- This is my second Lanshan 2 tent. I finally have the setup figured out correctly. I had to get some help from DollarStoreChapstick to film parts of the setup.

Your video helped me out so much thank you. I was confused by all the guy lines that it came with. Your video is the only one I seen explaining in detail staking out tent, and setting up guy lines. Thanks!!
Thanks! I'm so glad I could help! 😊
This is really helpful. Definitely a better guide than other videos I've seen
Thank you so much! 😁
Can you believe I found this tent brand new for $5 at a swapmeet? I love it! I like it more than a big Agnes scout ul I own. For the record their customer service is amazing. Thanks for your vid.
WOW!! That's an awesome purchase! What a great find!
@@icebearhikes I actually found another brand ultra light tent but I like this one better.
Thanks for the help. Just ordered mine. Will probably have to come back and watch again when it gets here.
Awesome! I think you'll like it, once you get the hang of setup. It's very lightweight and dependable. Thanks for watching! 😁
Great video!!!! I just got mine in today and watched your video 2 times to make sure I knew what I was doing.. Best set up video I've found one the Lanshan 2.. Thank you..
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm so glad I was able to help you with it! 😀
I thought I would be able to set up tent with no video and i was wrong. I didn't know to not untie pre measured knots. Is there any way to find out at wat length they need to be?
Thanks. Best setup video I have seen for this tent and helpful hints from you and the comments. Happy hiking all
Thank you! I'm so glad I could help! 😀 Happy Trails!
Great video
Just ordered one, got to wait for it to come from China, thankyou for the very clear instructions, definitely the video that explains it the most.
Thank you! I'm so glad I could help! I hope you love your Lanshan! 😁
Thank you for the video I appreciate the information especially on the doors me my husband were arguing over the door lanyards. We came in and watch your video. Your daughter is awesome very cute
Thank you! I'm glad I was able to help! 😀
Great video! Beautiful (if annoying) daughter helping mom is also great. Thanks for the tips and the attention to detail.
Thank you so much! 😀
Aw, she’s not annoying, she’s cute.
This was really helpful. There’s already a lot of gear review videos about this tent, but seeing what it’s like to set up is useful.
Thank you! I'm so glad I could help! 😁
lol, your daughter reminds me of my self when I was that age. Except that i was always an outdoorsy kid. I watched this video because I purchased the white Lanshan 2P tent and I will be testing it out in the wild tonight, and I think it might rain and I won't have a chance to waterproof it before I go so hopefully I don't get soaked out!
Edit: Oh! I see you're in Georgia. I'm going to Yonah Mountain to test this.😄
It should keep you good and dry without seamsealing; they do a great job on sealing the Lanshan 2. Welcome to the #LanshanClan ! 😁 I'm still using this tent. I love my Lanshan. 👊
@@icebearhikes Thanks for the reply! I'm even more excited for my trip tonight. Feels great to be apart of such a wonderful community!
@@icebearhikes Update : It thunderstormed all morning when I was out there and I was bone dry on the inside. I need to practice pitching it though, because it was a bit of a circus tent on the inside. 😆
@@Kipicus That's awesome!! 😁 It's a great tent; I don't think I'll be switching anytime soon. Raising your trekking poles will bring a higher pitch, if you need.
thanks, it is good to see how ladies can put up the tent by themselves.
Tell lip stick yes people do watch these videos. Lol. Glad you finally figured it out. Still think trekking poles are to low. 👌
😄
Great job ! I love tents like this, so much better than simple "tarp" shelters. Thank you !
Thanks! 😁
Brilliant, I watched a 'perfect pitch' video before setting up the tent for the first time last night but I was a bit confused on a couple things like the lines connected to the vestibules at the bottom. It didnt seem quite right, this has made everything super clear, thanks so much.
Thank you! I'm so glad that it helped! 😀
That’s a great pitch, Ice Bear! Looks like you’ve got it down....Ready for next weekend!! 😎⛺️ Not waterproofing?.....oh girl, I’ll make sure I save room in my tent for you when it rains on your head😉
😂😆 That's a real friend right there ⬆️, guys. Thanks, partner!
My experience is they are quite waterproof.
Yes the Lanshan 2 is. The Lanshan Pro is not though. 😬
Great video. Very helpful. Thanks
Wash the tyvek in cold water no soap on gentle cycle and air dry. It will slightly shrink the tyvek but it will lose all the slipperiness and the sound.
