- Опубліковано 28 лип 2024
- In today's video we will share with you our first impressions of the new tent - from brand 3F UL GEAR and it is a LANSHAN 2 Pro tent. As you may know already we have upgraded to a new tent last year - MSR Elixir 2 that is a self-standing model we’d never tried before. And we’ve done several reviews on that including the detailed one. And we were and still are very happy about it after using it during the last summer season, as we think it is a great quality tent. But in the comments below the video reviews we made and in the social media groups it was recommended to us several times to try this Lanshan 2 Pro tent. Mentioning that it is pretty lightweight and at the same time very budget friendly and basically is a budget alternative to the epic ZPacks Duplex that costs 5 times more than this guy. And if you know us we are all about exploring different options especially budget friendly ones and test if they are any good. So we didn’t hesitate long and decided to get this tent and see how it is for ourselves and of course share it with you. As always it will be a first impressions video and not a full review that we are going to do after a season of hiking and testing it for some period of time. Hope you find it useful in some way.
Where to buy it:
You can purchase this tent on official website: 3fulgear.com/index.php/produc...
Or on Aliexpress store: www.aliexpress.com/item/10050...

So we decided to follow our heart and move from a big city to a small village to be able to do what we love and to create this content. Our goal is to promote the healthy lifestyle, to motivate people to travel more and care for nature around. We are passionate walkers who love hiking, trekking and camping. We offer the detailed information of our hikes and routes, including the map and all the directions, so that you can repeat it if you'd like to.
We choose walking over driving and other types of transportation whenever we can because we learnt that this way we see so much more and can explore and feel the place better. Walking is an excellent activity that has so many benefits to your health and requires no special equipment or practice, so we encourage you to get the most out of it and get out walking.

If you have any other questions or suggestions - leave us a comment below. We would love to communicate with you!
I know this is 2 years old but I have to say this is one of the better videos showing off this tent. There are a TON of videos online about the lanshan but a lot of them are sub par as far as actually giving an in depth look at the tent. Well done
Appreciate your comment. Amazing to know it was helpful to you! We do try to make our video reviews as detailed as possible as we like to watch the same from other people too.
I've got the three-season version and absolutely love it. I tend to run on the warm side, especially when sleeping, so I like it cool and want as much ventilation as possible. The three season version has a large inner mesh tent that is clipped to the outer rain shell. I've been using a Tyvek ground sheet that I bought from Six Moons and love it (after running it through the washer a couple times to get rid of the loud crinkling sound). No problems with condensation. No problems with leaking. I use it for solo backpacking and love the room inside the tent to stow my pack. Shoes live out in the vestibule, which is spacious and more than enough for cooking when the weather is wet or for that first cup of coffee in the AM.
All in all, I love this tent - it's light, spacious, easy to set up, and I love the weight savings that come from using trekking poles. Only time will how many miles it will last.
Many thanks for a great video!
Hello, John, thank you fro sharing your experience with this tent, it is really helpful for us and many people researching information. Hope the condensation won't be too bad in our tent either.
Best initial review/overview of this tent yet👍🏻👍🏻
Glad you think so!
This is the best Lanshan 2 pro setup video on UA-cam. Thank you👍
A great thorough and detailed review.just what I was looking for. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Great review, thanks for sharing your experience with us. Seems like a great choice for a couple camping while hiking.
Thanks for watching and commenting! Yes, we are excited to try it out more in the wild conditions.
Excellent review. I used my Lanshan 2P on a two week hike on the John Muir Trail this august and it performed wonderfully.
Great to hear that! We haven't had a chance to use it that heavily yet.
We have 2 ( still new ) for our planned tour du MontBlanc next year. nice video, like always.
That's cool, hope you will enjoy using it then!
Excelente! Obrigado!
Quando fizerem o próximo vídeo da Lanshan 2 pro avisem! Boa trilha!
Muito obrigado! Claro, você também pode ativar as notificações do canal para se manter atualizado. Bom caminho!
Good work!
Thanks a lot, dear friend!
I have the Mier Lanshan 2, love it. Almost no condensation! Changing out all rigging and tent pegs. Zpacks rams heads, dyneema cordage, new hi vis shock cord, carbon fiber tent pegs, line lock buckles and mega-brite glow tape for the guy outs. I have pics if interested.
Sure, we would be interested in seeing it, so you made an upgraded version of the tent?
