3F UL Lanshan 2 | 4 Seasons | Tent Review | Ultralight Backpacking Gear

[@TeaInValhalla]

Afternoon Rachel! Cracking gear review very through and we know you have put if through is paces, an ideal tent for trail hikers IMO, thanks for your feedback and thoughts very help! 👍❤☕🏕 Hope you are well, catch up soon, Ceri and Kat ☕ 🧭 🗺

[@ramblingracheltrailtales]

Good afternoon Ceri and Kat. Thank you so much for watching. I'm not really a "gear review" kind of KZbinr but as I've had the tent for over a year, I thought why not, it won't hurt. I'm so pleased the clocks have sprung forward... might be time for a early evening walk shortly. Spring is on its way! xx

[@TeaInValhalla]

@@ramblingracheltrailtales yes evening more delightful daylight for enjoying greenspaces! We value good hinesy feedback and I think that comes across is buckets, your review will definitely help someone out with that question we all face at some point, should I or shouldn't I!? 🤔

[@solitaryrambler]

Nice to see you outdoors again Rachel. Hopefully you're much better now. Watched your Lake District videos a few days ago too. Camping beside Levers Water and waking up to that view....wow! Have a great week 😀👍

[@ramblingracheltrailtales]

Ah yes, the Coniston Fells are magnificent and that video was probably my favourite wild camp to date. I’m back there this weekend coming. Can’t wait! Thanks for watching. Do you have any vids coming out soon? X

[@solitaryrambler]

@@ramblingracheltrailtales Nice one, have a lovely time up there this weekend 👍I hope to get a new vid out before too long. Filmed a walk a week ago last Saturday, just need to edit it 😀

[@ramblingracheltrailtales]

Excellent, I look forward to watching it. Hopefully see you on a meet up soon x

[@backpacksandbruises]

Perfect timing Rachel, you heard my call for help 😆👍 thanks for sharing, helped so much. sue x

[@ramblingracheltrailtales]

Yeah that was convenient timing. Glad it helped. You’ll get the nack of it in no time x

[@stevenjones1797]

I’ve got one with the 2 season inner and love it. Had it out on Dartmoor on a windy night and despite the usual wind v trekking pole tent angst it did me proud

[@ramblingracheltrailtales]

That’s really good to hear. I think a lot of people are put off this tent because it looks peculiar & never a 100% symmetrical. But it has lived up to my expectations 😄

[@shuggiemcg1]

I've just bought this tent today looking forward to trying it out

[@ramblingracheltrailtales]

It’s a great tent, you won’t be disappointed.

[@jeanheys5327]

Great review! Love all the bird busy-ness in the background 😃

[@ramblingracheltrailtales]

Ha! Yes… my co-hosts were very vocal! 😆

[@davis7099]

I bought one in brown which I have used a few times. It does feel like a palace and I love the design. It is best on a well groomed pitch and not so handy when I back packed and found a lumpy pitch with thistles in the wind as the light was fading.. For that reason I will be going a little heavier and taking a free standing tent like the Mongar 2 ( 1.7kg in nylon version) next time. If you add the weight of the trekking poles to the tent there is little difference in weight. Anyway , I liked your video which was honest and interesting.

[@ramblingracheltrailtales]

Thanks for commenting. I regret selling it. It had so much space for the weight and cost. A bit fiddly in the beginning, there’s definitely a nack to these types of tents. I am a fan of the trekking pole tent but appreciate it’s not for everyone. Have a good weekend.

[@emz_adventure]

Evening Rachel. It's always nice to see kit reviews. I find it so helpful when deciding on what to buy. And the reasons people prefer certain bits of kit or what the like and dislike, so thanks for that. Really enjoyed your video x

[@ramblingracheltrailtales]

Hi Emz. I hope your well. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I’m always watching gear vids, adding to my ‘dream gear’ for camping list. However, this tent has been great for the money & ideal for a budget end camper. ☺️

[@debsmostexcellentadventure5353]

Watched this last night,lovely review,your tent is so tiny compared to my cobra mark 3 tent,and its something i need to do is lighten up my backpack.loved this have a lovely week and stay safe debs xx

[@ramblingracheltrailtales]

Hi ya! Thank you for watching. I hope your well. How many KGs is the Corba? I bet it’s a solid and reliable tent. Xx

[@debsmostexcellentadventure5353]

