The tent is a copy of the Lanshan! So if you want a more solid inner buy the "Lanshan, 4 season" inner tent for the Lanshan 1 or 2 person tent.

Hiya Kev. I throughly enjoyed this one. I think you said only one person you saw all the time pn the walk. The waterfalls looked great and beautiful drone images. It must have been good because you said it's probably your favourite walk this year. Brilliant👌👍 Thanks for this one, makes me want to go😁👋

Brilliant review Kev Very useful👌👏👏👍

Bivys are confining , can be claustrophobic ( my ex hated hers ) and really constrictive if you toss and turn at night just to get to the comfortable spot you like to fall asleep . Gave mine away after 1 try ....

Good review! Nice little tent, but I'd still choose the Phoxx ll V2 over this!

Very nice stuff 👌

Hi Kev, it does look great, but I agree it's a bit pricey :)) I like the system, though. I have 2 Thermarest blankets that I can attach the same way as a quilt to the sleeping mats (single and duo), they are useful in milder weather. I've been thinking about getting a quilt for cold weather too, but wouldn't want to spend a fortune :D Thanks for the tips.

Cracking setup there Kev. Could see you were miserable at first before you got the bivi and bag on the go 😆 but was worth the pain in the end. Cheers 👌🏻

I came back to this to see if you had answered a question but can see the dreaded "where the eck" has the comment gone scenario has happened..lol. Anyway, re the camera - at the time I was looking to replace my old go pro and hearing you say you use an action 4 I could see from the shadow you appear to have a mic attached - is it a dji mic or a rode, if its a rode I wonder can you attach and record to it using the action 4? I see you have watched Daves 1st ep of the Cambrian way - it's a great series and I reckon sometime in the next few days he should be finishing the walk (spoiler alert, lol) He records on the go and if you see he released that video 5 days ago - yet I commented on it 13 days ago... 😉 atb Al

I would love to use the app but It will not allow me to change my units from metric to standard. Tried and tried but won't allow me. So frustrating

Interesting quilt But pricey for what it is I like the feel of a sleeping bag between me and the mat Cheers

Great company with quality products. But good God the price tag on some of their products! I've easily got 5 figures invested into their gear. 😫

Thanks for the great comparison!

I have nearly 50 years hiking including mountaineering including professionally. Q. What is the obsession with using a tarp, trekking poles and bicycles bag and ‘quilts’, A. They are a fad. Whilst bobby bags are a great emergency bobby item this combination is cold, inefficient and heavy. Seems to be a UK and Yankee thing.

great vid kev

Looks great. I have a Snukpak jungle blanket. Not quite as warm as that but still great and also water resistant and breathable. Plus it’s only £43 😁

Surely everyone just fully unzips their sleeping bag? Like they have done since they were in cubs ?

Out of stock,lol....

Pretty epic landscape there Kev 👌🏻

4:41 Perfect demonstration for no go! Awful, you don't want to do that every night! (at least I don't)

still using v1 and have no problems with the size , I am 6ft. It is v low profile and in olive green very discreet ! it is purely for sleeping !

Buy the poles seal the seems ? Just buy a tent

Love that place Kev. Love a bit of solitude on a walk and great find with the waterfall 👌

Hi Kev, thanks for sharing this video (only found it recently). I have to say... New goal unlocked: camp out and then go to work right after. Best way to start the day in a good mood. Cheers! ah yes, the cider: I don't have a favourite one (yet?!), but I'm partial to dry / extra dry ones. If you ever go to Warwickshire, Napton Cidery in Napton-on-the-Hill has some good ones. Not sure they can compete with the Devon ones though :)

Amazing discovery, Walking Kev! 🌲💧 The secret crags and hidden waterfalls in the South Wales Valleys look absolutely enchanting. Your adventure really uncovers some hidden gems in the Welsh countryside! 🏞✨

Looks like a great trip 👍🙂

Gorge ous!

Loved the video. Thanks Kev.😊

Lovely intro and filming Kev... fabulous looking crag. I would imagine the flattened area below it was where the spoil tip was and over the years nature has reclaimed it... below you I am guessing might have been shale ? The auhority of most waterfalls in the South Wales Valleys (and beyond) is a gentleman by the name of Martin Ress. He has wriiten a few books compiling lists and if they have a name he will most likely know it. He is a BB warden and is on IG & Twitter. He's welsh speaking and will undoubly help you with anything re waterfalls/ pronounciations etc... I have found him to be most helpful. Loved the light on Graig Fawr as you stood there.. hope you got a shot of it I have walked in that area but not that immediate area - more northerly but know the area you parked I think. Also, if looking for camping spots someone else who knows the valleys very well is my mate Morgs - the guy I spoke to you about nefore. He has done a few overnigters in this area... he is currently on Day 11 of the Cambrian Way - he released the opening video today - he was meant to be doing the Haute route in Northern Spain but 3 days in had to abandon becuase of illness. atb Al

Had my Col for years and I've just spent a week in it in Scotland . Sadly, it's coming to the end of its life now but ill be seeking a replacement as close to it as i can get . The best feature for me is that you can assemble and peg it out in two minutes all in a standing position without crawling around in the mud .

