How to get the perfect pitch for the Lanshan 1 with mods and tips to increase space and usability.

[@Morphaplasm]

After cycle camping around... cough...splutter 40 years a go, I am waiting PATIENTLY... for my Lanshan 1, 4 season tent to arrive for my new adventures, wild camping on the Isle of Wight as a starter before I escape to the mainland for some dream treks up in the welsh valleys! Just got my Osprey Rook back pack, lightweight sleeping mat, Trangia cooking stove, heading on its journey from Sweden...I cannot describe how excited I am just to do my first night wild camp night! I love KZbin as this platform has given me so much inspiration to me to just get on with it!

[@devmind-ua]

Excellent simple trick with a tracking pole to get sides a bit higher. Thanks for sharing!

Glass fibre poles also work for head and foot end. Two sections of pole from some old tent.

[@NoviceWildCamper]

Yeah you can use anything really. Even any old sticks you find laying around 👍

[@RacerXSeattle]

If you take a stick or another short pole you can use it for the back pullout similar to the use of the trekking poles on the side - and it helps pull away the back wall and opens up the interior.

[@NoviceWildCamper]

True but I don't find that an issue as its the deepest pojnt inside. Plus it would mean carrying a third pole if you were somewhere like dartmoor where I spend most of my time as there are no stick ls there at all but yes you could and it would add a little more room.

[@NeeD-Meet]

@@NoviceWildCamper Having a camp in a forest or by it we always have a good chance to find 3 ecosticks made of natural branches and use them to support additional tent tension. I do it regularly. And no tracking poles are needed!

[@NoviceWildCamper]

This is true, however I do most of my camping on dartmoor and there are no sticks at all and no breaking of woodland allowed due to strict rules. Thanks.

Third option would be to dig a small 2-3 inch hole under your carbon rod to lower the height.

[@OldFellaDave]

I have the Lanshan 2 and have Trekking Poles to use for the main support poles. What I like to do for the side pullouts is to look around for a few Y shaped sticks that are just under hip height on me. I then do the same as you have done with trekking poles to pull the sides out and give some great extra space inside. I hike in the Aussie bush so a few handy Y shaped sticks are always lying around everywhere you go ;) Great tips, might get that ZPacks bullnose clip ... since one of my plastic ones is already broken, and those little bungie cords look handy, I think I'll pinch that idea as well Cheers! :)

[@NoviceWildCamper]

Thanks David. That's what I do the videos for, to give people ideas to help themselves improve the set up. Yes I'd use stick on the outer likes too but I generally tent to camp on dartmoor and it is totally bereft of any kind of sticks. You could find them in the small woodland areas but they are all protected and you can't camp in them. 👍

[@Mickoutdoors]

When God doesn't want you to make a video 😂😂 geat mod video Mike, best I've seen, I'm currently very tempted to buy this tent from camperlists, as I type I can currently get it with all discounts including the vid review 20% off for about 80 quid including shipping, that's with the 3 season inner, so in your opinion would you still buy this tent and would you (if only a choice of 1 inner) go with the 3 or 4 inner? I'll probably use it more in summer but maybe occasionally winter, I'm probably gonna answer my own question here, but I'm thinking the 4 inner might be a condensation nightmare in summer ? Anyway cheers for a year of great vids and wishing you and yours a great Xmas Mike 🎄 😊

[@NoviceWildCamper]

Cheers mick. I love this tent and still use it regularly. I'd use it all the time tbh but I've had to review others as well so haven't as much as I normally would. If I had to chose 1 inner I'd go for the 4 season. I doubt you'll get any more condensation inside as it's normally when it's cold out and warm in that it forms so shouldn't be an issue plus let's face it, the British weather is rarely that warm. I've never had an issue with condensation in the four season and would only use the 3 season in really warm weather tbh. Hope you have a great Xmas too 👍

Around the 11 minute mark I go through it in detail. I don't do different things with the pole, just different things to the set up.

[@chagas99z]

Useful, thanks. I have a Lanshan 1 Pro and been learning the best way to pitch. 2 questions - why not use bungie cord on the footprint too? And what was the effect on setup of the rebar cover on the top of the pole? (I made my own CF pole and 3D printed a rounded top and flat base). I’ve also found a peg at the base of the pole helps make the zip run better on the mesh door as the peg holds the bathtub more firmly.

