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.

Why We Can’t Log Our Way Out of Wildfires
  Editor’s Note: We first published this story in January 2019 in the wake of the Camp Fire, the deadliest in California history. With the Palisades, Sunset, and Eaton Fires now raging across the Los Angeles area—and discussion about the role that U.S. forest policy might have played in creating the conditions for them following in their wake—we feel it’s as...
Is This the Most Dystopian Climb in the US?
  Diesel fumes. Cyanide. Falling dirt, laced with coal. Mysterious flecks of neon plastic.   These are a few of the things you might accidentally inhale while climbing Utah’s Pricecicle, a 60-foot pillar right off Highway 6.   If you like your ice like I like my martinis, then the Pricecicle will not disappoint. Is this the greatest dirtcicle in the West?   There...
Help! My Boyfriend Is a Doomsday Prepper.
  When I first started dating my boyfriend, he mentioned that he had a group of friends who went “camping” every month to practice skills for the future. I asked for more details and he said that they practice orienteering, tracking, and survival skills like that. He’s a really sweet, caring guy and nothing seemed like a red flag. Actually, my...
Premium, Powerful, and Barely Portable: SOUNDBOKS Go Portable Speaker Review

Each one has some upsides and downsides, and more importantly, they all have situations in...
‘Grief and Outrage’: LA Wildfire Survivor Shares Advice for the Displaced
  The original version of this article appeared on The Inertia.   On January 8, a scattering of wildfires in Los Angeles turned into the apocalypse. As Bad Religion once sang, “Palm trees are candles in the murder winds.” The Santa Ana winds howled throughout the night, and with the dawn came almost unbelievable scenes of devastation. The Palisades Fire torched entire communities....

Every Winter, I Read the Same Brilliant Essay About Snow
  Seasonal reading—that’s my boring-but-apt term for enriching the mood and meaning of a certain time of year with the addition of a certain text. Each April, I reach for the “Spring” chapter in Walden. Every July, I take a lap in E.B. White’s “Once More to the Lake.” And in November, when the brown ground freezes and the weatherman predicts...

No Fun for You! Celebrating a Teammate Win Is No Longer Allowed in Pro Cycling
  The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), the international governing body for competitive cycling, is known for incredibly overbearing, sometimes downright wacky rules. And every year, committees at the UCI develop a litany of amendments to the overwhelming number of regulations. But a 2025 change seems to do nothing but take fun out of winning.   Many UCI amendments are certainly warranted. One...