Well done. I just bought one.

Hi Kev , fantastic video of this little walked and remote hill. The drone footage and views from the summit were amazing. I often walk the lesser known Beacons hills and get off the tourist path , completely agree with you it’s great seeing the mountains from different angles and perspectives. Your route looked exhausting! I’m glad I’m not the only one who gets exhausted and energy sapped going through the long stuff off piste, I thought I was just unfit lol When I get round to this one I’m going to walk it from the West (Ystradfellte) side and go along the crags edge I think .. Nice also to know I’m not the only one who sometimes can’t get motivated to go (often tired or busy) or thinks of many reasons not to , but when you’re there it makes sense. That resonated with me. Fantastic camp sport, enjoyed! Best wishes Adam

Do the vegetables come free with the tent ??? Great tent !!! Great review 👍👍👍

Love that tent Kev 👌❤️ Were you on the hills above Senghenydd?

Good overview. I see they have a lighter version, just under 2kg.

I slept with a similar tent that I pitched inner only it was great seeing the moon and stars but the dew still got my sleeping bag damp. Next time I did similar but with a light cover over my sleeping bag so all good until woken by gentle drizzle washing my face at 6am 😂

Seems like a great tent for the money Kev and great idea to stargaze if that’s your thing but I wouldn’t rely on weather apps for a clear night you’d have to be prepared to get the fly up quickly Looks really wide for definitely 2 people and saves buying a 3 person tent to accommodate 2 Very interesting review Regards Jeff

It happens, nice vid. You handled it well, like a champ. Keep looking forward brother!

I have this bivvy and love it , Its solid built bigger than youd think and one of the best out there imho . Part of the problem with bivvy bags is the user they come from tent backround stuff sitting all around them in the tent room to sit up etc . It requires a different aproach you now dont need all that stuff so theres nothing sitting around you and you sit up outside ( a small tarp or even polythene sheet is perfect for this ) Getting in and put is actually a dawdle dont load ypur sleeping bag the lengh of the bivvy bundle it at the head stand in it and shuffle in pefect fit every time . The puter bit at head folds back over the hoop so doesnt hang on your face . All that said if i was out n abt for more than two days and it looked like id be spending a lot of time under cover id opt for a tent but for a quick deploy shelter guaranteed to keep you warm n dry this bivvy is as good as it gets others have other features but this has the correct combination Of lightness hydrostatic head and simplicity . The pack size and weight is a huge plus Its tiny . If your over 16 stone and 6,5" forget it though It will be like a sock Othermanufacturers make larger bivvys Get one of those or a one man tent . I have no idea why you would buy a bivvy that isnt waterproof might aswell sleep outside in sleeping bag under a tarp 🤷

The best hiking camera is OM 5, Its a very light weight and full waterproof.

Just a caution with this brand - I purchased a similar model of jacket, a Verge Extreme, which has similar specs to this one. When I went to leave a review, I found that reviews were all 5 star and reviews are only allowed by invitation from the company. I sent an inquiry to provide a review, and got no reply. My verge jacket, rated to 20,000 mm head pressure, wetted out after less than an hour in normal moderate rainfall and subsequently wetted out in under 5 minutes in a heavy rainfall.

Great video Kev, looked like a great hike to the camp spot. Really like the look of the Lanshan 2 , always been tempted to get one ...

Farmers take the payments for access land and I'm grateful to have access land but so often these spots are underused and overgrown!

Good stuff Kev, nice chilled out vid 👌🏻 I’m enjoying my Lanshan 1, considering the 2 but trying to justify it in my head. Sheep trails are super handy right enough I agree! 🐑 ⛰️

Great upload Kev, went up there a few months back, fab views like you say.

Amazing sharing. I would like to know how it performs in low light. The tropical area of zoo, where there isn’t enough light. Would it be able to capture sharp photos of small as well as big creatures (covering a distance of 1-15 m roughly)? Would you recommend this or some other bridge / point & shoot camera? Thx in advance.

Great vid Kev. I did a walk and video to that trig point but came at it from a different angle. Great view at 12:20 with that rain cloud 👌

Nice chilled out camping spot😁

If you come back to the same point a few times, your tent will flatten the grass eventually! Do you ever wear gaiters? It seems most UK you tuber wild campers don't. But gaiters would be the thing for those higher thicker wet pastures or heathers. (In NZ, almost all hikers wear gaiters - except our overseas visitors.) 😃

Wow, did I get your route wrong.... you really went "off piste" to get there. When you crossed the river I was thinking, where the eck are you then realised the possible route you had taken Looking at your face @ 7:56 I could see the agony of that trek - I think there is a time for exploring and to be honest it wasn't with a full backack of camping gear...lol. After your found that pitch and showed the timelapse you really made the viewer want to be pitched up there too (well me anyway) When I was there with my mate a few months ago we said it was deffo a location to get back to so seeing this it has only reaffirmed that. The river of course is the Afon Hepste which flows on to become one of the most visited rivers in the Brecon Beacons - its the river that provides he waterfalls Sgwd yr Eira (falls of snow) Great wading at the end.. top man !! Good watch Kev. atb Al
