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.

Simple Is Still Better: Stio Environ Ski Pants Review
  I only encountered a few on-snow days when Stio’s Environ ski pants didn’t excel at my local ski resort. And that’s only because I prefer ski bibs when I’m slashing (and occasionally tomahawking) through waist-deep powder. But as far as mens ski pants go, the Environ had me covered through a huge variety of weather conditions brought on by the...

‘Building a Running Legacy in Los Angeles:’ A Film About LA Runner Adrian Villarreal
  Los Angeles local Adrian Villarreal started running as a way to get from point A to point B — regularly ditching his backpack in his high school locker and running the 5 to 7 miles home. Those runs quickly became the part of his day he looked forward to most. “That’s when I fell in love with running,” Villarreal says....
Tricked-Out & Affordable Ultralight Backpack: Outdoor Vitals Shadowlight 60 Review
  Pushing the last backpacking trip of the year to late fall in Colorado’s high peaks comes with a near guarantee of bad weather — but outlandish beauty in exchange. And pure solitude if you get deep enough. I hoofed it deep into Colorado’s Gore Range just past the peak of the fall colors. Cold, wet, and worth it.   Outdoor Vitals’ overhauled...
Corner-Crossing Appeal Rejected by Supreme Court, Securing Public Access in the West
  The long-running battle over corner-crossing access to public land has reached its end, at least for now. On Oct. 20, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to review the appeal of a Wyoming landowner who sought to overturn a lower-court decision that favored public-land hunters.   With that decision, the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals’ March ruling now stands, setting a major...

Why This Ultralight Puffy Still Sets the Standard: Mountain Hardwear Ghost Whisperer Hoody Review
  When the Mountain Hardwear Ghost Whisperer Hoody ($380) first launched 13 years ago, it redefined what an ultralight down jacket could be. At just over half a pound, it quickly became the go-to layer for ounce-counters and alpine minimalists — including GearJunkie founder Stephen Regenold, who first tested the icon in 2013.   Over the years, he took it from ice...