Thank you for all the tips! 🌹
If they made lightweight tents that looked like a castle, I would buy one for sure.
Super helpful. Appreciate this!
Thank you! 😁
Great video. Thanks for making this video. I definitely untied my lines and didn’t set it up just right lol
Thank you! I'm glad that I was able to help! 😁
@@icebearhikes and the green is just as see through.. how did the bottom hold up
Very well. No tears or holes
@@icebearhikes awesome. I’m concerned with it being so thin. Definitely can’t wait to put some miles on it. Happy Trails!🤙🏼 🏕
Best instructions ever. Thanks
Thank you! 😁
Hello thx for the video, i bought mine 4 years ago a got the green one "flame's creed" but i had to wait because the green was often out of stock.
The yellow one is beautiful a little bit flashy but nice
I have a green one now; it's my favorite color lanshan! Yellow is very bright.
@@icebearhikes oh nice !! 👍
Looks like you've got it!! Good job.
I like those Coglan's stakes. I have some to use on my tents; keeping that trekking pole up is darn important. Had the original stake on the trekking pole pull out on my Lanshan 1; not fun in the rain. That is a nice set up! I believe you are getting it dialed in. I only put a bit of silicone sealant on the main seams, but I don't think that it is necessary.
Ok so I didn’t watch this video before I started set up. . . Only after I was unsuccessful. Where exactly does the designated knot got for the vestibules? Is there a possible measurement that you can give me?
I like this tent, it's quite simple, doesn't need frames..
Haha!! I tripped over Ice Bears lines every single time I walked past!!!
its worth the money to buy guy line string that glows in the dark
Thanks so much, this was very helpful!
Yes we are interested in the tent 😁
Mike said glad you made success.
Love ur video!
Thank you! 👊😁
Tell your daughter that I definitely just wanted to see her not the tent! LOL I had 3 teenage girls I miss those days!!! LOL
😄 Thank you! They grow up too fast, don't they?
great video. I changed the pegs that came with the lanshan 2 for 18 cm. also it also takes me ages to set it up. once up is a great tent. . I will try the vestibule guy lines with a nail tent peg next time I pitch up the lanshan. thanks for the suggestion.
Thank you! 😁 I now use shepherds hook stakes from walmart. They work pretty great in my typical terrains here on the east coast.
THANKS!
Helped so much!
Glad I could help! Thanks! 😁
Great informative quality video ice 🐻
Thank you, Jim! 😁
Been looking at this one.
Thanks to watching ur videos on the lanshan 2 I just got one and love it! My only question is when I tried to connect a couple corners to stretch out tub floor they would not reach the stakes? Should I do this first or the fly corners first?
If you keep the stake out points loosened, you should be able to loop the corner tie out bungees onto the stakes before you tighten down each corner of the rainfly part of the tent. I hope that makes sense. 🤞 Thank you for the kind words! Welcome to the Lanshan Clan! 👊
@@icebearhikes thank you. The problem is they are nit bungees.just regular paracord material. May have to change it out. Thanks again
@@DaveJenkins-nu5fr Oh my. Mine are bungee material. I could definitely see that being a big problem
Thank you so much ! But how to use repair patches ?
Hi! I have a video about the patches here: ruclips.net/video/zj-ckJCijiM/видео.html
O boy, teenagers are something else. She will watch when she turns twenty one and say to herself, what silly nut. I can say that because I have five kids and seven grandkids. Fun to watch them grow up and change their minds, ideas and attitudes.
Great Video. Thank you so much.
Do I need to waterproof anything? Did yours leak? BTW, thanks for these videos, they are soooo helpful!
I'm glad I can help! 😀 With the Lanshan 2, I didn't waterproof anything. I've never had a leak in either one of them. The new Lanshan Pro needs waterproofed though; there are pinholes in the stitching of it.
Well darn I untied the knots on the vestibule. Oops will have to try and tie them again. So far like my YELLOW tent. Which does attract bugs cause it’s flower color I guess lol
Me too! 😟 this was the first video I watched that explained the lines
I did a video on the knots too, in case people untied them.
ruclips.net/video/RfhBzX6JkmU/видео.html
This is a common problem; you are not alone! 😁 I untied my first Lanshan's knots too.
