Lanshan 1

Look into this one: [Lanshan 1](http://3fulgear.com/product/ultralight-tent/lanshan-1/) Great price point, not the absolute lightest of the light but still very much in ultralight territory at 900g. I have it in khaki and the colour is fantastic

Oh boy... too many. 1. Okay we still have our 35 year old family Coleman. haven't used it in 25+ but its sort of a relic to the uppermost shelf of our closet. Like my childhood dollhouse, i just keep it around for sentimentality. 2. My winter tent is a 15 year old dark green 1.5p that's sturdy AF, moderately heavy, and needs to be seam sealed again but still going strong. I don't do a lot of winter hiking so no need to get a new one, just occasionally needs to be re-waterproofed. 3. Lanshan 1, mixed feelings about it. I find it hard to pitch on any sort of rocky terrain and it sure is fiddly, but I really like other aspects about it. Let's call it a draw, Lanshan. 4. Cloud Up 1 pro, LOVE LOVE LOVE this tent other than it's in the beige shade and 2 months after I bought it they released it in dark green. \*pouts I love it so much I may spend the $80 freakin' dollars to get a second fly for it grumble grumble (or maybe I'll just get dark green camo netting and carry it extra) 5. Mongar 2 UL. My latest edition. I needed a 2 person tent and this is a great value and seems really good quality. I've only used it twice but impressions are favorable. It's really big. Maybe that's just because I'm used to 1p tents. 6. Geertop Plume 2 bivy tent. Hmmm... they have bad customer service, let's get that out of the way. It's also polyester and heavy and a bivy so condensation is an issue. All that said, I really like this tent. It's BEYOND stealthy. Heck, in low lighting I can literally stand next to it and barely see it. It's also surprisingly comfortable and well laid out for a bivy. 7. And three bivy bags and a tarp. I haven't really had the chance to try cowboy tent camping yet. TLDR: 10 if you include the bags and tarp. Favorite: Cloud Up 1 pro, least favorite: lanshan 1

For my money, the original lanshan has been a very good value. Taking it out agian for two weeks again next month. FYI you may need to seam seal yourself. I also used a 3F UL frameles backpack. Designed to use a closed cell foam sleeping pad as pseudoframe. it got the job done but had a penchant for snapping a few plastic components.

I own this - you can pitch the edge low to minimise wind and as you note, reducing ventilation will create a LOT of condensation. The extra nylon will not do much in true 3 season conditions (I rely on a good sleeping bag) and don't even consider this for cold weather FYI. Unsolicited recommendation: unless you are a gram-weenie (obsessed with weight) or tall and need the foot space (6'1'' or longer) steer away from the pro and towards the double-walled version which will manage the condensation better. Finally I think it still doesn't come factory sealed on the seams so consider that for Scottish weather... I've used the Lanshan 1 and Lanshan 1 pro extensively in the UK and European mountains. It's an excellent budget trekking pole tent but make sure you practice putting it up when you aren't in real-world conditions (pilrig park often sees me staking out a new tent in the midday sun!)

Someone else mentioned the (3FUL) Lanshan 1. From memory mine weighs in at about ~850g and packs down nice and small. Ideal if you already use trekking poles. Takes a bit of practice setting up to get a good pitch though so if you get one, try it out in the garden or something first. There are numerous YT videos of various mods you can do to it too to improve setup. I really like mine.

Solid start. Great choice on the bag, the Nemo pad and sleeping bag and stove. I have the same style stove and the big round end like the one you got vs the jet is definitely the way to go. For the sleeping pad I would make sure the long will fit where you need it. Definitely get the wide but I have the standard/wide and I’m 6’2 and it’s perfect. If you are above 6’2 and it will fit in your tent go with the long. Also, get a Nemo switchback to go under it. It acts as sorta a boxspring and make your night wayyyy more comfortable. For the sleeping bag I would recommend looking into quilts. If you are going to go the sleeping bag route the Nemo is the only way to go. However I had a Nemo sleeping bag and swapped it out for a quilt and never looked back. For the tent I would also recommend a trekking pole tent. Look into the Lanshan 1 or 2. I have the 1 and absolutely love it. Get the standard Not the pro!

Lanshan 1 or 2, you can thank me later

Best? Not sure. My favorite, Lanshan 1 or 2.

Yes the 3F UL Lanshan 2, I have the Lanshan 1 and love it. You can thank me later

I am choosing a tent myself right now. Set up on the carpet in my office and compared Lanshan 1 and 2 and Sierra Design High Route 1. Lanshan 2 is an incredible thing for the weight and price. Just unbelievable.

I did look at that but I’m a bit concerned about how weather proof it’ll be. In the UK it’s generally frowned upon to camp below the tree line as wild camping is technically illegal, which is why so many people lug around hillebergs. Do you have any personal experience with how trekking pole tents handle strong winds?
