This is a good bit larger than many mids,
certainly the inner has a bit more room than my older model MLD Duomid
So 182 cms should be ok

Stop it!!! I read it and was nearly opening up another tab to get onto Massdrop

Just was browsing Aliexpress and saw that the Lanshan 1 had been updated to be more of a traditional 'mid now. Looks to be a better design than the original Lanshan 1.
I am tempted to buy one as the Lanshan 2 has been such a surprisingly good tent for my family and I, but am saving myself for an X-Mid. I must remain true to my goal and not be distracted by Chinese bargain buying
Anyone purchased and had a play around with one? Pity there is no green coloured option.

My x-mid just arrived a couple of weeks ago so I am deliberating whether to keep the tarp - it is (was) my fave shelter for summer with a bug bivy.
This kind of design is really good I think - a little bit fiddly to set-up, and not for tall people, but very light.
The Lanshan looks like a steal for 100 US with a bathtub inner - what is the build quality like?

Curse you MsMudd. Couldn't resist buying this after seeing your post. Oh well, another tent to the collection.

But most often these type of tents (trekking pole supported) need several trys before getting it right.
To fix I would try to release the corner tension, increase the pole height and then pull the corners in tension again.

I imagine not!
My winter tent is a nice shade of eye burning orange, so also is a glowing beacon I am heading to the Blue Mts shortly myself, yes I imagine it will be nice and chilly there. If I spot a fuschia tent in my wanderings, I will be sure to holler out a hellooooo as I will know it surely must be you!

Anyway. How has it been holding up? Would you recommend it?
Thanks in advance.
