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.

Dance or Drive? Your Choice With This Bestselling Ski: Blizzard Black Pearl Review
  I clearly remember clicking into the Blizzard Black Pearl 88s for the first time on a bluebird day at Vermont’s Stowe Mountain Resort. Last night had been cold enough for the resort to groom, but on my morning drive, I saw that the maple syrup makers were boiling last night’s sap, which meant Vermont was in full freeze-thaw.

Five Stellar Thru-Hikes in the Southeast That Aren’t the AT
  Its understandable why the Appalachian Trail (AT) gets all the glory when it comes to East Coast hiking. Americas first thru-hike definitely deserves its holy grail status, but its legendary reputation sometimes overshadows other trails. As magnificent as the AT is, there are plenty of other trails in the Southeast that are worth exploring.   Hikers can often adventure in this...
