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.

  Theres no wrong way to cope with rising temperatures. For many of us, a cold body of water is the way to go, whether its an adrenaline-fueled day of wakeboarding or a lazy paddle along a winding river.

  A ski and snowboard helmet with double the antimicrobial tech means this safety accessory should endure multiple seasons.

Drift Boat Meets Raft: Abstract Watercraft Aims to Revolutionize Fishing With $27K Hybrid
  Rich Batcheller describes the inception of his experimental fishing boat as a classic pandemic story. Like many Americans, Batcheller watched all his business suddenly evaporate when Covid-19 shut the world down in March 2020.   Unlike most of us, Batcheller used the opportunity to embark on an ambitious plan. Instead of building displays for events and museums, he would use his...
The Backpacking Luxury Item We Can’t Leave Behind: REI Co-op Flexlite Air Chair Review
  I get it. Sometimes, it’s hard to justify packing a camp chair on a backpacking trip. It seems like a luxury item we might not have space for, choosing to sit uncomfortably on a slanting log, awkward boulder, or in the dirt hunched over our camp stove. But these days, it becomes easier and easier to justify when a chair...
Mainstreaming EVs One Compact SUV at a Time: 2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV Review
  Cruising down a riverfront boulevard east of Detroit, I set one-pedal drive to high and lift my right foot. Suddenly, my head flings forward and the Equinox quickly rolls to a stop about 100 feet ahead of the stoplight I intended to reach.   At what feels like more than 0.4G of deceleration, Chevrolet manages to extract energy from movement and...

2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E Rally Review: Big Smiles in Sloppy Conditions
  The windshield wipers are slapping as hard as a happy Labrador retriever’s tail. Still, I can barely see through the muck and mud on my windshield as I slide sideways around a corner at the Dirtfish Rally School.   It’s a good thing I’m driving the 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E Rally edition. That’s the latest version of the Detroit automaker’s all-electric...
Big Innovation, Compact Package: Evolution Outdoors Ibex Hinge Release Review
  Archery hunting with a hinge-style release aid isn’t anything new, but the popularity of doing so is definitely on the rise. Hinges don’t fail and provide nice, clean shots time and time again.   With that said, hinge releases have been at a bit of a standstill in terms of innovation and often fall short in terms of practicality for hunting...
