3F UL GEAR - Lanshan 1P Pro

This tent sucks but if you don't have the money what can you do. Honestly I would say you are wasting your money if you plan to use it for hiking in other trips. It is a good tent for camping with a car etc. though. You don't need to spend 400 euros. There is decathlon mt900 2p which is around 190 euros and it is really good, but yes it's way more expensive than this one.  There is also Lanshan 2p from AliExpress for around 109 euros with discounts at the moment, it's really good, plenty of people did through hikes with it and I have quite a few miles on one  myself, I also have 1p pro version and walked traumpfad with it. ( You will need either walking sticks or to buy poles separately) If you buy the one you showed mount it to the bottom instead of top, it will be much more stable carry.

I second the Lanshan 2P (or 1P) good value, can be bit finicky to set up, and needs a couple of mods, but lightweight for the size and durable for the price. Have been using mine for 3 years now

Not listed, but last year I bought the 3F UL Lanshan 1 pro tent, and Qidian pro backpack and have lived out of them on many multi day trips. Overall quality and lightweight goes far beyond what I would expect at the low cost

Been carrying the Lanshan 1 Pro for about a year now and its great! Under 2 lbs, under $200. No need for ground sheet. Needs to be seam sealed but has not leaked in serious downpours. The inside can get dewy overnight but air dries quickly in the sun.

Yeah. I basically pitch It opened whenever is possible. Even under rain, I try to pitch the door high so there is more airflow from below and I even dont zip the doors together to the end, so more airflow. (lanshan 1 pro) Im now going to upgrade to a 2p tent (durston at a 95% chance) so I can play with two doors for the ventilation (also the more indoor room is welcome)

I have the lanshan 1 pro which is of good quality and can recommend it. Second for the seam sealing as being an approachable process, it requires a quick practice ti get used but it's worth it, especially if you got the space/time to do it.

The Lanshan 1 Pro, new model with the T Door fly that opens both right and left side. Is super lightweight (650 gr or about 24oz). Sets up with one trekking pole, takes a small amount of real estate to set up in. Only downside is the tent needs to be seam sealed. Best seam-seal is use clear silicone, in a cup, dilute with paint thinner until it has a consistency of pancake syrup, paint on liberally to all the seams with a small paint brush or sponge brush. The whole process takes about a half hour, allow a couple hours to dry. I’ve had mine for a few seasons and I’ve done multiple hikes on the JMT, very happy with it. Current price: Ali Express: $155 US. https://preview.redd.it/9hb53qnkmute1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4b2bd2ac4a6ba6b33ce6bb622defdd99ce599b6f

Would get the Lanshan 1 Pro honestly it's lighter and cheaper and bigger and better.

I prefer a 1p as a solo hiker. I don't really understand why people feel the need for 2 or 3 person tents when they are using it alone. When I'm on a backpacking trip I'm pretty much only confined to my rent when I'm sleeping, and I don't really see the point of additional room to sleep. I'm only bringing a single person sleeping pad anyways, so it's just empty room. For reference I'm 188 cm (6'2") and not a slender dude. For your budget you can get a lanshan 1 or 1 pro. The pro version comes in silpoly (and silnylon, but I would buy the poly version) and has a bit more room but is single wall and requires seamsealing. Non pro is smaller, but comes with tapped seams and is double walled. Either one requires a trekking pole, but that's something I would use even if I was using a freestanding tent.

my 13 year old uses her own lanshan 2 pro, has used it for 2 years now. I use a lanshan 1 pro. maybe your kids can split one tent?

The langshan 1 did me well on the coast 2 coast a few years ago.

This is the truth. It's nearly impossible to beat it for quality vs price.

The lanshan pro is cheap and works well.

I've heard good things about that cloud tent, I've never seen it in person. I believe it's a three season tent, you wouldn't want to use it when it's too cold out. The 3FUL Lanshan Pro is a great ultralight budget tent which I have. It does require trekking poles to stand. That Nemo sleep mat is good as long as you are not a side sleeper. A 65L bag is big.

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.

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.

