Very nice - I especially found your tip helpful on leaving the tensioning tabs loose at first because the tent would stretch and sag a bit and then tightening them later on. ¡Muchísimas gracias!
Fantastic. I recently got the Mier version of this tent and have been practicing for three days for a trip this weekend. I have looked at literally ten videos trying to get my pitch just right and have taken the tent down and put it back up four times. Your video is the ONLY one that gave me a perfectly pitched tent, no adjustments needed. Sometimes it's the little things like staking only the rainfly first and leaving extra room on the corners for tightening later that make all the difference. I still don't care for the tensioners and haven't figured out how to make the vestibule ones work perfectly while still being able to easily attach and unattach the fly but I'm satisfied....FINALLY!!! So glad I ran across your video, this is as perfect as my pitch is going to get and no fuss!!!! You saved me from a saggy, sorry looking tent at camp! :)
@@BowlineDandy it certainly was. i was doing it 100% wrong. still trying to figure out how the adjustments work but it seems easy enough once i get it figured out. after watching this video it took me less then 5 minutes to get it str8 and now its in my backyard looking beautiful
Yeah it took me quite a few attempts to figure it out I remember the first time it took me 1hr and it looked crappy, you should post a video about your tent man
@@BowlineDandy i did my first unboxing attempt with it, then put it up all weird. im ganna post that later on tonight, and then i was going todo another one setting it up correctly and shoutout your channel for teaching me how to set it up
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
Thanks for this. It came in the mail yesterday. How are the guy lines attached on the outer on the short side (where head/feat are). Mine came unattached and im trying to figure out the best way.
Hey bro, great video! I'm seriously considering buying this tent for my upcoming crossing of Switzerland through the Alps (on a budget lol). I was wondering if it's possible to pitch the tent "lower" by adjusting the height of the trekking poles? If the tent is closer to the ground, I'm guessing that wind and rain splashes will have less of a chance to get inside.
Totally doable my friend, same exact steps but lower trekkinn pole. I've taking this tents to alpine settings on to about 4800 meters of altitude with high winds and it all worked great
@@BowlineDandy Cool! Thanks for your reply! One last question if you don't mind. Did you ever use a ground sheet? Dixie (a famous outdoor youtuber) seems to think that the nylon material of the bathtub could break easily. What's your opinion?
Sure thing I mean you gotta use your judgement on those ones but yeah I usually cook on either vestibule ideally having the door a bit open to have some air going. No problems at all so far.
Buen video! Me interesa saber el espacio adentro. Pareciera muy justo. Cual es tu altura? Alguna vez tuviste problemas de condensacion tocando la pared interna con los pies? Saludos
I have seen a couple of videos where this tent has ripped on top of the poles, I am wondering if there are different manufacturers of this tent some making good quality and some bad quality tents, or could it have been the user's didn't know how to erect it properly.
Hi, nice video! I have some question ... How tall are you? 🙂 I have 6,5 ft 😕 And how big is your dry sack? The inner tent is firmly connected to outer tent ? Thank you!
@@BowlineDandy but in Pro version Iam scared about wet inside ... I have very small tent 2 m length and sleep inside diagonally and it is almost okay 😀 Lanshan 2 nonpro is more wider and higher so it will be maybe okay ...
Hey, thanks for such a comprehensive, no-bull video. Two things: 1. Your English is amazing. 2. Is this in Mexico? If so, where exactly? I'd love to live their. - Ronnel, un estadounidense que vive en Francia.
Nice video, I took my Lanshan 2 up in the mountains the last 3 days, and... It is nice. But it sags, I had to always adjust the tension... In the morning of the last day (the place was very over grown with grass and flowers) drops of condensation where transfering from outer wall to inner wall, because the tent does not keep the tensions during the night. So I'm not sure how this tent will hold up in bad weather with wind and rain. Looks to me that it will sag up, and the inner wall will be in contact with the outer and you will get wet. It is a nice tent, but I would not trust it for more than excellent conditions. (do I may change my mind)
Sil nylon absorbs too much water so it will always sag, although in my experience water doesn’t makes its way inside. If you want something that doesn’t sag you’ll want sil poly or dyneema but poly it’s usually heavier and dyneema is bulkier and more expensive
@@BowlineDandy Tnx for answering, I've checked the Hilleberg Anaris, do definitely in a different price range, but in the videos I saw, the tent does not sag so much. I may look into that. Hilleberg still a very good choice to avoid spending every year or two money, as you can keep they tent for a lifetime. The 3f UL 2 is definitely nice, but for my few days out in the mountains, I'm not sure about how it will handle a day or two under the rain and wind.
I have same tent that i haven't test yet. My concern is is so thin. If someone to shine tourch up onto the side anyone could see what I'm doing on the inside. Can u do a test on that?
@@BowlineDandy Thanks! I'm from Canada and wont be doing any camping in the winter, but our fall and spring are way colder than let's say California so I dont know if the 3 season would be good at around 5c?
Nice walk-through. I'm curious: have you used it with the rainfly off (or partially off)? That's another configuration I'd like to try for a warm summer night.
I have set it up like that with no rain fly but only in my house since I usually camp above 4,000m of altitude (13,000ft) so most of the times I use the rainfly for wind protection no matter what season.
Im 175cm, the tent is 210cm long so if you set both side lines tight you could fit without touching, but depends on you pad height and sleeping bag loft of course
@@BowlineDandy Hmm then I might go for the new 3F UL "Pyramid / mid / noname“ you mentioned in the reddit comments. This seems a little too tight of a fit for my taste.
Yes 2 people with regular pads fit well but things have to be on the vestibules or for 1 can fit a long and wide pade and stuff inside so basically a mansion
maybe you could check out the lanshan pro, apparently it accomodates taller people, i haven't tried it nor needed it since im 5'8''. Another good one you could test is the Duncan XMid 2. Cheers!
Yeah sorry English is not my main language and I also noticed that mistake when editing the video, what I meant is that with this method already setting the first pole it doesn't fall down as it usually happens with a bad pitch
The tabs on the floor outside the doors hook around the tip of your trekking poles, in case someone didn't know
Very nice - I especially found your tip helpful on leaving the tensioning tabs loose at first because the tent would stretch and sag a bit and then tightening them later on. ¡Muchísimas gracias!
Mine arrived today and I’m so excited!!! Thanks for a really straightforward & clear video. I can’t wait to get out in it and set it up!
Glad it was helpful!

