3F UL GEAR - Lanshan 1P

No yeah this is the one. I used it on the AT and it’s still in great shape.

Lanshan is probably your best bet, but really consider your priorities here. This will be your home for a month.

Every influencer and their mom has done a "budget Walmart gear" review video; just watch those. For that price range you'd be better off with a cheap Chinese tent; a Lanshan or similar.

I have the Lanshan and the X-Mid. Both 2 Pro. Both are terrific tents. The Lanshan is perhaps the better value because of its low price. The X-Mid is the better performer because of its lighter weight and clever design. Both are fine 2 person tents with excellent materials and well performing layouts; although both are cramped for two people.

Can confirm. I started out with the Lanshan only to buy the Durston a year later. The Lanshan isn’t bad per se, the Durston is just so much better :) I got the Durston on an online marketplace in the Netherlands, maybe you can find something similar in your country.

NatureHike and Lanshan tents are reasonable quality, lightweight and cheap. Look on eBay for any used cheap tent by Big Agnes, Tarptent, etc. The lightest warm sleeping bag will have down filling. They are expensive but you can always find cheaper ones used on eBay. As a rule of thumb, most people can sleep without a sleeping bag at around 70 to 75°F in a tent, on a sleeping mat, wearing some clothes. For every 10°F below that you need an inch of down filling. In a sleeping bag that means half an inch above you and half an inch below you. So you can work out how warm a down sleeping bag will be by measuring its thickness once it’s shaken and puffed up fully, and for each inch of total thickness it should keep you warm at 10° below 70°. So a down sleeping bag that is 4 inches thick in total should be warm at 30° F. It’s a useful way to estimate how warm an older sleeping is, as the ‘comfort’ temperature given can be misleading. A sleeping bag with a long zip can be opened out as a quilt in warm weather. Use a good sleeping mat or pad. Usually I’d want two foam mats of about 8mm each. They fold up easily for packing. Decathlon usually have them but don’t use yoga mats, they’re too heavy.

Get a 3ful lanshan if u need cheap

I've just got a lanshan and heading out on Monday, will let you know how it holds up. I had the hyena || which was great but was a little small for my 6'5 ass

I’d recommend checking out the side bar which has an ultra cheap gear list. I’d recommend trying a nemo switchback which is cheaper and way lighter. For quilts check out iceflame or aegis max. That’s a really heavy sleeping bag and probably won’t be as warm as it advertises. For tent look into a lanshan which will be significantly lighter for the same price. A 65L pack is huge and that’s pretty heavy so I’d keep looking for a pack. Check UL gear trade as packs come up on there frequently

I’ve had good luck with my $150 3FUL Lanshan tent. It’s pretty light and has kept me dry in thunderstorms.

My Lanshan is the model from about 4 years ago, and it seems like they’ve made some changes to it since then. Still, my tent flaps like crazy in the wind even when I get a great pitch. It’s kept me dry in full on thunderstorms, but it is a noisy tent.

I like my Lanshan well enough for being a budget tent. It’s kept my dry in multiple rain storms and is light for its price point. On the PCT I met a ton of people who swear by their xmid’s. It’s a nice, light tent. I might look into Six Moon Designs as well if you haven’t yet. I switched to a SMD tent this year and am very happy with it.

The Lanshan design really doesn't allow for airflow. Leaving the door flaps open at night and camping far away from water was the only time I didn't have tons of condensation on the walls. After three years of sleeping with a towel near my head, I ditched the Lanshan. Many other tents have a ridged velcro-covered "stick" to keep vent flaps open, and nearly all of them have two vents, so air can actually flow.
