Astagear Yun Chuan 2 Tent Review, How to Seam Seal & Rain Test

Here's my review of the Astagear Yun Chuan 2. I also explain how to seam seal it and give it a test in the rain up the mountains on a wild camp out.
It's an ultralight large two man tent which uses trekking poles to set up, ideal for thru-hikes.

    Not blaming you, but just FYI, this appears to be a direct, comically blatant, knockoff of the Durston X-mid. Maybe point people to the person who came up the idea originally, not to yet another Chinese knockoff.

    @caverryan maybe you didn't listen to my explanation that it looks ike the tarptent stratosphere which was made in 2014 in China. The Durston xmid is also made in China

    Nice update! Are you interested in reviewing our 6-in-1 drinking water tester? It can test bacteria, virus, microplastic, heavy metal, and weed kiiler., etc! We're sure that you'll love it.

    Been looking at this for me and the mrs. Did you manage to get the inner sorted and the outer sitting a bit lower? And is there a vestibule on both sides?

    Well I pitched it better this week but I'm still thinking about extending the paracord on the inner to suit different pitches. It's a very good tent though and yes there's two porches

    Looks suspiciously like a knockoff copy of the Durston X-mid.... Perhaps don't feed the monster of Chinese IP theft...

    It certainly does look like the X-mid, Stratosphire and Lanshan! All of which were made in China. You could say all of these copied the Sierra Designs High Route though.

    @@MrWildWalesthe Chinese may have manufactured those tents but they were American or Canadian designed, just because you make something for someone else doesn’t give you the right to rip off the design and make a cheaper copy. Doesn’t stop the Chinese from doing it of course, they did it with cars as well. It’s still theft of Intellectual Property

    Main reason I chose this model was the colour if anything. Funny you mentioned cars. Since the first car was invented it's been copied over and over again with small changes. Same with tents they keep getting copied and improved over time

    It's the whole "seam seal it yourself", that would prevent me from purchasing these kind of tents. Maybe I'm just a canvas snob 🤷🖖🏕️