By far the best Lanshan 2 pitching video on CZcams. Bought one today and I'm looking forward to using it. Great video.
Awesome, thank you!
Really helpful thank you - just bought one. Excellent tent space for the size and weight.
Ah man!!! You made this look so easy! Great video.
Thanks
This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video! Very helpful. I did a review video recently after using this tent in an all night rain/ thunderstorm.
Yeah, for some reason your thunderstorm video was on my recommend list hehe
I just ordered my lanshan 2 pro and I can't wait to get it.
Sweet! Hope you enjoy it
Nice, thank you... mine arrived today and this was super helpful.
Glad it helped
i just got this tent today. and omg man your video saved me, thanks alot!

Top tip! Always peg on line with the corner lines
Great tip!
Thanks for the knowledge 🌻
No problem
Works fine for you. Nice review.😃
Thanks for your comment I enjoy watching your videos as well stay safe sir
you are the best bro quick and easy step perfect video
Really helpful vid. Many thanks. What size stuff sack did you order?
Its a generic amazon basics stuff sack if i recall correctly. They come in a package of 3 different sizes and used the large one
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
Great video, thanks!
I need to figure out how you connected the guyline from the door to the top of the trekking poles to stake them together 👍🏽
Why would you want to do that?
Nice tent👍👍👍
Nice setup. Looked pretty quick too
It was!
Thanks for this. It came in the mail yesterday. How are the guy lines attached on the outer on the short side (where head/feat are). Mine came unattached and im trying to figure out the best way.
attach them the same way the elastic tie outs for tent inner are attached
Buenisimo video compadre! ya probaste la carpa en condiciones de vientos fuertes? Como lo pasò?
Ya, he acampado a casi 5,000m en la cabeza del Iztaccihuatl a menos 5 grados y con fuertes vientos en esa tienda y sin problemas.
Very nice! 👌

