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.

Running Shorts With Storage Superpowers: Oiselle Pockito Review
  As a recovering ultra runner, Ive run enough miles in my life to know that the best womens running shorts disappear mid-run. You dont feel them, tug at them, or even notice them. But even now, I still want gear that performs across trail runs, hikes, and the occasional paved adventure. Thats why Ive been pleasantly surprised with the Oiselle...

Less Money, Fewer Grams, Comfortable for 2 Adults: MEC Spark UL Tent Review
  We rolled into camp dusty, sweaty, and depleted as the sun sank. The end of a brutal day of bikepacking in the scorching heat of summer. I dragged MEC’s new Spark UL 2 tent out of my handlebar bag and shook it open. Within seconds, I had it staked out and pitched to perfection.   It’s rare that I can pitch...

Nite Ize Squeeze Rotating Smartphone Bike Bar Mount Review: Squeeze System Holds On Tight
  For so many years, Id just try to remember the next three or four turns on biking trips through the city and hope I didnt miss a side street before I could pull over somewhere, fish my phone out of my pocket, and read the next three or four turns off the navigation app on my phone. Id start and...
Backcountry Powder Tools: Atomic Backland FR Ski Pole Review
  When youre backcountry skiing, it never hurts to keep some extra tools on hand. That was a hard truth my partner and I were grappling with as we tried to hand-tighten screws on his splitboard bindings. The pucks were loose, and we couldnt adequately retighten the screws with just our fingers. It was cold, blowing snow, and before us, our...

Superior Shape for an Outdoor Folder: Vosteed Shilin Review
  Unlike knife blade steel, there’s rarely a new knife blade shape. But there are little-known shapes that never really caught on.   One of those is the Shilin blade shape. For the life of me, the only reason I can see it not being more popular is that it originated from a small village in Taiwan more than 150 years ago....
