Description

  The Six Moon Designs Deschutes Tarp is an ultralight shelter designed to give you the most interior room while maximizing protection from the elements and minimizing weight. For people looking for a light shelter option with plenty of space and minimal weight, the Deschutes is a perfect fit! The Deschutes has 44 sq ft of coverage and a peak height of 49”. You've got plenty of room to sit up and the extra interior space lets you spread out your gear. The full-length vestibule zipper makes for easy entry. The simple pyramid structure is easy to set up and sheds wind and rain under the harshest storms.

  Constructed from tough but light Silicone Nylon, the Deschutes Tarp weighs just 13 ounces and is quite affordable. When mated with the Serenity NetTent (sold separately) you have a double wall solo tent that weighs a mere 24 ounces.

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.

How Do Olympic Athletes Sleep?
  We all know that, in theory, we’re supposed to sleep a lot. After all, it boosts performance, protects against injury, accelerates recovery, improves free-throw shooting, and all sorts of other wonderful things. But sometimes there’s a gap between theory and practice. Are champion athletes also champion sleepers? Or is good sleep in the “nice to have” rather than “need to...
Taking Wind Out of the Equation: Ozonics HR500 Ozone Generator Review
  I can totally understand why many hunters won’t look twice at an ozone generator machine for scent control. Admittedly, I was also skeptical of the claims associated with the products. The hunting industry doesn’t exactly have the best reputation for products they call “game changers, especially for whitetails.   Do you remember “Gum-o-Flage,” the “Acorn Kruncher,” or the “Deerview Mirror?” There’s...
Ford EV Explorer Sets Around-the-World Record, but Won’t Retail in US
  Americas first major car company has finally made an electric vehicle that can traverse the globe. Unfortunately, only Europeans will get to buy it.   The all-electric Ford Explorer finished a circumnavigation of the planet on Tuesday, arriving in Nice, France, after covering over 18,640 miles without using a drop of gas. Ford said that the cars driver, Lexie Alford, became...
KEEN Targhee IV Test: More Sustainable, Comfortable, and a Lifetime Guarantee
  The seemingly inevitable splitting of the midsole and upper, or outsole and midsole, has been the death of countless hiking boots. With the Targhee IV, KEEN claims to have found a cure for this delamination.   KEEN sent me a test pair of early-production Targhee IV boots, which launch on April 4 in the U.S. So, I laced them up and...
You Shouldn’t Be Able to Pay With Cash OR a Card at a National Park. They Should Be Free.
  In January 2020, Park Spring National Monument in Arizona became the first National Park System site to go cashless. In the years since, roughly 30 destinations made the switch to card or mobile-only payments, including big names like Zion, Yosemite, and the Grand Canyon. This shift was likely insignificant for the 60 percent of Americans who report using cash for few to...
The Darkness That Blew My Mind
  The darkness has a name, but I don’t know that yet. All I know is that I’m scared.   I’m sitting with my feet in a creek in the scrubby mountains southeast of Ashland, Oregon, watching how the water spills over gray rocks into a shallow pool. All day long, I’ve been alone and unplugged, doing my best to savor moments...

Lolo Racks 6-Bike Rack Review: A Sturdy Rack Ready for All Bikes and Adventures
  Lolo Racks, launched in the Pacific Northwest in 2016, first caught my attention when I spotted one at a trailhead in Bend, Ore. The innovative vertical hitch bike rack design, capable of carrying four or six bikes, intrigued me.   Since then, Ive tested various rack styles, both horizontal and vertical, but none seemed to meet all the criteria for our...
Here’s Why Overlanders (and Tailgaters) Splurge on REDARC

But regardless of where the road (or offroad) might take you — theres one companion every road warrior needs: the REDARC Mobile Power System.   Whether youre navigating the untamed wilderness, transforming a van into a home on wheels,...
The Best Hand Warmers of 2024
  If you plan to spend time outdoors this winter, only the best hand warmers should make your gear list. With better run time, heat retention, settings, and reusability, hand warmers have evolved from simple single-use pocket warmers to rechargeable electric warmth machines.   Our extremities are the first part of the body to suffer from cold-related discomfort. Cold hands are actually...
Wild Animals Taught Me to… Run!
  Singer-songwriter David Lindes found his way into running with help from the most unexpected teacher: a bull moose. Growing up in Guatemala David had learned to ignore his body. Thanks to beatings by his adults, his body was a source of pain, and not much else. So he didn’t play sports, he didn’t dance, he found out later he wasn’t...
8 Years and Counting: 1620 Work Pants Are Tough as Nails
  When it comes to work pants, everyone eventually starts wearing the same things. At my last engineering job, one guy started wearing Duluth Trading Fire Hose Work Pants —within a month, everyone else was, too.   Working in a demanding environment, you want a pair of pants that keep up with the abuse you put on them, day in and day...