@@ramblingracheltrailtales i used it on my new years video,but i really need get lighter one,and i am not jokeing when i say my sleeping bag is a stone,so i really need to lighten up,and i am looking at your tent after your lovely review debs xx ps only thing need get are poles which is another thing i need get.debs xx

[@everyoneknowsadave3580]

i have exactly the same tent as well and i lurvs it … top tip is to use two sticks either on the side guy outs to pull the tent up and away creating even more room inside . the four season inner really works i measured the inside/ outside temperature on a chilly night and there was a 20F difference 46F / 26F 👍👍

[@ramblingracheltrailtales]

It does keep alot of heat in during the winter. I've only had it out in about minus 2/3 Celius... I have know idea what that is in imperial measurements. It has frozen solid in the really cold weather but it coped well. The only thing is, I don't always use two trekking poles when I'm out hiking and camping. But it is a very good tent and great value for money. Have a great weekend Dave! x

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Very comprehensive review Racheal and you cannot get much lighter that that for a tent. Nicely done setting up and a tab better than when you set it up in the garden lol. Funny how people come across on YT, I always thought you were quite tall and never guessed 5' 3" and to be honest, I would never use Ali Express. Good to see you out again and getting over the dreaded Covid, cheers Alan

[@ramblingracheltrailtales]

Cheers Alan. Covid was bloody awful and still not quite right but the fresh air of the Lakes is doing me the world of good. Thanks for commenting & tuning in. Have a great weekend 😎

[@ad33b749]

beautiful views and of course you look so gorgeous and beyond beautiful 🤩 the quality of the video is so clear i love enjoying it til the end thanks for sharing it’s your new friend here stay connected my friend

[@ramblingracheltrailtales]

Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it. 😎

[@NorwayHikesTrails]

Great review Rachel. You have a wonderful upcoming week. Wishing you atb.

[@ramblingracheltrailtales]

Hi ya, I should have mentioned that my idea of 4 seasons is only based on English weather. I can imagine your 4 seasons in Norway being much more extreme. Thank you for watching and commenting. x

[@davidmciver4311]

Great review Rachel. Just ordered one. Thanks.

[@adamtoutdoors6390]

Great gear review rachel. Love the tent. Ive got the same tent in the same colour. Glad your feeling better. ATB Adam 👍🏻👍🏻

[@ramblingracheltrailtales]

Hi Adam, I’m feeling much better now thank you. I haven’t been out properly this month and really missing it. Roll on the weekend! I’m off to the Lakes this weekend! 😃

[@eugeniotv5404]

,,watching here my friend.nice share.sending support.👍👍

[@Rob_outdoorz]

Great video. I have the Lanshan1 and absolutely love it. Considering buying a Lanshan2 for when I camp with my 2 boys

[@ramblingracheltrailtales]

The space inside is amazing. I regret selling it now!

[@cairnscrow8713]

I agree with the Ali Express comment. They took 3 months sending my cloud peak and customer service was bad. Outdoor gear essentials are a cracking and trustworthy company. Delta pegs reliability can't be beat imo. I'm not a Lanshan fan but they have a place and nice review Rachel 👍🏼

[@ramblingracheltrailtales]

Hi ya, thanks for watching and commenting. I understand why people use Ali Express but it's hit and miss. In future, I'll spend my money at a reliable retailer. I have been tempted to purchase the new Naturehike Cloud Up 2 tent, but I don't really need it. I need to stop looking at everyone else's tents! lol x

[@Romulos1]

I like your review and admire your knowledge. thank you for the info

[@ramblingracheltrailtales]

Thank you ☺️ it’s a great tent.

[@GillianSmith]

I have this tent too, in the same colour also! this is good and fair review. Excellent Rachel! many thanks, enjoyed watching 👍

[@ramblingracheltrailtales]

Thank you Gillian. I’ve tried to give an honest review based on my experiences. It’s a great tent for the cost. X

[@BravestoneHikes]

Wonderful review. I would want to purchase some better stakes / pegs for sure. I loved the idea of the additional line to hang things, Brilliant!

