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.

Simple, Straightforward, Low to the Ground: Gravirax GR-4 Ski and Snowboard Rack System Review
  Living in a ski town means frequently driving to the ski resort or bus stop. Often, loading, locking, unlocking, and unloading a roof ski rack takes me as much time as driving up the resort (except when I cant find a parking spot).   Roof racks can be awkward to load, create noise at highway speeds, and add drag. After a season...
‘Numerous and Severe’ Illegal Hunting Practices Land Outfitter in Jail
  Most hunting violations dont lead to prison time. But in the case of one outfitter operating in Colorado and other states, the law-breaking was so numerous and severe that prosecutors said the stiff sentence was warranted.   On July 31, Timothy Rawlings of Laveen, Ariz., was sentenced to 12 months in federal prison for violations of the Lacey Act. That legislation protects...
What’s Harder Than the Ironman World Championship, with Chelsea Sodaro
  We love our stories of human endurance, from Shackleton’s famed expedition to the 11-hour Wimbledon match to days-long ultramarathons. Hell, even the Coney Island Hot Dog eating contest is broadcast on television; that’s just how much we celebrate a person pushing themselves to the brink. But the moments that inspire the most are the ones in which a solo athlete...
Magnetic Adventure Pack Goes on Hips or Handlebars: Gossamer Gear Piku Sling Review
  The wildfire smoke rolled in quickly and was thick enough that I felt it in my lungs after just 20 minutes. When I started hiking, it was clear out, but the wind changed and haze from the forest fires now obscured the mountains around me. I felt wheezy, my eyes started itching, and I stopped jogging the flats. I was...
We Ran in La Sportiva’s Fastest Trail Shoe: Prodigio Pro Review
  There’s nothing quite like the freedom of running fast across a rocky ridgeline with massive relief on all sides. Alpine terrain is where I really hit my stride. Not because I get stronger at higher elevations, but because, unlike top-tier runners, I require some kind of external motivation to make such a debilitating effort worth it.   La Sportiva’s new Prodigio...
Exploring Tennessee’s Top Lakes
  Anyone who knows Tennessee knows about its abundance of freshwater. Anglers in particular can thank the varied geography and Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) history of hydroelectric development for its verdant waterways and winding miles of shoreline both natural and manmade. The Volunteer State also has another treasured resource when it comes to fishing: Bill Dance. Known as “the world’s most-loved...

Diesel DEF Limp Mode Anxiety Be Gone: EPA Rolls Back More Environmental Protections
  Just two weeks ago, the head of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) made an extraordinary announcement: Pollution from global warming would no longer be considered a threat to public health.   Known as the endangerment finding, the Obama-era policy empowered federal officials to regulate pollution caused by vehicles and power plants. It also led to electric vehicle subsidies that boosted the...
‘Bad Intentions’: Alaska Fishermen Indicted for Poaching Over 5 Tons of Halibut
  A federal grand jury in Alaska has indicted five commercial fishermen accused of orchestrating a long-running illegal halibut harvest scheme in Southeast Alaska. The case centers around the fishing vessel Bad Intentions. Prosecutors say it was used to harvest and transfer thousands of pounds of halibut in violation of federal law.   The indictment alleges that from 2019 to 2023, the...
