I do an alternative route that's considerably easier and far less busy - climbing up the right of Mahon Falls (fun and spectacular in its own right) and walking across to the top of the lake wall. Stunning. No scrambling.

👍💯👍

Hi Martin. Great review. I’ve just ordered one. What is the best angle for the end poles to reduce any sag? 👍👍

Nice thoroughly review! I looked at this tent a while ago, but ended up getting a copper spur UL2. I'm still interested in this one for other purposes, probally i'll get on when it goes on sale :-) About the zipper at 13:00, woulden't you be able to add another zipper yourself?

Definitely affordable....compared to Zpacks

The trekking pole point goes in the ground

Hi , excuse me . Are thoes shoes smaller in soze or bigger in size ?

Hi Martin. Lovely opening drone footage 👌, and then the mist comes 🤨. You guys looked like you had a good time. Ian certainly knows how to put on a gourmet delight. Good to hear that you got sorted with work, there is nothing as bad as that type of uncertainty. All the best and take care 👍

thanks so much 😊

Спасибо за обзор.

Glad it's not just me that's slow at pitching the lanshan! Lovely video as always.

Relatively new subscriber here. Just wanted to thank you for the time and effort you put into making these videos. You kinda inspired me to get back into nature and attempt some local trails. Amazing how good it is for the mind and soul.

Such a great video Martin. So funny too. I think too much Captain Morgans was consumed. A stunning place to rest your head too. Beautiful. Was so good to hear the life updates too pal. Congrats on the new job!!!!🎉🎉🎉 This is the best news.

Good man Martin, I really enjoyed your first bit of video there with the ASMR vibe! I'm with you on the Lanshan as a great starter tent, I have a two person one ( I'm too feckin big to fit in a one person 😆). I'm glad to hear that you have got a new job, I hope it goes well, a new job takes getting used to. Not that work is everything but we all have to pay the bills. It isn't all wild camps and glorious scenery in life, but it helps! Take it handy and mind the head, mental health is so important! ATB George

Svea army ?

8:19 Per the US manufacturers specs the Jetboil Stash pot and heat exchanger are aluminum. Only the stove head is titanium despite the price.

Absolutely loved the first 2-3 minutes of footage. Drone shots were excellent. Your journey with gear and weight was similar to mine. Lanshan is a great tent for the money, in my opinion, and I'd recommend it for anyone as well.

Great stuff lads

Thanks!

An amazing intro Martin, great video as usual keep up the good work 👏 👍

I see you are still trying to get use for your new camera - rain and fog in Kerry and fog in Clare. Thanks for bringing us along

Have been wanting to go to the Burren for some time now, and your two videos from there have just cemented that idea, can’t wait to head there now. Really enjoyed the intro to this one, set the mood up perfectly. 👍

Stumbled across your video this morning. Nice footage. And I hear ya on the redundancy. After 35 years I finish the end of March next year. Totally weird feeling and very steessful. Mind you, I'll have more time for camping adventures. The Slieve Blooms won't know what hit it 😅

I was very surprised that the little X boil did so well. That will be my next stove for an ultralight set up. 🙏

Very glad to hear that it's all working out for you Martin. Love the epic drone footage by the way 👌😂

Delighted your sorted you deserve the best as you give great encouragement and entertainment in your videos. Another place I must get to .Take care and stay safe .

Your own private hot tub up there Martin! 🤩 Great that you are out the other side of the stressful situation and congrats on the new job 👏😎 Hope they don’t have you working too hard now 🤞

Well done. Love that tent. Nice review. New follower here. Crow✌️

Great video Martin, used PayPal buy some beer. Love watching ❤❤

Thanks for the shoutout Martin. Always a pleasure to head out for a camp in such good company. And congratulations (in advance) on 5k subs!

Can its moded fo fit in trangia ?

Really good review vid. Thanks! Will be I teresting to see how you get on with this tent, sure looks great 😊

Will this camp stove fit in the titanium 650 ml cup or 750 ml cup u had in this video

Trangia all day long for me, they're bomb proof, I find the x boil types don't work as well as yours did and soot up the bottom of pans and mess tins much worse (using meths) whereas the Trangia doesn't seem to. I also think if you trod on the X-boil type by accident you could render it unusable. On multi day hikes I'll take robustness and reliability over anything else, and that's where the Trangia reigns supreme.

Mine is 1.7kg according to my scales, it's a great tent, very easy to pitch and and pack away and can take a beating, condensation is not really a problem in my experience, one of those hidden gems IMHO. By the way, the spare guys are not for the middle pole, they're for the small orange holes on the pole at both ends. It's not a 4 season tent in my experience, too drafty, but is great in warmer weather.

I have 2 p double walled for 1.8kg...

You should try Amok Draumr 5.0

I’ve used a Trangia burner since 1987 when I bought a Mini Trangia for long distance trail backpacking, cycle touring day hikes and rock climbing days. Talking of quality, I’ve never had to replace it, or even the rubber sealing ring. I just wire brush/wire wool the burner’s jet ring and the inside of the reservoir every time it gets slightly corroded/dirty and poke a needle or pin through the jet holes. Next I fill it about halfway with water, screw on the cap and give it a good shaking to dislodge anything I can’t get to, empty out, repeat a couple of times until it’s clear water with no particles and leave it to dry out over a day or two. Never leave it with fuel in it after a trip, always burn it off. It was the only one I’d used up until about 10 years ago when I decided to make my gear a bit lighter and I made my own out of thin aluminium skinned pop/beer cans. Now the Trangia gets used for base camps and for winter and temperatures approaching freezing and below. My homemade ones are restricted to backpacking treks/cycle tours over several days or weeks. The the reason for Trangia winter use is that I pre-fuel the burner, screw the cap on and keep it in an inside pocket to keep it at body heat. This ensures it will light as normal. If you get a non-sharp syringe 💉 online (I use one from a computer printer ink cartridge refill kit) then you can measure how much fuel you require to make a mug of hot drink, a stew etc. This saves wastage. The other use for the syringe is to encircle the base of the Trangia’s screw thread with fuel, the base’s rim forming a gutter, then empty the rest of your measure in the burner’s reservoir. Light the circle of fuel first which heats up the jet ring, the flame transfers to the reservoir and primes faster. If you add 10% water to meths ratio, your fuel will go 10% further and it reduces sooting, because the purple dye in the meths is reduced. There is no noticeable reduction in performance. Treat your Trangia with care, and you won’t need to buy another one unless you lose it. 😉