[@ramblingracheltrailtales]

Hi ya 👋 The original steaks are ok, I managed to pitch it with them in this video but it is frustrating when they fly out at the slightest bit of tension. Thank you for watching and have a good week 😊

[@theheightoflife]

Hi Rachel!! 👋🏻 Great review and great to see you out doing it for us 😊 Looks like a real cool tent and you told us everything we needed to know, very informative 👌🏻 Love all the different angles too showing a lot of the features etc... Nice one! Love the extra guy line mod too 👏🏻 Hope you're good 😃 ATB.. Chris 😊👍🏻🙏🏼🏕💚 X

[@ramblingracheltrailtales]

Cheers Chris. I enjoyed filming this one. A bit different from my other content but felt the Lanshan deserved a video of its own. It has served me well. Thanks for watching. I hope you’ve managed to get out this weekend and enjoy the nice weather. Now the evenings are getting lighter, means more hiking time! ☺️

[@theheightoflife]

@@ramblingracheltrailtales Yes definitely and you did it very proud. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get out, hence my latest very short update video. But im hoping to be able to get out very soon! Weather is definitely getting better so really hope to be out in the hills and mountains asap 😊🙏🏼

[@atrampinthehills.841]

Hello Rachel...well done, nice review

[@ramblingracheltrailtales]

Hello 👋 thanks for tuning in. 😀

[@chrisjakeman9059]

Great review I have the 1 and 2 and think there great for the money .

[@ramblingracheltrailtales]

Totally agree. I wouldn’t mind purchasing the Lanshan 1 as well, I usually only walk with one pole these days. Thank you for tuning in. 😀

[@ACumbrianladoutdoors]

Hi Rachel, great review, like you say always wise to practice with kit before heading out on the fells 👍 I've been wanting a lanshan for a while now for summer use and a bit more room inside and good vestibule space. at 6ft 3 I may need the XL of that is an option 🤣 all in all a great tent that won't break the bank, thanks for sharing, catch you soon, atb Paul 🙏🏕️🏕️🏕️😁

[@ramblingracheltrailtales]

Yeah this won’t suit you at all! There’s definitely advantages to being a shorty lol! Thanks for tuning in 😀

[@GETtwoIT]

Great video and very informative. Thanks for taking the time to review.

[@ramblingracheltrailtales]

Hi 👋 thanks for watching and commenting. I hope you’ve had a good weekend. 😀

[@StepsbyKaatje]

It's great that it's a 4-season tent for a reasonable weight,... Which does makes a difference when it's cold! 😁 Good review Rachel! And your pretty fast at pitching it! 😊 All the best! Kaat

[@ramblingracheltrailtales]

Hi Kaat, thanks for watching. It’s good in the cold weather but not strong winds. I’m happy with it. 😀

[@tonysoutdoorlife]

great video Rachel

[@ramblingracheltrailtales]

Cheers Tony, thanks for watching x

[@southcoastoutdoorsuk6301]

Cracking review well presented and all the points nice one and many thanks to mentioning my store much appreciated ( outdoor gear essentials) 🙏🙏🙏

[@ramblingracheltrailtales]

Your welcome. 😄

[@WoodsideWalker]

Great review. I'm still not sold on it, but looking forward to seeing one in person

[@ramblingracheltrailtales]

It’s kept me warm & dry plus it’s very spacious on the inside. However I don’t always walk with two poles which is a bit annoying having to carry the extra weight. I’m quite keen to try one of the Naturehike tents.

[@GENerationXplorers]

Great gear review Rachel! Loved how small and compact it is! Titanium Tent pegs! 😱 loved the garden shot, mine would probably look like that on every attempt! 10 minutes setup is good going! Some incredible extra tips for people too, washing lines, pockets, etc. found this really detailed! Have an awesome week! ♥️

[@ramblingracheltrailtales]

Hello 👋 Thanks for tuning in. It’s a fab budget end tent, can’t complain 😌 I hope you’ve had some good adventures this weekend and if not, I’m sure you’ve got some good ones planned. 🙂

[@GENerationXplorers]

@@ramblingracheltrailtales was an awesome video, you included so much detail, think this will appeal to new and old campers alike! Spot on ♥️

[@welshfireoutdoors]

Great review I just bought the lanshan 1 currently seamsealing it

[@ramblingracheltrailtales]

Hi 👋 Good idea, from what I hear, all Lanshans new seam sealing. It’s quite an easy job and gives you peace of mind.