@@WalkingNatureWorld correct, several modifications that really help a lot when on the trail for setup and breakdown. So far, it doesn't move at all in 40mph winds, looking to test it at higher wind speeds soon. What email do you want the pics sent to, you can share them on your channel if you want.
@@apocsurvival916 That sounds intriguing! Sure you can send your pics to our email: walkingnatureworld@gmail.com. Thanks in advance!
I'm interested too, do you have a video of your upgrades? or list of upgrade kits?
Good review
Glad you think so!
thank you so much for this early impression of the tent. :) I had no idea you could get such a cheap ultra light tent. I am considering the Lanshan 1 Pro for solo travels.. Because my current 2.2KG tent is robust, comfortable and great when you are two people sharing some of the gear weight, but during solo travel the Lanshans seems to offer an incredible weight- and pack-size improvement. I have looked at premium ultralight tents before, but I don't travel enough solo to justify the cost. This might just fit the bill! :) Looking forward to hear your long-term impression of the tent!
Thanks, friend, yeah, the solo versions seem super compact and lightweight and for their cost it is pretty hard to beat. We ourselves will still be using our comfortable MSR for long term travel and hikes and looking forward to test this lightweight Lanshan for shorter trips this year. It seems like it should hold up pretty well for such short term use. Hope you will make the right decision for yourself:)
I have the previous Lanshan 1 with separate inner, which I prefer over single wall. I'm only 1.75m so size is not a problem. With aluminium pole and pegs it weighs 1150 gram. The nice thing about pyramid tents is you can use the inner nest in a larger outer tent. So I also bought a 170cm high palace in case I want to sit in it with a chair.
@@driewiel Yeah, we think now we want to try another Lanshan tent with inner tent and the pole structure as we also like to have the option of setting up only the inner or outer tent separately. It would be nice to compare these two tents.
@@WalkingNatureWorld I also bought this really cheap teepee tent. nl.aliexpress.com/item/4000712371783.html I think one of the reasons it is cheap is because it only has loops and steel pegs. So you have to get some cord and bungee and modify it yourself to pitch it as it should. I haven't had it in rain yet,. but the quality is actually pretty good tape sealed and everything. I don't expect any problems. Weight isn't bad either for polyester. With 300g pole and aluminum pegs about 1600g? The inner is at least 230cm long. If you like teepee tents then this is a bargain option.
Really great and thorough video, thank you.
Do you know how often you need to put sealant on the seams?
once, the seller told me. BUT you better take the ( small ) bottle with you. just in case.
Thank you for the feedback! Glad you found it useful. One person already answered you and we agree that normally you need to put the sealant once.
The gray colour one good for reflecting light. And the brown only available in 4 season model.
Maybe you are right, we didn't think about this aspect. Have to check the brown one, it seemed to be available in both models.
Hi, thank for the video. Did you already use the tent? - any real pros/cons after using the tent?
Hello, we haven't used it enough yet, only spent one night camping out in it and found the inner walls quite wet and we think that maybe it happened because we had a bit of rain and high humidity that night and morning and is a common issue with single wall tents. It dries very quickly which is a plus. But we will be further testing it and see how it will change from one day to the other and post an updated review this autumn.
Nice vid - is the 4 season tent not too warm for summer?
We haven't tested it enough yet to say for sure but as we took it for the 3 season hiking and we generally don't like to have too much ventilation we hope it will work fine for us. But we will post the updated review in autumn.
I love buying 3Fulgear at Camperlists
Might be see through with tourch light.
Yeah, the fabric is quite see through anyway because it is quite thin, so we don't plan on using the lights much at night.
@Walking Nature World don't plan to be naughty in a lanshan 2 pro tent. A torch will shine stright through one. Like a shadow puppet show. I have a lanshan 2 pro grey tent that i haven't used yet. I relised that might be the problem.
just slept 4 nights in it, condensation is an issue, you can wipe it in the morning with the rag or your towel, but if you have condensation and strong rain will start it will shake the condensation down on your sleeping bag and gear
Thanks for sharing your experience, we were also concerned about how it will hold up the rainy weather. We'll be testing it further, still haven't used it enough.
@@WalkingNatureWorldafter I seamsealed it's fully waterproof, I had violent storm and rain whole night, not a leak, condensation the only challenge, but I guess, it's a rule with one layer tents
@@jantomaszrogala4230 Yes, it seems like a rule
I have the lanshan 2 3 season tent and it was already tape swam sealed.. is the Pro version not sealed ... ?
