Haha unfortunately hand sewing another one would take way too long

Haha yes, although this one didn’t come with instructions!

Thank you Sam

I have the standard version, with has held up fine. I’ve been told (but cannot confirm) that the down is not live plucked as it’s a byproduct of the meat industry

@@RichardCheng ok awesome. Good they weren't suffering during the taking. I'm getting the length version because it wouldn't be nice if the quilt is too short. So do you think a wide rectangular pad is able to go inside due to the tapered lower part of the quilt?

@hooptroopers l think it could, but may stretch the filling out which makes it less warm

I’d say being double layered, the Lanshan 1 is better at handling condensation than the Pro, but it’s manageable in the Pro

@@RichardCheng OK, Thanks for the fast reply. I'm still in two minds as to which one to get but if they had the same amount of condensation then probably would go straight for the single skin pro and buy a sponge cloth.

Thank you Tyler!

I don’t use the footprint, I use polycro/window insulation instead of

Hey, I still get cold feet, but since have bought down booties which has helped a lot!

Thank you Jonas

Thank you so much, I’m glad it’s helped you!

Hey Dan, my top size is usually XS or S if that’s useful for context. I would go with the slim for my build

@@RichardCheng thanks Richard 🙏

Thank you!

I find a small microfibre cloth is more than enough for wiping away the condensation

@@RichardCheng 👍

I have a mini ball head that’s not ideal for panning, but you can add a different mini ball head for panning, or a quick release plate as well

@@RichardCheng Yeah, I'm actually using it with a different ball head myself. What I wanted to say was that the part you describe as a knob for 360° pano at ca. 2:12, is also used for releasing the camera. It's a proprietary quick release system. :)

Thank you!

Hey! The backpack still holds up - I’ve not used it to carry more weight, since I’ve been reducing my overall backpacking gear weight

@@RichardCheng You're insane! My big 3 alone are over 6kg already haha. How do you get your gear so light?

Going for ultralight big 3/4 really helps - all of my big 3/4 are under 800g individually 😄

Thank you! Yes the landscape is wild and magical

Hey, there is a zip, cinch, and snappers all along the quilt

@@RichardCheng Thank you :)

@@RichardCheng PS: I think you chose the best colour combination. Yellow and green. Do you ever find the 233 is too warm for UK conditions? Or you're happy you chose that instead of the 200?

@_Chris390 I find 233 perfect for 3 season UK conditions, especially camping on exposed ridges and summits in Scotland

@@RichardChengThank you. I guess they have quite a wide temp range depending on clothing, footwear, headgear, tent etc.

Glad to help!

Thanks Chris

I did it in July, and the rough route was given to me by the hostel

Thank you!

Thank you Ella!

It has a rigid back correct

I think you’ll be okay in the Pro, as long as your mat isn’t super thick!

@@RichardChengThanks a lot for your time, Richard. I am also seaching for a budget light backpack in the range of 50-60 l. You have a few videos about backpacks, but if I'm not mistaken there are in the 40 l area. So, any advice would be very much appreciated!

@g.sebastianpedersen3136 I’d look into Osprey Exos, which come in a variety of sizes, and good comfort for their weight

@@RichardChengThanks a lot again 👍

Thank you so much

Making as in pitching? If so yes, the tent is easy to pitch once you’ve done it a few times

I came across local people who were very friendly! No safety concerns for me as a male Mandarin speaker

Nope no smell as far as I can tell 😄

There aren’t many air mats that are significantly cheaper for a similar warmth rating. I have an Exped Synmat that I bought on sale which is comparable!

@@RichardCheng Thank you! At first glance that looks quite similar to the Nemo Tensor - which was my 1st choice until now. I'll have a deeper look tomorrow, maybe i find some discount for either of them.

No probs!

Thanks Bigbee. I’m not aware of any Chinese manufacturers selling DCF at prices significantly lower than North American and European counterparts

Thank you Jack

I’ve not measured the packing size, but I would guess it’s around 2L, possibly less if you cinch it tight using the supplied storage dry bag

Thank you Paul!

Thank you so much Mark

Great to hear - thank you!

Good question, I’ve heard it most often pronounced like ‘soo-li-ven’

@@RichardCheng I see! I lived in Scotland for 5 years many years ago and did many hikes including some long walks and about 30 Munros. I absolutely loved this special country but had to leave. Now I have settled in the Vancouver area of BC, Canada but still watches many landscape and hiking videos. Thank you for sharing your adventures.

@michaelyblam thank you Michael!

Thanks - it mimics the set up of similar tarp tents such as the MLD cricket

It’s the 3 season version. It was brilliant in Peru in the wind and cold, but I can’t comment how it deals with very snowy conditions

@@RichardCheng Thanks!

Hi Travis, on this trek there are dedicated campsites which are nice and flat, with good views. I’m not 100% sure about the regulations for wild camping, especially for the Salkantay trek which Liam and I did not do

@@RichardCheng thank you! Do these need to be booked in advance?

Nope, just turn up!

Thank you!

I don’t think they do unfortunately

I think the 35L may now be out of production - but I've linked the 55L in the description which looks to mirror the design of the 35L

Thank you Johnny - I’m jealous of the fact that you lived in Peru!

Not possible to move the ‘snap on’ straps, but you can tighten and loosen the drawstrings at the top and the bottom

Tanks à lot ! Does it mean tje distance between the 2 snaps, on the top, can be changed ?

No, none of the snaps can be changed. The drawstrings can be tightened or loosened to your liking

OK, thanks à lot

You’re very welcome

Thank you Johnny!

Yes - the Assynt area is my favourite in Scotland!
