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.

Just Because They’re Good for You, Doesn’t Mean They Can’t Look Good, Too: Chaco Classic Flip Review
  As you’re walking the shoreline collecting seashells, with the cool waves hitting your feet, you want a shoe that can stand up to the sand, salt, and water. Sometimes, that quick walk turns into a few miles of walking as you keep filling your pockets and taking in the sunshine vibes.   Your feet shouldn’t pay the price for this extended...
It’s Sweater Weather. Here Are Our 5 Favorites for the Winter
  Sweaters are back. Sure, fleece has been the king of mid-layers for decades, dominating the key mid-layer space of adventurous wardrobes, but in recent years old school knitwear, made mostly from natural fibers, is raging back into fashion. Personally, I’ve become absolutely sweater-obsessed in the last couple of years and can’t remember the last time I chose a fleece over...
Reimagining the History of Skiing, One Photo at a Time
  While visiting the lodge at Idaho’s Sun Valley Resort a few years ago, Colombian-American photographer Sofía Jaramillo noticed something disconcerting about the pictures lining the walls. In the images, which date back to the ski hill’s opening in 1936, nearly everyone was white. “That’s when I got the idea—how cool would it be to re-create these, except centering people of...

I Had My Doubts About FlyKitt. But It’s Proven Itself on Every One of My Overseas Trips.
  I should be wrecked.   It’s my first full day in South Africa after a brutal 33-hour journey from my home in Bend, Oregon. I woke at 3:15 A.M. to catch the first of three flights to Johannesburg, crossed nine time zones in economy class, and finally fell into bed at 9 P.M. Typically, my jet lag for such a long-haul...

Snowboarding the ‘Peak of Evil’: Patagonia Athletes Shred Biggest Line of Their Lives in India
  When Nick Russell and Jerry Mark heard Hillary Nelson recount the story of making her first descent on Indias Papsura (aka the Peak of Evil), they were immediately intrigued. The way it was described to them, it didnt sound like just another ski line. It sounded like a real mountaineering challenge — and the two snowboarders wanted their shot at...
Check Out the Dust Moto ‘Hightail’: US-Made, Lightweight Electric Motorcycle
  There are very few electric motocross or trail bikes currently in production. The king of the electric hill is the Stark Varg, which closely mimics gas dirt bikes in size and performance (in some aspects, it outperforms 450cc dirt bikes). But for many, this is too much power, size, and weight, adding to the already tall barriers to entry. Dust...
ATV Versatility Meets UTV Utility: 2025 Polaris Sportsman 6×6 570 Review
  Why have four wheels when you can have six? Bigger is almost always better, right? The Polaris Sportsman 66 570 certainly isnt a little machine.   I wasnt initially sure how Id feel about an ATV with so much additional length. In the area I tend to rip around in, being nimble is a requirement for an ATV. Honestly, my first...
