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.

  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.

The Best Gluten-Free Freeze Dried Meals: Camp Food for Everyone
  I count the day my wife said she’d like to go on an extended backpacking trip with me as one of the happiest of my life. And to a lesser degree, a stressful one.   Kat eats gluten-free. On previous shorter backpacking trips, she made her own meals, like red chile enchiladas with corn tortillas that she would then vacuum seal...

  After a day of running, biking, or hiking with our furry best friends, it’s paramount that we give them a safe and comfortable place to rest or lounge. Enter the dog crate.

Always Safe, but a Dash of Sideways Fun: Electric Volvo EX30 Winter Testing
  The new 2025 Volvo EX30 is a full-electric subcompact crossover that will hit the U.S. market this summer. First off, all versions of the vehicle are a great new car value — especially for an EV. Pricing ranges from $34,950 to $47,900. But, lets focus on whether you should buy the rear-wheel-drive (RWD) or all-wheel-drive (AWD) version.   I flew to...

How Freeride Mountain-Bike Pioneer Tarek Rasouli Returned to the Trails
  My favorite segment in the 2023 film Nothing’s For Free: The History of Freeride Mountain Biking chronicles the improbable comeback story of German cyclist Tarek Rasouli. One of the pioneers of freeride in the mid-nineties, Rasouli suffered a terrifying crash in Whistler, Canada, in 2002 that left him paralyzed from the waist down and reliant on a wheelchair.   The injury...

Solo Stove Launches Outdoor ‘Movie Night’: Screen Chairs, Popcorn Maker, and More
  Fire pits were just the beginning. While Solo Stove first wowed us in the 20-teens with its hallmark smokeless campfire magic, it has since expanded again and again into new, loosely fire-related territory (think patio heaters, outdoor tables, and indoor fire bowls).   This week, the Austin firebrand makes perhaps its most ambitious expansion yet — into the world of cinema. Solo...
Lots More Tuscadero Pink Jeeps, While Gladiator Gets Electrified
  Around 30,000 Jeep Wranglers roam the planet wearing Tuscadero Pink paint. While it was supposed to be a limited-edition color back in 2021, strong demand has kept it available.   For 2024, not only does the Wrangler get Tuscadero, but for the first time, the Gladiator gets the pink treatment as well.   In even bigger news, the 2025 model year Jeep...
The Best Axes for Splitting Wood of 2024
  After foolishly agreeing to have nearly two cords of large pine rounds dumped on our driveway last spring, we spent the summer hauling, drying, splitting, and stacking wood with each of these axes in order to find the best and bring you our recommendations.   This particular load of wood put our lineup of splitting axes and our axe-wielding testers through...

The Best Running Shoes of 2024
  We used to say running was a pretty simple sport. All you need is a pair of running shoes and clothes, and off you go. However, with the advances in technology these days, we’re second-guessing that concept.   Somehow over the past 25 years, complexity crept in. GPS watch data, Strava segments, hydration vests, and the obligatory social media post-run selfie...