[@NoviceWildCamper]

I didn't use a bungee on the footprint as with string it's fixed in its shape and size so will always lay correctly. The rebar end simply spreads the pressure point as I had a pole go through the roof of another tent. The carbon pole o have has a male end which goes through the grommet at the base of the bathtub so holds it down when zipping etc. Cheers for watching 👍

Excellent thanks, so I imagine most of tips like laying out footprint first, etc will all apply to the Lan....2 pro as well. Ref the bungee on bathtub, 30cm, presuming measurement is a relaxed piece of bungee, but is it 30cm length looped and tied, or a 60cm length. Great idea, also where did you get bungee do you have a link. Thank you, very good video.

[@NoviceWildCamper]

Just 3mm bungee of ebay. 30cm when relaxed loose. Yes it will work for lanshan 2 as well.

[@Northern_Rockhopper]

I’ve just sold the lanshan 1 pro.. never used it. There’s just something about it I didn’t like. Whether it’s the fact I had to seam seal it myself or the Mickey Mouse string to adjust the corners, I just didn’t have confidence in it. Although I’ve just bought the lanshan 1 plus it looks like it’s massively improved to the previous model.

[@NoviceWildCamper]

The pro being single skin is annoying having to seam seal it however there is the obvious weight saving but also the impending condensation issue that comes with it. I love the plus as you get the size of the pro for a slight weight disadvantage but the benefit of no seam sealing or condensation problems. 👍

Try a couple of carbon arrows from an archery shop, they should give sufficient height, a nock (tip at the top end) of the choice you want to pass the line through/over/around, and a pointy end for the ground, at very little by way of weight.

[@NoviceWildCamper]

I'd be concerned by their strength though specially with a join. My 16mm pole just survived in high wind and I originally had a 12mm carbon pole which bowed completely when the tent was tensioned. They may work well for my end guy out extensions though if I'm not taking trekking poles 👍

[@markl2815]

Hi again, I’ve got the 1 plus and have used it a few times now. I just got the 4 season T door inner (given the time of year) and wondered how different you found it for condensation ? My trial so far seems to tell me … a lot more condensation with that inner. Having said that, I can’t be certain how different the 3 would be on the same night. Wondered if you had a view on it ? I will try it out with two nights and swapping but even that is not exactly scientific

[@NoviceWildCamper]

It's difficult to compare without taking them both out on the same night with the same person in it really. I've not really had any issues with condensation and I've used this tent more than any other in all weather's. It might have something to do with the height you've got it pitched at? Check the gaps under the tent and maybe adjust so its higher. I have mine high all the time for more headroom plus my pole is a fixed carbon pole so it is always set exactly the same. Could help 🤷🏼‍♂️👍

[@markl2815]

@@NoviceWildCamper I’m same as you using 125 carbon pole and I normally pitch for all round gaps. Thing is, at this time of year it can be like being in low cloud overnight when high up so that won’t help. We get a heavy dew fall overnight too from warm days.

😂 thanks. No one knows the grief we go through sometimes to make videos 🤣

[@yonicohen4681]

would 120 cm pole give more tent width than a 130 pole?

[@NoviceWildCamper]

I don't think you'd get to 130cm tbh but on theory yes it would but you'd lose end height too so I'd just keep it around 125cm.

[@singechamberlain2967]

Great video. I find people with chainsaws to be particularly troublesome. I imagine the guy with the mobile phone was reporting the guy putting the tent up in his garden?.... Hey ho - I think I know this tent very well now. Very informative. Did you fix your go pro?

[@NoviceWildCamper]

Cheers buddy. I've got a higher bit rate sd card that someone recommended and it seems to have done the trick 🤞

[@TruesdaleTV]

Love ur channel buddy. Do u have a link to the carbon Pole u bought for ur lanshan 1. I can't find it on ebay. 👍

[@NoviceWildCamper]

Hi. Thanks for that. I cant post linkks here but if you search for seller ablain0 it should bring up his shop. Make sure you ask for 16mm pole to your required length. If you can find him dm me on fb or insta and I'll send you the link. Thanks.

