Off Topic, Hello Simon would you be kind enough to let me know the dates in September you walked the WHW, looking at your video it will give me an idea of the daylight hours, and daily milage calculations i will have to make. thanks once again. Steve G.
I have the Lanshan Pro 2. Annoying that I need to seam seal - suppose I've taught myself something new - and major condensation issues. Also missing 2 pegs. Not a great start, but I'd love to have it out on falling heavy rain.
@@SimonOutdoors i typically use a hammock, but i've moved to a new city where the mountains are FAR away and plains camping is now the way to go. i was eyeballing this tent but was unsure because most i've tested were just too short. i'm 6'3" and so seeing this review sealed the deal for me. i bought the tent. and it's fantastic. i'm largely a solo camper, so this is perfect for me and my gear. the only other tent i've used and enjoyed was the Naturehike Mongar 2. it fit nicely as well. big guys need big gear. :D
That looks like a MSR Hubba!! As someone who’s also done some multiday thru hiking in the UK - I think I prefer inner pitch first. (1) You are bound to have some condensation in the uk and an inner pitch first is detached from the outer - so you can pack them seperately without the hassle of detachment and reatachment. Its a bit of a hassle to detach the hilleberg akto inner and then reattach (2) An outer pitch first tends to have a more flappy inner tent as it is suspended from the outer - so is more noisy in wind. (3) Erecting in the rain can be a bit of an issue with inner first pitch, but shouldn’t take long to do and you can always wait a bit until any heavy rain passes if there is suitable shelter nearby. (4) Outer pitch first if ideal for one night camps - it doesn’t matter if you pack the whole tent wet as you can dry off later at home.
Hi Simon. . The tent looks well sorted, and a perfect size for a tall guy such as yourself. I hope you enjoy many happy adventures in her. . Take care.
Simon, Thank you, another great review. Not a fan of the inner pitch first tents myself; I find we don't have the weather for it. But love geodesic tents for all the advantages you outlined. Thank you again
Great video Si looked like a great little tent that. I hate seeing the fire scars too, cant see why people have to have them directly on the ground if they must have one. If they dont know how to make a fire properly then they shouldn't do one. Do love free standing tents, not just for being able to move its location but to shake stuff off in the morning too. With my Soulo if its been hammering down in the night hold the poles in the morning and shake the rain off before I put it away. Jobs a good'n and no wet tent haha. That is one bright outer but loads of room inside 👌🏻 Cheers for the great informative video buddy. ATB... Chris
@@SimonOutdoors Thanks man! Loving your Jack Wolfskin tent mate looks the business that... would you recommend one of those over an MSR Hubba if I was looking to get one of those styles of tents?
@@theheightoflife there’s quite a big weight difference mate, I would love to have the 2 person hubba hubba, and the 1 person is an awesome tent. The JW is great value though. Didn’t really answer your question did I!
@@SimonOutdoors thanks! Will the lanshan be roomy enough for someone of 6 ft 1 or will it be touching the head end and foot end ? Really in doubt between the cloud up 2, lanshan 2 pro and floating cloud 2.
@@anon0_04 I can’t speak for the Lanshan 2 as never owned one. My sense is you will be ok as it’s a larger tent. The Lanshan 1 pro isn’t great at all for a tall person
What are your thoughts on 3F UL Gear tents / kit?

@@MontyOutdoors thanks mate, looks like great value for money. The downside is the extra labour in seam sealing!
@@SimonOutdoors Hello again Simon, have you managed to locate the dates yet ?, thanks again. Steve G
not many of us tall guys reviewing. so your review is much appreciated.
Thanks Ian, which tent do you use?

@@IanSebryk haha definitely Ian. I’m so glad the video was of some value and I hope the new city works out well! Cheers, Si
I went out last week for an overnighter and used my lanshan 1 for the first time. It’s now going to be my go to for the future, really loved it.
Nice one Delster, thanks for watching 👍🏻
Watching this from my Lanshan 2. Interested to see how the cloud performs. Thanks for the video Simon 👍
Nice one Richard! Thanks for tuning in from out in the field! Si

Thanks Dylan, agree with all of these points 👍🏻
Good copy. Specially designed to provide a great option for users on a budget
I've finally got of the island, I'm currently wild camping in Gloucestershire & Worcestershire.
Have a lovely time Diane 👍🏻

Hi Keith, thanks for watching and commenting mate 👍🏻
@@SimonOutdoors . . Always a pleasure Simon.
Good informative video Simon, cheers Pal !
Thanks Martin
Thanks for the review. My metric system is a little rough, but If it's 140 cm wide shouldn't handle two wide pads at the same time?
It ought to fit two yes Sam. Are you thinking of buying?

Thanks mate, I really want a geodesic! Take care, Si
Nice one Simon. I like how spacious it is. Hope you got out the woods okay! 👍
Thanks mate, I made it :) take care

Thanks mate 👍🏻
How is this one compared to the lanshan 2 pro in terms of space inside?
Larger and more headroom in my opinion. Heavier though I’m sure

Just bought this tent, I was going to go for the Hubba Hubba but heard they’ve changed supplier on materials and aren’t as great as they used to be.
Nice one Rick, have you managed to use her yet? Si
@@SimonOutdoors not yet. It’s ok route from Camperlists at the moment.
@@Northern_Rockhopper good luck with it mate, I don't think you will be disappointed
Simon Dont think i would fancy trying to pitch that in the wind with my much shorter arms. wrestling those pole,
😂😂 I reckon you would do pretty well mate
Great review very similar to the naturehike monger tent
Thanks Shawn, not seen the monger. Do you have one? Cheers, Si
@@SimonOutdoors no but summit or nothing has just done a review on there's
@@xjessukx excellent! Will check his out
Don't forget, same as the Hubbas set up, top Apex pole over the TOP of the main pole...
Great point, thanks Catherine! Si
Hi. Can you write what is the width of the vestibule and the length of the poles?
210cm. I don’t have the tent any longer to measure the poles I’m afraid :(
@@SimonOutdoors Thanks. I asked producer and the vestibule is 75 cm wide. Pole is about 45cm.
@@semper762 nice one, thanks mate
Remember it's Kilograms not kilo, when are you brits going to fully convert?
When you start paying for content? 🤔😉
@SimonOutdoors Just saying as a subscriber Simon, no harm intended 😀 .
@@leonardmcdermott7703 no worries, no offence taken :)
Looks very similar to a MSR , clearly they have borrowed the design 🤭
Looks decent for the money mate .
Yeah agree mate, very similar. Enjoy your Sunday 👍🏻