I'm confused, because my guy lines were tied but either side was not the same length. That's why I untied mine. 🙄 In my case, I guess its understandable, but now I need to watch your other video 😂
Uh oh, sounds like a factory error. 😬
I have a brown one and kinda wish I had a brighter color. Oh well.
Thanks for the concise guide! I just got a lanshan 1. :) Did you have to seam seal it or did you get away with not having to?
I have not sealed it, and I haven't had any leaks so far. It holds up wonderful in the rain!
IceBear hikes Brilliant! Thank you so much! :) Enjoy your weekend!
@@FunsizedEarthling Thank you! I hope you have a great weekend too! 🙂
i'm using a dollar tree shower curtain for a ground cloth lol
Hey, that's a really good idea! I never thought of that. You're going to have to put that in a video; that's really smart! I got the walmart tarp for my Ozark Trail tent for $4.88, but it doesnt fit this tent.
Superb. Thank you.
Thank you! 😁
I wanted a tent that is Canadian made and waterproof I am told this tent can leak and I do not want to have to go through the waterproofing the Manufacturing should have done that. To me, ground cloths for tents are necessary if you want to protect the bottom of your tent. Thanks for doing this video it was great.
I've used the Lanshan 2 for two years now without seam sealing it. I've never had it leak so far. I have two hiker friends that haven't seam sealed theirs either, with no leaks. I definitely would not recommend the Lanshan Pro though. Even with seam sealing, we've had them leak! I hope that helps! 😀
I thought that the goats were laughing at you(they don't need tents). Try Try(Act Old Later) is jumping up to PA because of slow progress. You might want to talk to her.
Does your daughter wear combat boots? She actually needs the jacket to go with that outfit. The extra pockets are great.
The color and transparency may be solved with a dark lightweight tarp or poncho over it. Try some of those anti slip stickers for the bathtub, on your tyvek. Good Luck, Rick
Yes she does wear combat boots! She has a black pair that my brother brought back for her the last time he was here. She would love to have the jacket too. She wants to join the service. She loves her country; I doubt there's a more patriotic person than her in PA. Lol. Good idea for the tarp or poncho. Not sure why I didn't think of that!
@@icebearhikes I hope that you and I have a conversation before she talks to a recruiter. I did 29 years but, the military benefits have been cut drastically and service members are being repeatedly sent to the sandbox until they are killed or wounded or burned out. They are then kicked out and abandoned.
My comment on the poncho is an example of the Kibitzer's Law in engineering which states that "the longer you look at and struggle with a problem, the quicker a passerby will point out the solution". I'll look for a jacket for your daughter. Good Luck, Rick
So I am a dummy and did untie the pre-tied loops. Once I realized my mistake I tied the loops back in with my best estimate. Works, but I have been wondering what the pre-measured spot is where it should be tied. Any chance you could measure and report back where exactly the knot *should* be tied? Thanks.
I will do this tomorrow and get back to you. That is a very good question!
Andrew, the short and sweet answer is to tie a knot at 25 inches from the black clip that hooks onto the bottom of the vestibule. I am dropping a short video on the measuring to give a visual as soon as I get it edited. Should be up no later than tomorrow morning, if not tonight. I hope that helps!
@@icebearhikes thanks!
@@icebearhikes thank you, much appreciated.
I'm one of those who united it as well. Haven't been able to get it right since. The tent pitches tight but dealing with the vestibule is not as our should be. I may be missing the exact way to connect the cord after I united it.
Thanks! Mine looks flimsy - should I make my trekking poles longer/higher? It’s really blowing in the wind
Yes, it sounds like they need to be extended higher. Lanshans are made so that you can pull them stretched-tight.
Do you know what length you put your trekking poles on for the best fit? Still struggling here lol
@@valeriemay7366 I set mine at 45 inches, but you can definitely go higher if you'd like. Most of us set them between 45-50 inches. I hope that helps!
But what if I Did untie the nifty little knot on the front guy line??
I saw that you found my "knot" video. You're right; a lot of us untied it! 😄
Well done. Is there a four season model of this lanshan?
You can purchase the 4 season inner tent from AlliExpress. The inner tent that comes standard with it is 3 season. I've seen some hikers that use it all year round, but I haven't tried winter with it yet.
My friend, Senior Hiker 77, has both the 3 season and 4 season inners. He's on youtube; he's mentioned the differences in some of his older videos.