[@linedwell]

Did anyone else see the ghost in the background at 2:40? Spooky dooky... 👻

[@ramblingracheltrailtales]

Haha I didn’t notice it til now…. Probably just a dog walker lol! Thanks for tuning in 😊

[@linedwell]

@@ramblingracheltrailtales shhhh don't tell anyone.. ghost hunters will click to see and you'll get more views.. lol. 🤪

[@SetForAdventures]

Cracking review 😊🙏🏼👍 Rachel I’m old skool and use a force ten by vango (bomb proof)!but it’s heavy and bulky but this is something I do fancy as I always carry poles ! And 1kg with pegs wow 🤩 Thanks again and best wishes Simon 👍😊⛺️

[@ramblingracheltrailtales]

Cheers Simon, glad the review was helpful. I do really like this tent but appreciate its not for everyone. Thank you for watching. 😄

Hello 👋 thanks for watching. Have a great weekend 😊

[@user-wv5xl7mc3k]

Thanks for the review! Have you camped in cold, snowy or humid conditions? If so, how have you found the condensation?

[@ramblingracheltrailtales]

Yes, I camped in it, all four seasons, including up in the Lake District. Very happy with how it performed. Great ventilation in the summer with both side doors open. Condensation was present on some occasions but nothing major, condensation happens. I'd avoid extreme weather including strong winds and severe rain. It's not going to perform like a Hilleberg, but for the price, it's very good.

[@rorysmith7211]

Hi Rachel thanks for the video. Just wondering if you're still using your Lanshan now 2 years on from the video, and if so how well is it holding up? Cheers

[@ramblingracheltrailtales]

Hi Rory, I made the mistake of selling and regret it now. I now have a couple of single pole trekking tents, which are very good. But the Lanshan 2 was so light and incredibly spacious in comparison. It’s a cracking tent for the money.

[@NorthwalesBushcrafters]

Great little tent ⛺️ 👍 ATB Trev

[@ramblingracheltrailtales]

Yeah, I'm pleased with it. It's served me well for over a year now. Thanks for watching. x

[@traceywilliams6119]

How do you get on in summer with a 4 season inner .thanks

[@ramblingracheltrailtales]

Hi, I no longer have the Lanshan, and I regret selling it. Brilliant tent. The summer was fine. As you can open the vestibules on both sides, it’s good for ventilation. I have since bought a different trekking pole but very similar to the Lanshan 1 😀

[@antonslegers9888]

Hi! Would there be a reason to buy the 3 season version over the 4 season version?

[@ramblingracheltrailtales]

Main difference is the inner mess, it is thicker and the thicker mess section runs much higher up on the inner material. It’s quite hard to explain without a picture but it would had a little extra warmth in the colder months.

[@racheld1844]

I’m always interested in other tents that are on the market. You did a great job on reviewing this tent and you’d be great at reviewing other kit you like (or don’t like) I have an alpkit soloist and for now it’s been good but always wonder what I’d replace it with 🤔 😀 Hope you manage to get out again on a camp soon 🏕

[@ramblingracheltrailtales]

Hi 👋 It’s been a great tent for the budget end camper. Maybe one day I’ll upgrade but I’m happy with it and serves the purpose. Thank you for watching and commenting, I appreciate it 😃 Hoping to do some camping next weekend! I hope the weather holds up. X

[@saxoncrow2500]

Hi I have my 3 season lanshan and was wondering is it worth buying the four season or will a decent sleep system suffice? Great vid 😊

[@ramblingracheltrailtales]

Mmm, maybe. I personally think the money is better spent on a good four season sleeping bag and a sleeping pad with a high r rating.

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

Decent review Rachel, I like this tent myself but I believe there are better options out there. That being said no tent is perfect. Glad you’re over Covid, I had it pretty bad a few months back. Definitely not fun!

[@ramblingracheltrailtales]

Hi ya, thanks for watching. I would like a tent that doesn’t require trekking poles but undecided on what to go for. I’m hoping to bivvie & tarp camping will happen when it gets warmer ☺️

[@CampLifeBushcraft]

@@ramblingracheltrailtales if you use a tarp and a ground sheet a bivi is really not necessary. It’s just more to carry. I tarp all year round with no bivi. It’s fine 😁

[@kevinoshea2870]

Great vid

[@ramblingracheltrailtales]

Thank you Kevin 😀

[@glennfoster5431]

Is it good in wind and rain

[@ramblingracheltrailtales]

Yes but I did seam seal. Never had an issue with water getting in.
