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.

The Best Assisted Braking Device for Lead Belaying: Petzl NEOX Long-Term Review
  Every assisted braking device (ABD) can inadvertently lock the rope to varying degrees when quickly feeding out slack to a lead climber.Petzl has mostly solved this dilemma with the NEOX.

Netflix’s Apple Cider Vinegar Shows Just How Scary Health Misinformation Can Get
  As a health writer, I’ve watched wellness trends come and go, each one claiming to be as life-changing as the last.   “I read that [insert detox drink or mushroom coffee here] is really good for you,” people have said to me with promising smiles, time and time again. But they didn’t actually read the information anywhere. Most likely, they watched a...
Kia Takes Swing at Elon as Tesla Owners Express Frustration With Musk
  From hero to zero? Elon Musk has long had a loyal following, but where the billionaire was once hailed for his David versus Goliath assault on the established automotive order, many now fault the South African entrepreneur for his political turn to the far right — and, in particular, his controversial role as head of the Trump administration’s Department of...

Short-Distance Racing Weapon: The North Face Summit Sky 2 First Look Review
  The super shoe revolution in trail running is a few seasons old at this point. Where all roads lead to Nike’s Alphafly with a handful of worthy number twos, there’s still no one defining super shoe for the trails — the type where if you line up in anything less, you’re sacrificing first place.   Because of its unfortunate pandemic timing,...

Downtown is drizzly and deserted, just me and the ungulate locking eyes across a hotel parking lot, two fish...

Why Climbers on Aconcagua Get Serious Altitude Illness
  Back in 2021, I wrote about the case of Daniel Granberg, a 24-year-old from Colorado who died at the summit of a Bolivian mountain called Illimani of what turned out to be high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE). What was notable about the incident was that Illimani is only 21,122 feet above sea level, well below the notorious Death Zone, which starts...
