I Recently purchased a 2 man tent from Nightcat.com. They then sent a 1 man tent so i obviously asked for a return or refund.

They asked if i want another tent sending which i responded no as it wouldn’t arrive in time. They then said we could send another with some extras for the inconvenience but I don’t need them and just wanted my money back.

They then agreed to send a refund when “We will refund after you use knife to cut it off and send us a video to confirm it.”

I responded to confirm they meant rip up and essentially destroy a perfectly functional tent. It was correct.

They said this - “Since it was shipped from China so if shipping back to China will be a big cost of shipping fee.

Therefore you only need to cut it off to make sure you don't have a tent for free, and we can refund you the money.”

Update - I won. They are issuing the refund. But with a grain of salt. “OK the refund has been issued.

I might take some time to arrive.

Wish you can have a happy time using the 1 person ultralight tent.” 😂

Hi folks, hope all is well.

I've been keen to make yt content on my backpacking gear for a while and now that I'm finishing university I thought I'd give it a shot! Please see the link below for an honest review and some modifications for the Lanshan 2 2026. Strongly believe this is a great pick for anyone wanting to balance budget and weight, but a few modifications have made it a much better experience for me.

Review

Pros

Setup is intuitive and easy for one person
Plenty of room for one (obviously), cosy for 2
Triangular shape means sitting up cooking, reading, packing or ... idk just sitting up ... is fine
Adjustable height means you can control how breezy and warm it is inside, used it with trekking poles set low in winter to keep the heat in and was warm
Small to pack down, easy to fit into a bag
Its affordable

Cons

Triangular shape sometimes means you get a face full of mesh when you're sleeping
As it comes the ridgeline and main walls can touch the inner and get ya WET
the ramshead clip that is attached to the main guyline to open and close the doors is too fiddly for comfort, and it means you're often toying with the main guyline which is critical to the quality of your pitch
Bathtub floor slips and slides a fair amount, and is very thin. (I bought the footprint accordingly, but without modification this increases the slipperiness)

Modifcations Covered in the Vid

Separating vestibule door clip from the main guyline allows you to extend it much further and raise the angle of pull. You get a much tighter ridgeline and you no longer have to interfere with it every time you want to get out of the tent. I use bungee for the doors as this can be easily adjusted depending on the height of the ridgeline. Delta ground anchors ensure the ridgeline stays secure overnight. Also means no more outer touching inner.
Attaching the footprint and bathtub floor to the same tie out reduces the slipperiness of the inner and means you only need one peg for each corner.
Adding an extra loop to clip the rolled up vestibule doors onto eliminates the tension that comes with having the inner and outer attached to the same loop when rolling them up. In my experience they often popped out and unrolled which was rather inconvenient.

I'd greatly appreciate any advice or engagement with my channel :)

I’m being asked to destroy a tent to get a refund.
