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.

Brilliant Elastic Lace System for Women’s Winter Boots: Stio Colter Review
  I live in Crested Butte, Colo., where winter easily reaches into three seasons. Its essential to have a pair of womens winter boots that are warm, waterproof, and easy to pull on and off. Of course, its important to find one with style, too. After testing the Stio Colter, I wish I could wear these sneaker-esque snow boots year-round.   When...
Industrial-Strength EDC: Leatherman Glider Pocket Knife Review
  Heavy. Tough. Rugged. Those arent terms Id often use to describe an everyday carry pocket knife.   But in the case of the Leatherman Glider, they feel entirely appropriate. The Glider, while shaped for common EDC tasks, simply feels industrial. It seems built in another era of heavy-duty manufacturing, with everything from deeply engraved USA letters to steel handles oozing machine...

Less Power, More Money, But Oh So Right: 2026 Ram 1500 HEMI Review
  Several feet away, with camera in hand, I stand on a massive patch of asphalt and watch the test driver WOT (wide-open throttle) the HEMI-equipped Ram. As his left foot still lightly rests on the brake, the rear tires start spinning furiously, roaring their way around a white cloud of tire smoke billowing from the roasting rear rubber. I capture...
How Running Helped One Family Recover From Unimaginable Loss
  When Lawlor Coe lost his brother Hunter to suicide, one of the ways he coped was by lacing up his joggers and running. At first, he was trying to elude his grief; over time he found that the physical suffering he endured on the trail helped him find a way toward peace and, from there, joy. After sorrow and anger,...
In Separate Events, Two U.S. Hikers Fall to Their Deaths
  Two hikers fell to their deaths in separate events at different popular wilderness areas in late August. The tragedies prompted rescuers to reiterate the importance of practicing safety on both technical and non-technical hiking trails.   After motor vehicle deaths and drownings, falls—usually while hiking—are the leading cause of accidental death in U.S. National Parks. Incidents like these highlight the importance...
Simple, Comfy Headlamp That Gets the Job Done: BioLite Range Review
  Loons call through the falling dusk over an impossibly calm mirror surface of Lake One in Minnesotas Boundary Waters Canoe Area. I step away from the campfire and press a button on the top of the BioLite Range 500, the newest headlamp from a brand focused on comfortable lighting. A red glow illuminates the path to my food pack, where...
Is Your Period Messing With Your Training? Here’s What the Experts Say
  If youve ever had a period, its natural to assume it affects your performance as an athlete: How could cramping, bloating, nausea, and exhaustion not influence how fast you run or bike?   If, however, you try to find information about this topic, it might as well be the wild west. Only very recently did scientific research begin to treat the...
A Discreet, Functional Photography Pack: Brevitē The Jumper Review
  Not too many years ago, there was a distinct shortage of options for carrying photography equipment. Shoulder bags dominated the offerings, despite the fact that — in my experience —they simply dont work that well for most photographers. While I might love my Domke, its simply not the best choice for most of the situations I find myself in as...
