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.

Old West EDC With Modern Flair: Wheat State Cutlery ‘Peacemaker’ Review
  As I opened the box, I knew in an instant I was in for a treat. Nestled inside was a gorgeous leather zippered pouch. Lifting it out from the box, I saw a thin plastic bag with what looked to be stickers. Under that, I found a nifty coin embossed with Wheat State Cutlery’s logo.   Decorative bells and whistles like...
The Big SUV You Want to Take Off-Road: 2025 Ford Expedition TREMOR Review
  Never once have I said Im itching to go offroading in a Ford Expedition. But, that all changes now. I just drove the first-of-its-kind Expedition TREMOR on a muddy trail deep in the Indiana woods, and it far exceeded all expectations.   The 2025 Ford Expedition TREMOR is easily the most off-road-capable Expedition to ever roll out of a Ford factory....
Meet the Latest Batch of Rick Hinderer Knives
  Tell someone a Rick Hinderer creation is your Grail knife, and they are more likely to ask which model rather than why.   Hinderer Knives are made in the United States and garner praise from enthusiasts for their durability and handfeel. Hand assembly means focusing on one knife at a time, ensuring each is tuned for the best quality and performance....
Easier to Cruise, More Fun to Hustle: 2025 Polaris Slingshot R Review
  Most people’s experience with the Polaris Slingshot comes secondhand. You see these attention-grabbing, three-wheeled spaceships on the road from time to time. But it’s rare to meet someone who’s actually driven one, let alone owned a Slingshot themselves.   After spending a month behind the wheel, one thing’s for sure: Some people love the Polaris Slingshot, some people absolutely hate it....
Exclusive Steel, Snappy Action: Microtech UTX-85 OTF Review
  I was 9 years old the first time I saw The Warriors. Admittedly, I was a bit young by today’s standards for that sort of film, but the early 1980s were a very different time. Not only was that movie my first look at (outlandishly Hollywood) inner-city turf wars, it was also the first time I remember seeing a switchblade....
A Sporty Mid-Size Pickup Built for Work and Play: 2025 Ford Ranger 4×4 Lariat Review
  Last year, Ford did a complete redesign of the Ranger. It stretched both the wheelbase and track a couple of inches, beefed up the frame, and improved the suspension by setting the rear shocks outboard, all the while retaining its ability to tow up to 7,500 pounds. It also upgraded the interior with new seats, better materials, and improved storage...
Finally, Electric Off-Road Chevy Truck Coming This Summer: 2026 Silverado EV Trail Boss
  The Chevrolet Silverado EV Trail Boss is about to join the electric truck lineup. More than 3½ years after Chevy first announced its off-road-ready EV, it will finally deliver the new trim. It will give the electric pickup a lift, more capable tires, and the side-scooting four-wheel steer mode available on the RST.   Trail Boss Is More Than Just Looks...
Bury It, Winch It, Drive It Out: 2024 Can-Am Defender Max Limited Review
  When it comes to heavy-duty side-by-sides, there is a big difference between machines built for show and those built to work. The 2024 Can-Am Defender Max Limited earns its place in the workhorse category. It works hard, carries heavy loads, tows big trailers, and pushes through terrain that stops lesser machines. Its not flashy, and its certainly not delicate.   I...
Fast, Fun, Fancy Electrified Dual Sport: 2025 Zero DSR/X Motorcycle Review
  The idea of electric motorcycles is compelling, but efforts have come up short for me. The range has been horrific, and the bikes seemed not fully baked. After hearing from moto friends and journalists that Zero Motorcycle models fared well, I had high hopes for the DSR/X dual-sport machine.   The 2025 Zero Motorcycles DSR/X is an impressive-looking electric dual-sport/adventure motorcycle....
Hitting the Sweet Spot: 2025 Volkswagen Tiguan First Drive Review
  The Volkswagen Tiguan is now the brand’s bestselling vehicle not only in the U.S. and Canada, but globally. This proves that times and tastes have changed for the “people’s car” — the literal German translation of Volkswagen.   And the people have spoken: 77% of all American VW sales are Tiguans. Clearly, it’s a very important vehicle to the company. So,...
21 Vehicle Head-to-Head Test: 2025 NW Outdoor Activity Vehicle of the Year Competition
  After 2 days of testing, on-road and off, with 21 brand-new crossovers, SUVs, and trucks, the Northwest Automotive Press Association (NWAPA) has crowned the 2025 NW Outdoor Activity Vehicle of the Year, as well as a number of category winners.   The annual event, known as Mudfest, now in its 31st year, offers journalists (NWAPA members) the opportunity for direct comparison...
Introducing the 1Up USA Moto Rack: Safe, Secure, and Bike Friendly
  Its rare to find a moto rack that accommodates bicycles, and almost unheard of to find a bike rack that accommodates motorbikes. Hauling both can be cumbersome, with bikes mounted on the car and the motorcycle towed on a trailer, meaning that often, people will choose between bringing one or the other on their adventures.   Enter the 1Up Moto Rack...
