I have the Lanshan 2 as well and also like it a lot. The only thing I don't like, at 6'1", is I often wake up with damp feet as the touch the slope of the fly sheet.

@karltubbritt8991 4 года назад

Great video. I recomend to buy the winter inner and footprint for the lanshan 2. And to use small aircraft aliminium carbinners on the guy ropes from the trekking poles. Just to extend the life of the tabs due to friction of the rough and toigh cordage. Can't wait to see you out again and I hope with Nathan. Oh I would love to see a collabration with you and Ash outdoors. Take care and be safe. Xxx

Well you do have a good selection... I have one off brand budget tent I bought several years ago and it seems to work well enough but to ensure that I stay dry the last couple time I used it I set it up between some trees and ridge lined a tarp over it... A little more piece of mind in the rain and it gives me a bit of porch to keep the sun off and sit under... Looking forward to your next wild camp Trev...

I'm just thinking yours must be an earlier model. I also use a Nevis 200 which is a great little tent and feels slightly roomier than the Banshee and is a similar design as the wind country Zephyros with one main pole. Thanks for the video.

@tornadokat 4 года назад

Regarding the statement about tarps "you can't close off one of these", yes you can. There are dozens of ways to configure a tarp including some that make it completely enclosed. It's even possible to have part of the tarp as a floor. Plenty of good videos on RU-vid showing ways to set up a tarp.

@cairnscrow8713 4 года назад

Great review Trev. After watching most of your wild camp expeditions it became glaring obvious that Nath's moral was slowly taking a battering and I assumed it was the night/ sleep comfort to blame. I think when remedied this will make a 'massive' difference. Good luck with the long haul hike and please span two days! We need you up and fit to roll the week after ha ha... plus the video might be longer, don't forget to take a Dartmoor Legend if you do an overnight :)

@SummitOrNothing 4 года назад

I think you're right, a lot of Nath's dissatisfaction probably did come from the tarp camping, among other things. Hopefully if he tries a tent, things may change a little for him. I am still aiming for Dartmoor in a day, but will see on the day.. I keep getting knocked confidence wise a little recently, so really hoping I havent bitten off more than I can chew. Thanks for watching!

Tarps are excellent for creating temporary and quick shelters such as tents, pool cover, car cover, pet housing, and livestock housing. For high-quality poly tarps, visit our RU-vid channel and website. Our Tarps Quality: ? U.V. treated. ? 100% waterproof due to the solid polyethylene coating. ? Mildew proof, tear-resistant, and acid-resistant. ? Manufactured with top quality resin. ? ALL made with a solid and sealed poly coating on both sides of the tarp. ? Grommets built-in along the perimeter of the tarp. ? Poly tarps have arctic flexibility. ? Capable to withstand freezing temperatures and not become hardened. ? Made from high-grade polyethylene.

@davids9549 4 года назад

Lanshan 1 Pro (for gentler conditions). 700g plus stakes and trekking pole. £100. Really pleased with mine, (so far) - used it for stealth camping in the woods during the current hysteria. For harsher conditions, another 'mid', the Luxe Hexpeak V4A plus a suitable AliExpress inner. About £160 total, under 1.1kg plus stakes and trekking pole. A bit fiddly to setup but this has kept me safe and comfortable in nasty weather for the last 5 years. Still looking for a freestanding option - was tempted by the Naturehike Vik 1 but less so after your excellent review! Top contender is the Tarptent Scarp 1 but it's not a budget option (although not the most expensive either).

@henrybowden9907 4 года назад

I used to have a Vango Banshee 200 but I didn't like it. The build quality was good but I'm 6'2" and the tent was too short. If I had rain overnight I would wake up with either wet feet or a wet head so I got rid and replaced it (after considerable research) with another Vango - but I bought a Tempest 200 and that definitely is long enough. I like this tent and I've spent many a comfortable night in it. I plan to keep using it for several more years. I agree with your comment about the tent's stuff sack: I don't have to struggle to get the tent into it. My only criticism is that the tent is a shade too low at its highest point so that when I sit up inside it my head brushes the top of the inner. However, I don't get wet as the gap between the inner and the fly is big enough, I hope that has been addressed with the newer models.

@SummitOrNothing 4 года назад

Cheers Henry - a lot of people have said the same about the Banshee being a short tent, so good to know that the Tempest is better suited for the taller person. I am looking to upgrade the Vango, so may throw Tempest into the consideration, but yes, I know what you mean about them being low tents. Thanks for watching!

My tents Marmot Force 1p. 2lb packed ultra light for long hikes and multi day backpacking. Small tent. Sierra Designs Meteor Lite 2p. Great 2p tent for single or two day backpacking. About 4lbs packed. Marmot Fortress 3p. 3 plus season tent tuat is a full fabric canopy. 7lbs packed. This is my absolute favorite tent for colder nights and for car camping. Way more durable that most backpacking tents. Marmot UpHigh 2p. 5lb packed mountineering tent. Great winter tentm breaks pretty much all wind chill. Fantastic for winter, late fall and early spring. Poor ventilation though and I would not use it in summer. Marmot Orbit 4p. Huge heavy 18lb car camping tent. Like 80sqft for car camping and allows people to fully stand up. Huge vestibule front porch. Use it with the family. Marmot Mantis 3p. We use this wierd tent for some car camping and for concerts, festivals etc. 7lb tent and has a front porch area.

