has never stopped me before ...
Total opposites for me, I have Lanshan 1 that I'm going to get rid of, I absolutely hated it, used it once and will never again use it ever again. Lanshan 2, perfect, used it on the Cumbria Way (none pro version) for the first time and it was absolutely perfect. It does take a few goes to master it but I think for it's price it's brilliant. I thru-hike with a dog mind which is one of the reasons I hated the Lanshan 1 :D Edit: Tho, I would absolutely love a Durston but man-o-man, they dear!
I have this tent, and for the life of me, I cannot pitch it properly - and I have taken it on seriously long hikes. Every pitch is arseways (technical term), the corners sag, and like you mentioned, the door thing is bit of a mess. At night the whole thing moves because I move. Despite my pitching shortcomings, I really like the tent...it's probably me, but I should probably flog it too. Thanks for the video!
@@stirfrywok2927 the trouble is that if you watch videos on how to pitch it properly you get people with measuring tapes and complicated ways of setting the tent down before you peg it out and it all seems like a lot of effort. The door things do my head in. I can never seem to get them setup properly. Still, it's a huge tent with a tiny pack size.
You're probably are not pitching it high enough. You have to leave a large gap at both ends. That is how it is designed. If you don't want that then just overlap the doors with an extra peg. The problem is in the UK they all want to pitch it low to the ground to keep the wind out understandably. The Lanshan 1 Plus (not Pro but double wall with with 230 cm inner) is probably a better choice because you can pitch it low at the backside while still pitch it high enough overall.
Unless you are very sure you don't buy a single wall tent. With the non pro version you can order a 4-season inner. And/or use the inner in a different model tent or tarp. Especially with the Lanshan 1 pyramid. True the inner doesn't have the head space like the Lanshan 2. You have to sit in the middle.
@TheWalkingKev I will look👍 I went to the rocking stone Friday and put your channel in the description. It's only a short, I'll do the video on the weekend. I'm not the best with technology, I can't do links. I can film and edit but that's my limit at the moment.😁
Lanshan-1 deffo the better shelter! I do find though, that even the 1-man takes up a bigger footprint than all my other single person tents.. it also requires good ground to pitch on being a tension style tent, and for me to be able to get my 9” corner stakes fully in the ground - for maximum rigidity! Mine is the Plus (bigger) version, with 4-season inner and T-Zip inner doors, which also makes it much easier to live with and get in/out of.. Luckily mine came in that configuration and not that silly J-Door on one side only, on the inner tent! It’s the lightest tent in my fleet of now 8 shelters. 😄
@@Ash12530 nice. I suspect mine might be the plus one as it felt very spacious. I can't remember the doors as I've only used it once. I've got a stupid amount of tents!
@@OutdoorKlinge I've got all the standard ads running. I just don't get that many views. I'm in the process of selling lots of tents and gear so I might reinvest some of that. But there are so many tents out there to choose from!
Nice viddy shame your selling it , without doubt my favourite tent , with our mod kits simple to get that perfect pitch 👍 the L1 will take more weather for sure but it’s a lot smaller Atb Col OGE
@@stevew585 I've had nights with condensation and nights without with this tent. It all depends on amount of wind I guess. But I do prefer a double skin tent to avoid it.

@@driewiel I think the Lanshan 1 I have is the Plus model. Loads on space inside.

Good video Kev.
It looks a good tent.
I need to look at your gear you are selling. I'm slowly getting there picking up things.
@@JamieHarding5 I'm selling a lot of tents, a couple of very good ones.

Kev, the ‘contact me’ widget on your ‘site is broken. I think it’s the captur thingy.
@@stewartboughtflower6261 thanks for letting me know, I'll have a look and get back to you.
Great vid Kev. As you say, there’s no need for a tent for 2 when your a one man band 😁
@@PhilipOlsen11 although the space is luxurious.
Cheers Kev 👍
@@patdunne3277 thanks Pat.
do you have that link for the company that'll seal it for you?
Sure, it is £35 for the service which is not bad as at least £10 of that is the cost of the sealant. outdoorgearessentials.co.uk/
Hi are you going to buy the nordisk svalbard 1 pu 2.0?
@@OutdoorKlinge not at this time. I'm trying to sell a load of tents. Can't really afford to buy any at the moment.
@@TheWalkingKevokay, what about putting more ads in your vids I think that would help you.

How much do you want for it?
I guess it'll go for about £100. I think I've got the original footprint for it as well.

@@southcoastoutdoorsuk6301 I enjoyed this last camp in it. It's a great bit of kit, I just need to reduce my 20+ tents down to a sensible amount.
How could I possibly get it? 😂
@@shanedoherty1625 you want it?
I wouldn't say no ...how much u selling for. Thou im in Ireland so may need to see how much delivery would be.
@@shanedoherty1625 not sure yet. I need to work out the average price and see what I can get for it!
Indeed...its my dream tent and a bit too expensive. Here it never goes second hand. But if you settle with price please let me know 😜
I had a single skin tent once, never again, the condensation is a joke, just a waste of time.
@@stevew585 I've had nights with condensation and nights without with this tent. It all depends on amount of wind I guess. But I do prefer a double skin tent to avoid it.
@@TheWalkingKev Yes, double skin every time these days!
