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.

Space Heater Doubles as Camp Stove: Ignik Skullet Heater Stove Review
  Camping in the winter is not for the faint of heart. It’s cold. It’s wet. And it requires a lot of gear and layers. But the best part about camping in the off-season is that it’s typically uncrowded, quiet, and beautiful.   Ive always been a fan of sleeping outside. I love the smell of campfires, the fresh air, and waking...
Wheelie Control, Virtual Clutch, and Ready to Rip: Segway Shows Off Xaber 300 e-Moto at CES
  Segway is once again showing off an electric motorcycle prototype at the annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. This time, though, its a model destined for production later this year.   The Segway Xaber 300 (pronounced say-br) is a small, electric, off-road motorcycle with a bunch of new tech. Segway says that it is inspired by the X1000 prototype,...
Packable, Sturdy, But Pricey: Hunt Arsenal ICON X20 Climbing Stick Review
  For many modern whitetail hunters, mobility has become the name of the game. Permanent blinds are warm and cozy, and comfortable padded ladder stands are a great place to spend a morning. But those comforts are limited to those with private land access, and they don’t allow you to adjust on the fly with changes in deer behavior.   For those...
Heavy Metal: REP x PÉPIN FAST Series Adjustable Dumbbell Review
  Adjustable dumbbells are an excellent way to save space in your home gym. But buying adjustable dumbbells means making some compromises. Often, adjustable dumbbells come in odd shapes, fail to distribute weight evenly, or have plastic components that can affect durability.   The REP x PÉPIN FAST Series Adjustable Dumbbell ($1,500 for a 125-pound pair) appears to buck this trend, featuring...

The charge stems from an incident in May 2025. Three Montana Army National Guard members were flying a UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter on what was described as an authorized training flight when they diverted from...
This App Covers the Full Cost of Any Emergency Rescue — And It’s Cheaper Than Netflix
  A satellite device with an SOS function is an important piece of gear in the wilderness. In the event of an emergency, however, pressing that SOS button is just the beginning.   Search and rescue operations can be extremely complicated and cost thousands of dollars. Thats where Overwatch x Rescue (OxR) comes in. This new satellite app promises not only to...
EDC Knife Thinner Than Your Wallet: Vosteed Parallel Review
  I constantly wear joggers and lightweight pants that many would classify as athleisure. These are softshell-style pants, offering little by way of rigidity for carrying a knife. But as an EDC aficionado, I wont go anywhere without a knife.   Wallet, keys, phone, knife —a good setup, but heavy on the pockets. This has left me on the hunt for a...

Virtual Cycling Treasure Hunt: Explore MyWhoosh, Win Bitcoin
  Theres no telling where youll find cryptocurrency these days. I spent some of my winter break hiking near the small town of Brevard, N.C., where I was surprised to see a Bitcoin ATM advertised on the sign of a gas station that looked like it was built in the 1960s. A quick Google search shows about a half dozen such...
Simple, Affordable, Effective: Kings Camo XKG Leg Gaiters Review
  Sometimes, it makes sense to invest in a logo. Other times, it doesnt. Gaiters are one area where I want simple, effective, and affordable gear. I know theyre going to wear out and need replacing, no matter how much I spend.   I had a chance to test the Kings Camo XKG Leg Gaiters in South Dakota, and they made me...
How to Choose a Yoga Mat
  Yoga mats may be similar in dimensions and thickness, but theyre not all the same. Just as there are numerous styles of yoga, there are also variations in mats, and what works well for you may not be ideal for someone practicing right next to you.   You might need a highly portable mat for travel, or youre looking for extra...