I am 6'3", have both and used them a bunch (when I take people hiking they get the Lanshan and I get the xmid). The Lanshan is terrific- like some have said, you will need to seam seal. But I have found it can be even roomier than the xmid as long as you use the two side wall guyouts. There is a technique where you take a stick, wrap the guyout around it near the top and then continue to the ground and into a stake. This pulls out those sidewalls and makes it seem so much bigger, especially for head room. That being said, my original silpoly xmid2p is a near perfect tent and the one I use on most trips. My only gripe is the large footprint can sometimes be problematic in heavily wooded or uneven terrain. I believe the Lanshan is silnylon, so based on your climate I would go with an xmid. It won't sag in heavy rain and won't absorb water if you have to pack it up slightly wet.

I’ll second the lanshan. Surprisingly good build quality for the price. I like that the 1p only requires one trekking pole to set up. I have the pro version and it’s like 650g or something… Otherwise I’d also absolutely recommend the X-Mid. Probably the best overall tent on the market and reasonably priced

3fUL lanshan if he uses trekking poles, or naturehike cloud up for a freestanding tent. if he wants to hammock: onewind aerie hammock and 12' onewind winter tarp package. for both he needs insulation underneath him and on top of him. a sleeping bag is not enough.

That's what I got. Should be here this week. The Lanshan is the model from 3f UL but it needs trekking poles

Mongar 2 UL will be the best freestanding tent on your list It's a toss-up between the x mid and the 3ful. Depends on if you want the top top quality or saving money. 3f UL isn't bad it just isn't the x mid.  All these UL options are fragile, don't forget. UL great needs to be treated carefully

Get a lanshan :) I have one and it is amazing

I don't know how any of those name-brand tents made it into a "budget" list. You may be able to find older models of the BA tents on clearance right now, in which case they do actually approach "budget" status. From those, I would choose the Copper Spur for livability, but everyone's different. If you are open to trekking pole tents, look at the Lanshan tents. Lightweight, proven and actually a budget friendly option. Even some of the Amazon knockoffs can be okay for the price (and I'm not one to usually utter that sentence) - I have a $100 knockoff from a nothing brand on Amazon that I've actually gotten so much more than my money's worth out of over the years. Weighs a kilo. It's a gamble, though. With big brands at least you get warranty support.

The tent is too big for me. I don’t mind the internal space (but it is more than I need) but the footprint is huge and tough to stake out in the PNW. Length is great for my height but it is really wide. I’m 5’10”. Also the tent just doesn’t seem to pitch as easily as my Lanshan. If I have tons of space, pitching isn’t bad, but often I’m compressed in a smaller area, or I target an smaller area because it is flatter and getting a good pitch is hard due to the massive footprint. I really don’t like the rainbow zipper. Have to unzip a big length of it to get out. The tent acts as a bug trap at the top outside the mesh. So having to open the mesh and it falls down means bugs in your tent. Also it’s just tough to get out of unless you unzip the rainbow like 90% or more. I liked my Lanshans zipper better where you can unzip and the mesh hangs down keeping bugs out while you stick your feet out and put your shoes on. Also the rainbow zipper is oddly low for how tall this tent is, I think they just copy-pasted the rainbow dimensions from the duplex. When getting out I oftentimes snag my back on the top of the rainbow zipper. There is so much extra mesh above it, they could have made it higher up leading to a bigger door. I don’t like the trekking pole extension. I am always paranoid I will lose it and bringing more stuff like that runs counter to UL philosophy. It also makes pitching the tent more difficult because it is spring loaded so you have to keep the pole under a lot of tension while staking out the tent. Last, the vestibule doors are a PITA to latch together. The hook is far away from the tent zipper (due to the size of the tent) so it is a reach to do and the tent is usually quite tensioned out making pulling a door to the latch harder. There are a ton of things I like about this tent but these are the things that have really stood out to me.

The Lanshan has the guy line for the doors connected with the guy lone for the top of the pole, so the doors are less 'pointed down'.

If you use trekking poles, it’s hard to beat a 3F UL Gear Lanshan. Still relatively reasonable cost and very lightweight for the money. If pitched right, they take on just about any weather.