How did he lose his enthusiasm for camping using a tarp? I'm not judging of course, each to their own, it's like marmite to some and others it's something to become accustomed to. The short clip I saw didn't look very comfortable, I don't remember noticing a groundsheet and hope he used a bivvy. I have the superlight with a groundsheet, though finding my way to a decent one (bought some polycro, but may use tyvek or something else). Said polycro was bought in three sheets so I'm planning on trying some for a front window/door, too. The second pole to the rear can be external and I've found the DD magic carpet (neve seemed durable or waterproof) can be pegged using the rear two pegs alongside the tent if that makes sense, and the top reaches the pole. I'm yet to explore more with it but having it for a good while, I'm very very excited about it all except for midgies, so a separate inner sheet/groundsheet may do well for the summer. I also love how the grosgrain tie outs are kinda short but also have loops external and internal, very versatile for any use. So it may be good for a groundsheet to be lifted for a bathtub floor.its also good for an extremely low pitch

@Ra-zor 4 года назад

Nice review video! Most bases covered there... My Coleman Darwin 2 has been a solid tent for £42, and stood up to a medium battering in the woods on several over night adventures in windy wet and one snowy condition. It's not a Banshee in terms of solid wind resistance (they can take quite a lot before the poles fold as Dartmoor demonstrated to me a few years back), but its also a third the price, water tight and 2.5kg (so only 500g more) and great for wild camping in woodland/corners of fields etc and a cracking little first time/casual overnighter tent, also good in snow as it does not collect on the roof. Easy to paint too with fabric paint if the urge takes you (black/green theme anyone lol)...

Our last trip was Crinkle Craggs, Bowfell and wild camp at Angle Tarn. Good fun, but tiring. I had, well still do have a Vango Spectre 200 which was not the lightest tent, but did the job well. Another simple dome tent worked too, when we all went I'll probably buy a new tent next year, there seems more choice nowadays and quite good prices too. Is it me ... or is backpacking getting more popular now, judging by the number of RU-vidrs doing it ? Regards from Whitley Bay

BASICALLY: budget tension tents: 3F UL; budget free-standing tents: Naturehike! One budget Chinese tent configuration that doesn't get anywhere near enough attention & love is the 3F UL 3-person tipi pyramid (variation of the WickiUp / Shangri-la) that uses two walking sticks & a connector or buy a pole for it. The fly can be bought for £100 and is about 800 grams, add in a single-person inner (about £40 & 500 grams) and you have for under a kilo and a half and uner £150 a mansion (160 cm inside) vast storage & cooking area and you can swap the inners for summer & winter camping.

Hi Trev, thanks for interesting and informational reviews helped me to buy a second tent just Getting back to camping, First tent last year, was a second hand Berghaus Grampian 2. Quickly found not totally suitable for Malaysia conditions, not a lot of ventilation for 80% humidity and 24C overnight (all year round). From your reviews on Naturehike Cloud up and Star river I decided to upgrade a little bit and get a naturehike Mongar 2, very happy with it, 2.2kg with footprint the inner tent is mainly mesh which will be great for warm, humid and raining night's. No issues with cold nights here. Plus very good local prices for Naturehike gear, £80 for the Mongar 2.

@SummitOrNothing 4 года назад

Ah that's great, Dave - really glad to have helped. I haven't tried a Mongar yet - but I'm sure that its as good as the others. Thanks for watching and commenting!

@DaveTucker-vv4co 4 года назад

@@SummitOrNothing In Kuala Lumpur we have just gone back into covid lockdown, so cannot get out to put the Mongar tent to use, but will be heading to the East Coast beaches ASAP. One other good thing about the Mongar tent that it is symmetrical, just put it up, no colour code for poles, ground sheet, fly and inner to mess around with.

I think I just tied mine off to the rear window in the end - it did make all the difference though. Failing that I guess if you are any good with a sewing set you could attach a loop or something and seam seal it afterwards?

@SummitOrNothing 4 года назад

Well, mine are actually handed down from Nath - OEX ones - reasonably priced, but I try to walk without them to be honest, although have used them occasionally. They frustrate me on mountain trails, I remember Ben Nevis everyone had them and they got in the way trying to pass people!

I did the west Highland way last year, and honestly just found a stick to walk with and loved it so much I took it the whole way. Now I'm on the look out for a slightly more permanent solution, ie trekking poles, but there seems so much choice and variation. I'm sold on the idea now though.

@SummitOrNothing 4 года назад

The tarp shelter - I need to investigate some different ways of putting them up though - then it would be a toss up between the Cloud Up 2 and the anshan... it all depends on the poles you carry for the Lanshan weight... watch this vid if you haven't already! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oBfOV1IcWyY.html

LanShan 1 Pro is a good start, 700 grams and a tiny package, but quite spacious inside. If you don't use a walking stick a 6-Moons pole is another 50 grams.

Close to 2.5kg trail weight, and almost a grand, to sweat your bollocks off for 99% of most people's use with them. They're an incredible tent for winter summit assaults (which maybe 1 in 50 owners actually do) and a poseur's sauna the rest of the year.

Very curious about the super light tarp. But then wonder if by adding a groundsheet/bug net/inner tent would it actually save me much weight vs the OEX Lynx EV 1 (1.6kg) that I'm yet to use beyond the garden. There are a number of ways to pitch the tarp as a sealed tent though, as shown by this bloke: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-L8lw64__n8M.html
