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.

I Let a Headband Hack My Brain for Better Sleep (I Think It Worked): ‘Elemind’ Sleep Headband Review
  If I’d seen this thing a few years ago, I’d have laughed. A headband that listens to your brain and uses your brainwaves to nudge you toward sleep sounds like a plot point from a bad sci-fi movie.   Good sleep fixes more than good coffee ever could. It sharpens focus, speeds recovery, and makes long days in the field or...
Last Chance: Buy Your 2025-2026 Epic Pass or Forever Hold Your Peace
  Ski season is here, the resorts are opening, and if you haven’t bought a season pass yet, your time is running out — at least, for the Epic Pass. Vail Resorts announced that on Nov. 16, the Epic Pass will be pulled from sale. That leaves any prospective (procrastinator) buyers less than 1 week to pull the trigger.   So far, among Vail’s...

2026 Nissan Sentra First Drive Review: Keeping the Affordable Sedan Alive
  The Nissan Sentra has been a steadfast sedan offering for 43 years. In fact, Nissan has sold some 6.5 million Sentras over nine generations since 1982.   Fast forward to the present, and sedans of all sizes seem to be losing popularity in favor of endless hordes of crossovers. Nissan even axed its own Maxima sedan in 2023, and there’s a...
A Backcountry Ski That Feels at Home Inbounds: Blizzard Zero G 96 Review
  There are plenty of frontside skis I’d take into the backcountry because even if they’re a bit heavy on the climb, they’re worth it for the downhill. The reverse has never been true for me. I cant think of any backcountry-specific skis that really hold up against inbounds-focused skis when it comes to lift-served terrain.   On most days when I...

13 Years of Abuse & Still Going Strong: The North Face Base Camp Duffel M Review
  Years ago, when I was in college, I worked at The North Face (TNF) store in Boulder, Colo. As employees, we had a 50% discount on gear, so naturally, every payday, I would give my entire paycheck back to the company, buying rain jackets, tents, backpacks, and sleeping bags that would last me for years to come.   One of the...

Quicker and Much More Fuel Efficient for Just $2K: 2026 Hyundai Palisade Hybrid Review
  Once I come to a complete stop on a barren straight patch of Texas highway, the engine automatically shuts off. Undeterred, I hold the brake with my left foot and bury the accelerator with my right foot. Nothing happens. That is, until I lift my left foot from the brake.   In the blink of an eye, the engine kicks on...