Thank you kindly I’m in Canada 🇨🇦 amazon sells both I see
@@andrewmacaulay1585 Ah, Amazon is a great way to go! They replaced the Lanshan 2 that I broke with no questions asked! I didn't know that they had the 4 season inner tent on there now. That's awesome. Thank you for letting me know. P.S. Canada is beautiful!
I’m in New Brunswick Canada..close to Maine
How's it been holding up?
I still use a Lanshan 2, and I still have this yellow one. I retired it for a less conspicuous green colored one. It's never failed me! 👊
@@icebearhikes thank you for you feedback. Your video on the Lanshan is one of the best. I keep hearing mier is the way to go. . I have tents for back packing but wanted something lighter as this will be my first trekking pole tent. Thank you again .
Tell chapstick I watched because I wanted a common-sense setup guide from a real person. Thanks!
Went up lickety split, thanks!
That's so awesome! I'm glad we could help! 😁
Thanks you did a good job and I watch these to evaluate the tent. This tent is a spot of one of the best tents made (zpac). Tell the teenager to buy her own. You should seal it.
Thank you! 😁
HELLo please could you tell me the height of your poles as I would want to purchase this with carbon poles not hiking poles. Great review
Hi! I generally set my trekking poles between 44 inches and 46 inches, but some taller people set them a little higher. Between 44-46 inches is a good tent hieght for me. Hope that helps! 😀
She’s so cheeky!🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣
Very helpful thank you!
I just did my first blind setup of this tent in my yard a few days ago and it was hilariously wrong. Thank you for the step-by-step!
@@BackcountryPilgrim So glad I was able to help! 😃
@@icebearhikes Yup, I just went out and filmed my second set up and it worked like a charm! I will mention you when I drop my video. :-)
@@BackcountryPilgrim Thank you! I'm so glad it worked out for you! 😁👊
@@BackcountryPilgrim I just subscribed to you 👍👍
Did the seams leak? Or did you seal them?
No, the seams have never leaked on me. There's no need to seal the Lanshan 2. The Lanshan Pro does need seam sealed though, if you choose that model.
What’s the link for your stuff sack?
I added a link in the description for my stuff sack. 👊
Hi, Whats the difference between the Lanshan 1 and Lanshan 2, Is it that the Lanshan 1 is a one person while the Lanshan 2 is a two person?
The lanshan 2 says 2 person tent, but it's a tight squeeze for 2 people. I prefer solo camping with the Lanshan 2 so that I can bring my pack inside. The Lanahan 1 is a 1 person tent, no room for your pack.
IceBear hikes Ok thanks
@@Kinghassz the lanshan 1 also only uses 1 trekking pole as opposed to 2.
scottyplug oh ok, Do u need a tarp for these tents?
The tent comes with a rain fly, but no foot print. Is that what you are asking? It's a complete, waterproof tent as-is, but you could lay a tarp or foot print underneath to help protect the floor of the tent.
Hi, Another question I have is that do these tents come with trecking poles or do you have to buy them separately?
You have to buy trekking poles separately; it does not come with them. It will work with almost any type of trekking poles though.
Help! I didn't watch your video until I tried to set up my Lanshan 2. I untied the knots on the vestibule. How do I know where to tie it back? Thanks.
Oooh, I got you covered. I broke my very first Lanshan 2 and had to order a new one... I made sure to measure the factory knots this time around. They are set at 25 inches on both sides. We did a video on it if a visual is helpful: ruclips.net/video/RfhBzX6JkmU/видео.html
@@icebearhikes I found the video, thanks.
Looks cool but definitely not for stealth camping hahah love the color though
😆 So true!
Any new feedback on this since you've made the video. Thanks!
This one has held up very well for me, considering what I've put it through. I've never sealed it, and it continues to keep me dry. The yellow color always attracts the bugs; they get in between the rain fly and the inner tent and buzz for hours. I've torn 3 holes in this one on the sharp little pinecones in Georgia... one patch came off, but one patch is still holding tight. I am going to change over to the 4 season inner tent this week and will do a video on it. I'll be taking it back to Georgia in February; hopefully the pinecones stay away! I have stopped using a ground cloth/tyvek with it. I have two friends who swear that they never use a ground cloth, and they've both owned their Lanshan 2's for over two years now. Overall, it's a great tent if you treat it well. I've been very rough on mine, but it hasn't let me down. 👍👍
@@icebearhikes Thanks for your reply. As an idea, maybe a video on any repairs you do as well.
