Lanshan 1 Pro Long Term 2 Year+ Review from Dartmoor - Wild Camping
Просмотров 2 тыс.8 месяцев назад
So its been approx 2.5 years since I bought the Lanshan 1 pro from 3FUL and thought it was about time I updated you on how its stood the test of that time under a fair battering from the elements in very high winds , rain and generally stormy conditions that the Dartmoor and the UK in general has to offer. Despite needing a new seam seal the tent has done very well indeed. No rips or guy line f...

I finally reach the infamous North Coast 500 ( nc500 ) on the Scottish leg of my Van life UK Tour. Its hard to describe the scenery on this epic road trip, so I won't try to start. I always imagined it would be amazing, but really was not prepared by just how awesome it could be. The landscape seemed to change in an instant before my very eyes as I roll through this phenomenal part of the count...

In this video I continue my Nifty UK Tour on the beautiful Isle of Skye. Scotland lived up to its reputation of constantly raining.....but, as you will see in later videos sometimes that can make for some epic landscape photography opportunities.

The Wild Haggis is a smallish, coarse haired creature, known for it's survival skills in the Scottish Wilderness. Over the centuries, this revered and shy animal has evolved so it can travel along steep mountain landscapes, with one side of it's body having longer legs t...

Where did you get those "Hot Lips" from? They look way better than the brand name Snow Peak, as it appears the silicone covers both the outside AND the inside. Definitely need me some of those!
Hi Katrina. That's a good question, but honestly can't remember. It was online ( not ebay or amazon ). To be honest I never use them ! Seemed like a good idea at the time but not for me. Cheers !
Good review I have the night cat 2 skin variant which came Seam sealed have now done more than 30 nights in ireland and the UK like you I replaced the pegs I also have added a few small mods. Great tent.
Thanks Paul. Yeah I love mine.......so light and so easy to set up ! Cheers !
Good to see ya back out 😊
Cheers Bex......its been a tough old winter but sun is around the corner !!!
Great video mate - we have to see fifty go global
God knows I'm trying mate....."Mog & Grog go Wild" new channel coming soon.....!!!
Old dog.....new tricks !
Woof Woof !
Those heated jackets 🧥 are great you can get heated scarves & heated gloves too
Its a no brainer for me ! The one I have has heated collar too ! Keeps me warm as toast for approx. 7 hours on low setting with my power bank ! Cheers !
@ they’re certainly worth it I’ll be getting one for winter ❄️
Soon be spring here......might sell mine on ebay ! haha
14 quid?? Shut up and take my money, love from a norwegian camper.
Best I can find on amazon at the moment.....but sure could get cheaper on Ebay ! Its blooming brilliant. Warm as toast last night at 2° C ! Cheers !
Bring back Grog !
He's currently up Kilimanjaro......or Aldi......one or the other !
Good moobs mate !
36 DD !
C'est magnifique !
Bon appetite rodney !
Cool thanks for sharing have a great a good one 🤟
Cheers !
Oh you old dogger ! haha
Woof woof !
Awesome !
Or Some !!!
Buddy where you been...hope all is well 👍
Is it just me or are these winters getting colder and longer......getting back out there more now ! Cheers !
@@FiftyandNifty👍
Great to see you back, it's been a while, hope you're well.
All good.....just been hibernating ! These old bones not liking the cold !
@@FiftyandNifty it only gets warmer from here.
I bloody hope so mate !
It’s gotta get warmer, and sunnier, if not, we are gonna have to migrate 😊
@@bexm-a8293 I was planning to escape to asia.....but have binned that til next year as there are snowdrops out so must be getting warmer !!
Its not hefty if that was lead acid or other it would weigh three x what it weighs it's actually light for its potential.
Its very compact and very robust ! Its approx 4kg (8.8lbs) Cheers !
Really good review. Thank you so much :)
Cheers Mike !
Not a fan of how the water bottles hang off the pack like that
Me neither.....! Bit tight for space for an overnight as only 30ltr. Prob will upgrade to the roll top 40ltr. Cheers !
@FiftyandNifty i just placed an order for the new 32 l!
Looks pretty much the same. Good as a day sack for sure !
I used this set up for a year or so, comfy enough but did need a second bag in mid winter. Cheers
Yes I found the same. It started off great ......but less effective now. Needs regular goes in the tumble drier to loft it back up. Cheers !
@FiftyandNifty paid about 65 off eBay, absolute bargain. Upgraded to the flex tail air mat, another eBay bargain about the same price. Well worth looking, got a naturehike air mat for 65 for my son this week. Wasn't worth paying almost twice as much for the newer higher r value one. We put thick foil mats down to protect floor and for warmth anyways. I'm 50 next week, so not far behind you lad... Cheers
That is a bargain ! Yeah I find a foil sheet and roll mat does the trick in winter.....still love the comfort of my UL80.......but just waiting for this one to go down ! May need to change the channel name in a couple years as pushing 60 now ! Maybe call it "Shifty but Nifty" !
I've got a thimble. But I am still trying to boil my head of broccoli in it. Any tips?
Thats a tough one.......have you tried switching to frozen peas ?
I ordered direct and was here in Australia in 2-3 weeks from memory.
Yes good tents these.
the problem is sizing too average height in china is like 5.7 so their XXXL is like our medium I can find really good t shirts but they re just not big enough
I usually find 2 sizes up works well. Cheers.
we need more reviews like this are they really warm. ?
Thanks.......yes not bad. Still using mine ! Cheers
Planning doing kings Tor did Gt Miss the other week also subbed
Lets hope its still legal next week !! Cheers