If I know I'm not camping on grass then I bring a ground sheet
Mine just arrived today, took it out of the original bag .. Fits perfect in a 10L dry bag...
Sweet!!
Thank you! I have the same problem with the original dry bag.. how many liters is the one you are using? Tks!!
I'm not sure since its not marked with measures anywhere in the packaging or Amazon description but I think it's probably around 6L
Have you cooked in the other vestibule? Is it ok and safe to do that. I use dehydrated meals and would run a jet boil for about 3 minutes.
Sure thing I mean you gotta use your judgement on those ones but yeah I usually cook on either vestibule ideally having the door a bit open to have some air going. No problems at all so far.
Buen video! Me interesa saber el espacio adentro. Pareciera muy justo. Cual es tu altura? Alguna vez tuviste problemas de condensacion tocando la pared interna con los pies? Saludos
Mido 1.72 m y no he tenido problemas de condensación, porque lo que podrías llegar a tocar es mosquitero no pared. Saludos!
How big was the new stuffsack in L . Great video
Around 5-6 L
Very good video thank you! How tall are you and what sleeping pad was that again? I think i want a wide inflatable pad
I'm not that tall I'm 5ft 9 inches. My pad is a thermarest neoair max which is 25 inches wide and I think 77inches long
Blueboy ultralight made an extensive video review on that specific pad
I have seen a couple of videos where this tent has ripped on top of the poles, I am wondering if there are different manufacturers of this tent some making good quality and some bad quality tents, or could it have been the user's didn't know how to erect it properly.
I’m thinking that’s more likely to happen if you place your poles upside down with the pointy part up
Many thanks!!!
You're welcome!
Hi, nice video! I have some question ... How tall are you? 🙂 I have 6,5 ft 😕 And how big is your dry sack? The inner tent is firmly connected to outer tent ? Thank you!
I am 5ft 8in (172cm) I think 180cm would be the limit for this tent. Try going for the pro version of the lanshan instead

All ultralight things are meant to be used responsibly or they get broken hehe just be smart on where you set it
Nice! Is this the 3 or 4 season? I'm really struggling to chose between the 3 season or 4 season...
3 seasons. I think go for the 3 seasons one and you can change the inner later on if needed
@@BowlineDandy Thanks! I'm from Canada and wont be doing any camping in the winter, but our fall and spring are way colder than let's say California so I dont know if the 3 season would be good at around 5c?
I’ve used this at around -5c just fine, it’s more important to have a good sleeping pad and quilt (or sleeping pad) to not have cold
A sleeping pad with and R value of 4 or higher would be something you’d really need, like that silver thermarest pad
Thanks so much for sharing* :-)
A pleasure :)
is your tent the grey or white? thanks for the great video
white
@@BowlineDandy thanks
You are correct their sack is Sh!+. Their instructions are Sh!+ as well thank you to you and Ice Bear for the videos.
No problem

This is Lanshan 2 Pro right ? also how tall are you ?
Not pro, just the regular one. Im 172cm tall
Great video, thanks! How tall are you? Would it fit someone (me) at 190cm with the sleeping bag not touching?
Im 175cm, the tent is 210cm long so if you set both side lines tight you could fit without touching, but depends on you pad height and sleeping bag loft of course
@@BowlineDandy Hmm then I might go for the new 3F UL "Pyramid / mid / noname“ you mentioned in the reddit comments. This seems a little too tight of a fit for my taste.
Awesome
thanks!
For not high persons is good, but I'm 178sm, and I touch by head and feet the inner tent too much = condensation
Makes sense
How hard is it to fold it back?
Not that hard but it has its own technique so it fits really well every time. I might make a video about it
does 2 people actually can feet there?
Yes
Ever used the extra guy ropes that come with the tent?
Aren’t they for hanging the tent?
Yeah they are useful when setting it with the inner mesh only so you can pitch your poles
Not something we get to do very often in England lol.
@@2FeetForward haha you're right, so for like 98% of use cases you can leave them at home and save those grams
@@BowlineDandy Could you explain how to set it up with the inner mesh only and no rainfly?
Is this tent for two people?
Yes 2 people with regular pads fit well but things have to be on the vestibules or for 1 can fit a long and wide pade and stuff inside so basically a mansion
This is 3F UL Gear Lanshan 2 PRO.
No
Sagging is the problem I never managed to handle well with this tent. That is why this tent went into a dumpster...
seems like you are not the sharpest tool in the shed
I want one of these so bad but alas, I’m 6’4 so I’m SOL
maybe you could check out the lanshan pro, apparently it accomodates taller people, i haven't tried it nor needed it since im 5'8''. Another good one you could test is the Duncan XMid 2. Cheers!
Bowline Dandy appreciate that. I have been looking and I may just suck it up and grab the Altaplex. Appreciate the videos. Keep it up. Cheers
great video. you can set up more tan me~
Thanks!
Its not free standing, semi or otherwise. The Lanshan isnt a free standing tent.
Yeah sorry English is not my main language and I also noticed that mistake when editing the video, what I meant is that with this method already setting the first pole it doesn't fall down as it usually happens with a bad pitch
If you camp in a forest and you don't have to pay, then it is free standing.
@@driewiel I see no flaws in that logic
Miguel Palau your English is better than most, no worries! Great job and God bless!