@@blacksquirrelbushcraft2643 I have a patching video
ruclips.net/video/zj-ckJCijiM/видео.html
The inner patch is still intact. The bottom patch came off in the weather. I'll check with Senior to see what tape he uses to patch his tent.
@@blacksquirrelbushcraft2643 Here's how Senior Hiker 77 patches his Lanshan:
ruclips.net/video/iXEw6I_aPo8/видео.html
I'm going to get some of the tenacious tape to carry.
How did it handel with no water proofing.
I didn't have any leaks whatsoever. Stayed completely dry.
How do you get the vestibule line tight without raising the vestibule 2 ft off the ground?
That is a VERY good question! The vestibules are actually made to come up off the ground a good bit for optimum air flow. They can be adjusted somewhat lower if you lower your trekking pole height. I like to adjust the guy lines in different ways to bring it to a more desirable level too. I hope that helps!
IceBear hikes thank you. Well it took me longer than I was hoping...but practice makes perfect 👌
I imagine you could just stake vestibule separately from the guy lines if you wanted to. Extra stakes, but more control. I did see one fellow do that.
What is the height of the trekking pole?
I set mine at around 45 inches, or 110 cm. You can definitely go higher though, if you want to. I know a few hikers that go higher than I do.
Still... The materials this tent is made off, are pretty stretchy, and the tent sags easily (does not keep shape = double walls touch = condensation drops).
But I'll give few more tries with different stakes (longer), maybe change the tension ropes of vestibules (original are somehow stretchy)
Nice vids tnx
I've never had condensation issues with the Lanshan 2. I do have some condensation with the Lanshan Pro, being a single wall tent.
@@icebearhikes I was up high in the mountains, and setup my tent in a well grown area, grass and flowers. I had condensation problems because I could not keep the tent tension. I've tighten the vestibules guidelines 3 or 4 times, than I went sleeping, and in the morning the tent was saged up.. Like a potato bag...
Both walls were touching so... ye I had droplets transfer
Oh goodness! That's no good! You can pull it pretty taut, but if the stakes pull up, it will sag like that. There are also loops at the top that you can run a paracord line through to tie off to trees, if that might help? I hope you can get it; wet sleep is no sleep at all! 😬
@@icebearhikes I did sleep anyway :D
I will try with longer stakes than the original supplied with.
Those tent stakes go in so easy when we test them at home but may God help us when we bend the shite out of them trying to pound them into the hard ground in the real world.
Sweeps tripped over my first Lanshan and bent the one stake pretty good! Lol. Hopefully the two glow in the dark'ers are a little sturdier.
Mier means "peace" in the Slovak language :)
That's so cool! 😀
Thanks! How has it held up to rain?
I'm so sorry; I missed your comment somehow! It is fantastic in the rain. I've had it in several downpours and never got any water inside. It keeps me dry, and I know I can count on it to hold up. The previous one that I owned that had a manufacturing defect tore DURING a crazy heavy rain, and it still kept me completely dry. It has a very short bathtub floor, but it stays dry. I personally prefer a freestanding tent and dont mind the extra weight of them, but I cant say anything bad about this tent (other than the color- yellow attracts the bugs). I apologize; I have no idea how I missed your comment. Thank you for watching! 😀👍
Do you think that ordering from amazon is a better idea, compared to ordering from aliexpress? because I dont believe that aliexpress would have sent you a replacement just like that..
Yes, I definitely think Amazon is the better way to go. I don't know that AliExpress does returns or exchanges. Amazon sent me a replacement tent instantly, then asked me to return the defective tent. I was very happy with the way they helped me out.
I bought a titanium spoon that got bent and damaged in shipping through ali express. Raised a dispute and had an apology and a refund within a day. I guess it depends on the seller but I was super happy
@@jessicathomas7252 That's awesome! I wasnt sure how they would react to a torn tent. It sounds like they have good customer service though!
You can get a different inner for this tent, the 4 season. It has a solid body as opposed to the all screen netting inside, and a somewhat higher bathtub floor coming up the sides. With the 4 season coupled with the fly, the tent is very much NOT see through. It's about $70 on aliexpress. Free shipping :)
I'm going to get one. It's been a bit too airy in the cold weather. I'm excited to try it out! 😀
Waw beutifule
Great daughter
Класс!
Thanks. Helpful video.
Very useful. Thanks!
excellent video. thank you!
