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.

Simple, Comfy Headlamp That Gets the Job Done: BioLite Range Review
  Loons call through the falling dusk over an impossibly calm mirror surface of Lake One in Minnesotas Boundary Waters Canoe Area. I step away from the campfire and press a button on the top of the BioLite Range 500, the newest headlamp from a brand focused on comfortable lighting. A red glow illuminates the path to my food pack, where...

Affordable, Fun, Fish-Ready SUP: Retrospec June Review
  I was initially skeptical of inflatable fishing paddleboards and kayaks. Like many people unfamiliar with inflatable paddleboards and kayaks, I thought it would pop the first time I stabbed it with a stick, ran across some rocks, or had a lure come flying back at warp speed and embed itself in the side.   After testing several inflatable watercraft, I can...

Garmin’s First Handheld GPS With Camera, Voice, and More: GPSMAP H1i Plus First Look
  Garmin handhelds have always been tough, reliable, and, honestly, a little boring. To be fair, the gadgets are tools, not toys.   But that may have just changed.   The new GPSMAP H1i Plus ($1,000) packs a built-in camera and microphone, so you can send photos and voice notes straight from the device without pulling out your phone. It certainly adds a...
Fast Entry, High Performance: Jones Mercury FASE Snowboard Binding Review
  For years, snowboard bindings have remained relatively the same, with two straps to put on and take off, requiring extra time at the top of the lift compared to skiers. Companies like FLOW had tried to create a fast-entry binding with a droppable high back. But these were often heavy, awkward, and didnt have the performance of expert-level riders needed. Thats where the Jones...

Brilliant Elastic Lace System for Women’s Winter Boots: Stio Colter Review
  I live in Crested Butte, Colo., where winter easily reaches into three seasons. Its essential to have a pair of womens winter boots that are warm, waterproof, and easy to pull on and off. Of course, its important to find one with style, too. After testing the Stio Colter, I wish I could wear these sneaker-esque snow boots year-round.   When...
Less Power, More Money, But Oh So Right: 2026 Ram 1500 HEMI Review
  Several feet away, with camera in hand, I stand on a massive patch of asphalt and watch the test driver WOT (wide-open throttle) the HEMI-equipped Ram. As his left foot still lightly rests on the brake, the rear tires start spinning furiously, roaring their way around a white cloud of tire smoke billowing from the roasting rear rubber. I capture...
No Screen, No Subscription: Polar Launches Low-Profile ‘Loop’ Fitness Tracker
  As technology grows more complex, theres increasing competition to make that tech feel less like a gadget. The smartwatch segment is a clear example of that, as screenless wearables like Whoop have become more popular.   Now, Polar aims to carve out a piece of the marketplace. Long known for its sports computers and heart rate monitors — since the 1970s—Polar...
How Running Helped One Family Recover From Unimaginable Loss
  When Lawlor Coe lost his brother Hunter to suicide, one of the ways he coped was by lacing up his joggers and running. At first, he was trying to elude his grief; over time he found that the physical suffering he endured on the trail helped him find a way toward peace and, from there, joy. After sorrow and anger,...