[@TruesdaleTV]

@@NoviceWildCamper appreciate to help cheers 👍 my lanshan 1 is arriving today 🙂 I have a trekking pole here for it but I like the look of the carbon Pole u have there. Light and much more compact👍🏕

[@NoviceWildCamper]

@Truesdale Tv cool. You as excited as i was? 😂👍

[@TruesdaleTV]

@@NoviceWildCamper definitely lol be out camping in it tomorrow night hopefully 🏕 🤞

Awesome. I'm hoping to be out in my new hammock tomorrow night 👍

[@neillawson4252]

First time today setting up my lanshan 1 plus in the garden ,going to try your mods but Iam having problems when I ordered the carbon poles from eBay (off ablain0) ordered them in January and still waiting away great video and take care ,neil

[@NoviceWildCamper]

That's odd. He's normally very good. Cheers for watching though 👍

[@calebe16]

can't I ask you your height? I'm 186cm (6'1") and looking at this tent, but afraid I might get the condensation on me while sleeping, specially using a thick (10cm, 4") sleeping pad that will bring my feet and face even closer to the tent walls.

[@NoviceWildCamper]

@calebe16 this is a double wall tent so you don't get condensation like the single wall pro version. And I'm 6'4 and fit just make sure you get the plus size version not the standard

[@calebe16]

​@@NoviceWildCamper I was thinking about the Nightcat as its build quality seems better. And I didn't find the Lanshan 1 XL for sale anymore. I thought you had the regular Lanshan 1.

[@NoviceWildCamper]

@calebe16 I'd stick with the original. The nightcat is a copy and I don't thinks it's better quality. Most of the new ones are the plus size. Just make sure the internal length is 230cm.

[@ianbarnes3767]

Great vid Mike. I noticed on your first look of the Lanshan that your inner tent was really loose and baggy, but now it seems nice and taught. How did you sort that issue?

[@NoviceWildCamper]

Cheers Ian. Changing the cords at the bottom of the bathtub to bungee shock cord made a big difference. 👍

[@nicholassmith6533]

Can I ask what mm bungee cord? Thanks

[@nicholassmith6533]

Apologies. Just read 3mm. Great video.

[@NoviceWildCamper]

@@nicholassmith6533 cheers Nicholas 👍

[@misterritter9854]

Can I ask how tall you are? I have been back and forth trying to decide if I want to get the Lanshan 1, but I keep worryong I'll feel cramped at 185cm (6'1").

[@NoviceWildCamper]

Hi. I'm 6'4 and just fit without touching the ends 👍

[@NoviceWildCamper]

If you use my pole mods on the side guy outs. 👍

@@NoviceWildCamper Thank you!

[@NoviceWildCamper]

Just make sure you get the plus version not the standard or pro 👍

Where you get the carbon pole

[@NoviceWildCamper]

A chap off ebay. He doesn't seem to make them anymore though but you can try a search otherwise you can get them from ali express just make sure you get 16mm thick 👍

[@benedikthassel]

all cool and everything but i noticed one thing everyone is doing wrong. dont do the bungee mod in the bathtub corners. why? i will tell you! just put a small cord on the bathtub corners, about 4-5cm of lenght. peg the bathtub first so it got a nice tension. next is to put the trekking pole/stick under it. now you can peg out the flysheet corners with 5 extra pegs. pull them out as far as you can. yeah i know you gonna need 5 more pegs for this method but you will be suprised, how much space is on the tent now. trust me. dont do the bungee mod, do mine instead!

[@NoviceWildCamper]

Tried that first. This way works better and uses less pegs.

[@Mapleaple]

I dont use tent poles. So here's the tent poles I have to extend the space. Lols jk. When I get mine ill do the bungee thing

[@mikebrittain6191]

[@joshuadench2055]

Hi again after watching your video (this on kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIbXeYOmm9GlsLs&ab_channel=NoviceWildCamper) on the bath tub you added line locks. fast forward to this video you changed for 3mm ?? bungee. why the change? what makes the bungee better?

[@NoviceWildCamper]

The line lock I added because the standard string kept slipping so the bathtub was always lose. Rather than tighten everything, the easier way to keep it always taught is to use the bungee cord so it's constant. 👍

[@joshuadench2055]

@@NoviceWildCamper ahh good thinking, whats the thickness of the bungee cord?

[@NoviceWildCamper]

3mm 👍
