  Lightweight solo tarp with 18-inch No-See-Um skirt

  The Six Moon Designs Deschutes Plus Tarp is a lean, mean, no frills, down and dirty shelter for ultralight hikers on the move. It packs so small and light it might literally get lost in your pack, yet it's large enough for a comfortable night’s rest without the claustrophobia of a small tarp. With its full 360-degree protection there’s no need to carry an additional bivy.

  The Deschutes Plus’ No-See-Um skirt perimeter eliminates the need to carry a bug net to keep away those pesky mosquitoes. The skirt’s generous 18-inch width allows you the flexibility to set up the shelter at different heights.

  The Deschutes Plus' zippered entry makes getting in and out a breeze. It sets up using a single trekking pole or optional Carbon Fiber pole (sold separately). This single pole pyramid design ensures that you’ll be safe and comfortable regardless of weather conditions.

  If you’d like additional bug protection, the Deschutes Plus mates with the Serenity NetTent (sold separately), providing you with the ultimate in creepy-crawly protection.

  Stakes and poles sold separately.

FAQ:

I'm over 6', will I fit?
That depends. There are many factors that determine if you'll be comfortable using the Deschutes. It depends upon the height of the setup, the depth of your sleeping pad and your sleeping style. Take a look at the picture of the Deschutes Tarp with the Serenity NetTent, the Serenity is 84" or 7' long and has vertical end walls of 9". Without the Serenity the height is 13" at the point where the Serenity would end. Using a thick sleeping mat will compromise internal space and minimize headroom. Also setting up the Deschutes low to the ground will do the same. However, properly set up, most people will find the Deschutes more than roomy enough for a good night's sleep.

What is the recommended Pole Height?
The Deschutes Tarp can be set up at different heights. At 40" the Deschutes hugs the ground, providing maximum protection. The Deschutes can accommodate a variable height of between 45" to 49 depending upon conditions and your personal preferences. For maximum interior space or using the Serenity NetTent, set your pole to 49". In most cases you'll want to angle your pole so the bottom is inside the vestibule area. This helps to maximize the sleeping area.

Minimalist, Durable, and Nimble on Trail: Notace Yama T1 Barefoot Shoe Review
  For months, Ive been hiking and running in the Sierra Mountains, traipsing sandstone cliffs in Utah, and recreating in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, barefoot. Or, at least, close to barefoot, while wearing the minimalist zero-drop Notace Yama T1 shoes.   Barefoot running has reached a surprising level of popularity. People have latched onto the idea that zero-drop barefoot shoes can support...
Say Goodbye to Smartwater Bottles — These Dialed Alternatives Have Refined the Design
  From collaborations with high-fashion brands to apparel made with graphene and Kevlar, there were plenty of cutting-edge gear innovations this year. However, sometimes innovation comes from rethinking the simplest things. Take, for example, the humble water bottle. In 2025, creative advancements have helped replace one of backpackings most ubiquitous pieces of gear: the disposable Smartwater bottle.   Thru-hikers have long loved...
Bestselling Electric Truck Is Dead, Likely Resurrected Soon With Gas Engine
  Ford has finally admitted its tough to get lightning to strike twice. It has confirmed that its F-150 Lightning electric truck is officially dead.   Instead of a direct replacement, it is working on something it hopes youll like a little more: an extended range EV, with a big battery and a gas engine, so you can go a little longer...
‘ShredSHOCK’ Snowboard Suspension Device Crushes Kickstarter Goal
  When the first mass-produced suspension shocks hit the market for mountain bikes in the 90s, it changed the sport forever. Now, brands are applying that same concept to skis and snowboards. Last year, GearJunkie covered the launch of ShredShocks, a full suspension shock system for ski bindings.   This year, ShredLORD launched on Kickstarter, offering a similar system for snowboarders looking...
Bernhard Braun Releases the Most Risqué Freeride Ski Film We’ve Seen in a While
  Bernhard Braun makes it clear from the start: he has nothing to tell. He isnt going to try to educate viewers with his ski movie or make them watch his emotional breakdowns on the skin track. Instead, the Rossignol athlete is content to crack a few jokes, shred sick lines, and stick big air landings. Its what the people want...
Classic Touring Boots Get Huge Updates: Scarpa Maestrale & Maestrale RS Review
  Some boots make an impression for a season or two. The Scarpa Maestrale ($799) and Maestrale RS ($899) have stayed with me for more than a decade. I first skied a version of the Maestrale in 2010, and it has been a constant in my backcountry kit ever since. It has carried me through early-season firm snow in the Tetons,...
Meet an American Renaissance Man: Rancher, Hunter, Combat Veteran, Wildland Firefighter, and Podcast Host
  Play If you ask him, James Nash says he’s just a normal American guy with an abnormally organized truckbed, thanks to DECKEDs drawer systems.   He grew up on an Oregon ranch, trapping gophers and working as a pack horse hunting guide in high school. He also wrestled so well that he moved to Norway for a year to train professionally. ...
Warmth Meets Wiggle Room: REI Co-op Siesta Hooded 20 Sleeping Bag Review
  Crawling into a sleeping bag can sometimes feel more like mummification than rest. Most designs are narrow for efficiency as they are meant to conserve heat and compress into a backpack.   The REI Co-op Siesta Hooded 20 Sleeping Bag takes a different approach. Built wide, soft, and unapologetically comfortable, it’s as close to bringing your bed to the campsite as...

How the Updated Cotopaxi Fuego Jacket Improves Upon a Classic
  We’re no strangers to the Cotopaxi Fuego collection, particularly the Fuego Down Hooded Jacket. It is a versatile jacket that can perform in the mountains or around town. It also packs down to a more manageable size when you need to carry it, but not wear it.   However, that jacket has been revamped with new materials and a roomier fit,...
Fashion Goes Camping: ‘Adaptable Shelterwear’ Turns Gear Into an Outfit
  The earthquake that struck Myanmar in March 2025 left a huge impact on Yoon Myat Su Lin. The death, destruction, and fallout from that tragedy stuck with the 22-year-old Myanmar fashion student studying at Esmod Tokyo. So, Lin started thinking outside of the box —way outside of it —and began designing an outfit shes calling the Adaptable Shelterwear Collection.   Seeing...
There’s No Better First Knife Than This: Knafs Lander 5 Review
  I am part of a generation when kids carried pocket knives, slingshots, and shot BB guns on the regular. I am not saying there aren’t small pockets where this is still the case, but most kids nowadays just carry around a glowing screen for their entertainment.   Thankfully, theres a little knife-maker in Utah that still wants kids to get dirt...