I'm looking at doing the Tour Du Mont Blanc next year now in July with the lanshan 2 ... love your vids on the Tour Du Mont Blanc and Pyrenees hikes there awesome 👌
Yeah we guess they do it differently in different versions for some reason. The Pro is not sealed as far as we know from other people too.
Glad you found our videos inspiring, and hope all your plans come true next year!:)
@@WalkingNatureWorld I'm looking at getting the MSR Elixir 2 V2 this week , and I'll be wild camping in the UK 🇬🇧 and I'll use that or my lanshan 2 next year on the Tour Du Mont Blanc... was hoping to do it this year, but with covid restrictions everywhere, I thought best to wait till next July 😉🤟..
@@waynerenshaw-multi-outdoor4521 Yes, it is a bit difficult to travel far now but anyway hope you enjoy your hiking in UK and testing these two tents for the major challenge to come next year!
hello from France great your video and thank you for making the comment in French I think I will buy this tent it is a good compromise is to explain well well tended the condensation will not be done it is you who have done the tmb I followed you thank you to you I subscribed to your channel my greetings Didier
Thanks a lot for your words! Hope you will enjoy using this tent! We are yet to try it more in the wild, and not sure about the condensation issue still. Let us know how it goes for you. Hope you enjoy it here on our channel! Cheers:)
Weight is 1040 grams with pegs and stuffsack but without footprint.
Have you tried it now in practice? Is there enough of space for two people to sleep with let’s say 65cm wide sleeping mats? Any experience on how the seems hold now after the treatment?
We are yet to try it more in the wild and in different weather conditions but to us it is quite spacious more lenghtwise than in width though. For our standard Hikenture sleeping pads it is just enough. And we had some rain one night and there was no leakage abd the seams are fine for now. But we are going to do another review sharing our experience with it after this season of hiking.
@@WalkingNatureWorld thank you for the reply! Happy trails! 🙂
@@headbangerstrail Thanks a lot, have a nice summer hiking too!
Could you say to me what glue you're using?
We used Gear Aid SIL glue www.amazon.com/Gear-Aid-Silicone-Sealant-Silnylon/dp/B0009RP8HO/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=sil+net&qid=1611195229&sr=8-1
Can two 25inch sleeping pads fit inside? Thanks
The tent is 47.3in wide so we think it may be a bit tight
@@WalkingNatureWorld
Gotcha! Thanks for the reply 👍🏽
I have the Lanshan 2. Not the pro version. I love it! It’s still very lightweight. It’s only a couple of hundred grams heavier than the pro. For me the advantages are: It’s a two wall tent. Never had condensation issues with it. However have read that single wall tents can be a problem here - especially if your sleeping bag comes in contact with the wall of the tent. Also I have both three and four season inners and can change them for different weather conditions, making it very flexible. Unlike the pro version the two wall version doesn’t need seam sealing - apart from the two tie out points at the sides of the tent. Finally it’s cheaper. Whatever version you go for, I’d always add the footprint. It makes it much easier to set up and will help protect the very thin bathtub floor. I have the khaki version and can confirm it is very stealthy. Great tent and great review. Thanks.
the double walled tent has the same condensation. Its just that you dont see it because its on the inner side of the outer wall. But if the inner wall touches the outer wall your sleeping bag will still get wet.
Why i prefer the single walled version? Because with that one i can wipe down the condensation while with the double walled version i cant because the inner wall prevents me from removing it.
Also the pro is silnylon and not pu coated nylon so its much much more durable (around 3x)
Thanks for sharing, Ivor, we were hesitant between the previous version and the Pro and now we definitely think we prefer the double walls of the tent as we are used to such tents more and know how to deal with them. Now we think we should try to compare these two tents for ourselves.
1:02 Is there an updated review since 8 months ago?
No, we haven't made an updated review just yet.
@@WalkingNatureWorld i would like to know if its comfy for 2 person with backpack at the vestibule
@@laddaevolta We feel like it can be a bit narrow for two people inside, enough space but not too much, but the backpacks should fit just fine with it having two vestibules.
Great review ... however the sealing would mean this is not a tent for me, what a faff
Thanks, yeah it is a bit of hassle and time consuming but it works great when it's done.
Вы русские ?
Similar design and quality, 3ful price is more friendly, compared to those 400+ euro tents, it is very competitive, and our price is more competitive.
I bought it half a year ago and used it 9 times, a good experience
That's a classic style
Waste of money with half finished tent.
Would be good to ARTICULATE better ! Difficult to understand your English... Sorry...