Enjoyed that , thanks . Interested about the bivvy bag inside . I’ve been thinking of this inside my Lanshan 1 pro for winter camping . What’s your reasons and take on this please
Thanks ! The bivvy bag as extra to my sleeping bag does keep heat in but downside is the condensation builds up inside. Not great with a down bag as can make it start to clump up. I find better way is to use a cheap thin bag inside my main bag ( mummy bag inside my wide nature hike bag) and this works better for me. Cheers
Link doesn't work. Is there a new one?
Will update asap. Cheers.
Those are quite the bare essentials, valid for an overnight or two in the bush near to civilization. Not for sure for a week or more in the wilderness. Water filtration? Matches? Btw lighter is utter rubbish and only for citycampers. Try to get that to work from your rucksag in a freezing temperatures. Wheres your knife? I also tend to wash my teeth and washup so where is the hygiene gear? Your EA kit basically relies that you'll be medievac if you'll get basic fever or a diarrhea. Stuff that down jacket to the sleeping bags compession bag and you got a pillow. I'd also recommend wool socks to the sleeping bag, as if your feet gets cold you'll be cold even that you are e.g otherwise warm. But we all choose our own gear, based on our preferences and experiences and its good if that set is sufficient for your hikes. 👍🏼
I look forward to watching your video with such expert knowledge of wild camping !
@@FiftyandNifty There is already plenty of material in the Tube, so no need for me to make my megapixel's. I'm no Bear Grylls but one tends to pickup thing or two in 30 years of 4 season "camping" above Arctic circle.
Ah.....they must be ploughing the fields and spreading muck as I smell the heady aroma of Bull Sh1t in the air !
@@FiftyandNifty No bulls here, only reindeer and seldom bear and moose turds. 🤷♂️
I remember the time stranded in the Rocky mountains for 3 hours and all we could find to eat were moose turds and dead squirrel. I developed a taste for both and have them shipped over now weekly for Sunday dinner and Christmas.
I want to buy a lanshan 1 pro and I wonder whether I need to use a ground mat for protection in addition? I cannot find any information on this. Hence, I think it is not needed, right?
In my opinion it is essential to get the ground sheet. This will protect the base of the tent as , whilst it is quite strong, there is always a chance you could snag or tear it in stone or something. I also find it helps me set a good position for the tent set up before actually setting up tent. Cheers !
Great video, Dartmoor looking beautiful as always
Cheers Dave !
I have it too. Can i clean it or rinse or do anything for the smell?
Avoid getting wet......hang out on line in the air if it stinks
This burner is not Trangia
Look out everyone, it's the Trangia police...."ve hav vays of making you cook...!"
I just bought this, and set it up using your video. Clearest instruction I can find for this specific tent. Cheers!
Glad it was helpful. It's a great tent. Don't forget to seam seal it ! Cheers !
Once again... Sublime choix musicaux. Thanx lads 👍
Cheers !
Oh... Quelle musique magnifique... Wasn't expecting that!
Merci mon ami. Time to bring back a bit of class to Dartmoor 😂😂🤣
Oke Tor, nice camp there, that inversion in Taw marsh was lovely..cracking vid! ,hope you and all are well..ATB WJ
Blooming chilly in night though ! Ah the British summer. Cheers !
Porridge rank 😫...was it oke tor you was on?never been around that way before.
My lips are sealed....until the competition vid comes out ....or I actually record it 😂 ! You should try my recipe.....not half bad !
Nice porridge !😅
Stop talking to yourself !
Yeah but this is a crap. You can't for example charge and discharge at the same moment. So You can't plug for example a fridge, and solar panel to charge the device. I'm not sure, solar panel only 60W maximum.
I believe you CAN charge and use at same time ( but would need to check this) . My solar panel is rated 100W ( seldom reaches that in UK) and works fine.
nice vid, Hickaton Hill perhaps..above the avon dam?..
My lips are sealed......until next weeks vid ! :-)
I've got no idea where you are bt looks lovely keep video's coming 👍
Thanks Pete.....part 2 next week ! Cheers !
Great review and pitching explanation... Thanks!
Thanks. There is a further 2 year review I did a couple weeks back also. Cheers
Yes,yes,yes can't wait 👌 👍
Its a cross between wild camping and phantom of the opera !
What a beautiful place my friend, absolutely amazing work!
It certainly is a wonderful landscape. Cheers.
Lovely views 👌
Cheers Pete !
Stunning video! I loved Kings Tor when I went up there, beautiful views! Just subscribed to your channel, keep up the great work! Dave
Thanks Dave. I must do Great Mis Tor on the other side as I always forget that one ! Cheers.
@@FiftyandNifty I haven’t been up there yet, but it looks stunning from the surrounding tors!
Glad see your vids again after your break. I know you never posted, but how was the homeward bound route from Scotland
Thanks. I have some footage of the way down but it wasn't all that special tbh. I should prob put something together at some stage. But I had to call it a day at Newcastle for certain reasons. Cheers .
Love kings tor was up there friday bangin views m8 👍
Tis grand up there. Cheers.
One tablespoon of water into a full T. Burner now turns the chemicals into a Hydrocarbon and doesn’t leave the carbon sooty deposits onto your pots and pans. It’s a simple fix and it works, I’ve been doing it for years. It doesn’t seem to cool the burn or add to the time it takes to boil your water , not that I care about how long it takes. It keeps my pots clean!!
Yes I have heard that. I tried a mix of 10% hand sanitizer but seems to leave a deposit in burner. Will try the water. Cheers.
