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.

Freeride Bibs Built for Backcountry and Resort: High-Performance Arc’teryx Sabre Bib Pant Review
  The first rays of sunlight illuminated the Elk Mountains on the periphery of Crested Butte Mountain Resort on a below-freezing December morning. My truck actually says it’s -15 degrees Fahrenheit, as I drive to the backcountry trailhead, trailer in tow. There’s 6 inches of fresh snow in town — meaning the backcountry likely (and hopefully) picked up triple those numbers....
Surviving at Sea on a Surfboard
  Matthew Bryce went surfing alone. Would he die alone, too? As he was riding waves, Bryce got blown out to sea. He had a wetsuit and a surfboard, and nothing else. No way to call for help, or signal to the rescuers that he could see searching for him in a helicopter. Alone and freezing in the ocean, how do...
Big Tires, Big Attitude: Arctic Trucks Toyota Land Cruiser 250 AT37
  It was 40 years ago that the Prado badge first appeared on the light-duty Land Cruiser, but the badge never made it to the North American market. For 2025, the U.S. Land Cruiser is the world market Prado, the first time the Prado platform has had a Toyota badge on this continent — as its had the Lexus GX badge...
Canada Closes Border to Thru-Hikers on Pacific Crest Trail
  For decades, many of the thru-hikers who trek the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) have ended their journey just a few miles over the U.S.-Canada border. Yet theyll now have to be satisfied with ending their hike at the border — or trekking an extra 62 miles to the closest available border crossing.   Thats because the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) changed...
2025 Toyota 4Runner First Drive Review: A Rugged SUV That Outshines the Land Cruiser
  The new 4Runner did not surprise me in any way. It is exactly the modern off-road-capable vehicle you expect it to be, and essentially the SUV version of the latest Tacoma pickup. That means it is the most comfortable, capable, and adventure-ready 4Runner ever. But, it also means its got lots of little flaws and a few glaring ones.   Toyota...

Watch: SAR Airlifts Injured Skiers After Apple Watch SOS
  First responders shared a spicy rescue that occurred in northwest Washington state last Wednesday. The King County Sheriff’s Air Support Unit responded to a rescue request on Jan. 22 after receiving a SOS alert from an Apple Watch worn by a backcountry skier. As they flew a helicopter to the coordinates, rescuers only knew that a male skier had been injured...
The Top 5 Fixed Blades for ‘The Hottest Trend in Knives’
  In an industry defined by continuously evolving trends, the knife markets craze du jour is the pocket fixed blade. If youre wondering why, I outline the history and justification for the trend in my full explainer on pocket fixed blades.

Can Probiotic Supplements Improve Athletic Performance? Maybe, but Doctor’s Won’t Recommend Them—Yet.
  As someone who’s dealt with digestive issues for years, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t intrigued by probiotics. Wherever I look, there are probiotic products—from capsules and powders to gummies and fizzy sodas—that claim to boost your immune system, fix your gut, and even improve your mood.   There are many different probiotic strains, but common ones include Lactobacillus,...
My Experience With Stem Cell Therapy: Snake Oil or Silver Bullet?
  Dr. David Karli, his tech Mariah, and an anesthesiologist named Adriana were all hovering over me. Soon, I’d be taking a deep nap while Karli and Mariah drilled into my hips to extract bone marrow, which would be centrifuged, turned into stem cells, and injected into my knee.   I was grateful for the anesthesia. From experience, I knew the extraction...
Pebble’s Budget Smartwatch Makes a Comeback, Thanks to Google
  Google just pushed reset on a cult smartwatch brand that died off in 2016. You might remember Pebble from the halcyon days of 2012, when it became (at the time) the most successful Kickstarter campaign in history.   The nascent brand offered a simple interface and efficient set of features, drawing in millions of dollars from thousands of users. Then, in...
Lexus Gets Salty With the Surf LX Concept
  Its the gnarliest Lexus ever. The Lexus Surf LX concept off-roader comes loaded up with gear storage, a custom exo cage, and, most importantly, a slide-out wax table. Its a cool take on the Lexus LX SUV to show off that Lexus has just announced it will continue to be the Official Automotive Partner of the World Surf League.   Lexus...
