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.

Surviving at Sea on a Surfboard
  Matthew Bryce went surfing alone. Would he die alone, too? As he was riding waves, Bryce got blown out to sea. He had a wetsuit and a surfboard, and nothing else. No way to call for help, or signal to the rescuers that he could see searching for him in a helicopter. Alone and freezing in the ocean, how do...
My Experience With Stem Cell Therapy: Snake Oil or Silver Bullet?
  Dr. David Karli, his tech Mariah, and an anesthesiologist named Adriana were all hovering over me. Soon, I’d be taking a deep nap while Karli and Mariah drilled into my hips to extract bone marrow, which would be centrifuged, turned into stem cells, and injected into my knee.   I was grateful for the anesthesia. From experience, I knew the extraction...
Sex Differences in Sport Are Hugely Controversial Right Now. Here’s What Science Does (and Doesn’t) Know.
  Earlier this month, the Journal of Applied Physiology published a paper with the title “Evidence on Sex Differences in Sports Performance.” Seems pretty straightforward, but of course it’s not. The gap between male and female athletes has become a major flashpoint in debates on whether transgender women and athletes with differences of sexual development, like the South African runner Caster...
Teenage Phenom: Watch Canadian 16-Year-Old Shred on Hometown Trail
  For 16-year-old Tayte Proulx-Royds, its impossible to remember a time when she wasnt on a bike.

In 2011, she took home the Dark Horse Award from the Dark Horse Invitational Freeride. Tayte was just 11 years old at the...
Jetboil’s Lightest, Smallest ‘Stash’ Cook System Does Not Compromise
  As someone who spends many nights in the backcountry every year, I have become all too familiar with firing up backpacking stoves and eating out of bags. It’s part of the gig if you want a hot meal at night or coffee in the morning.   The truth is, though, not all stoves are created equal. Jetboil has always stood on...
Can Probiotic Supplements Improve Athletic Performance? Maybe, but Doctor’s Won’t Recommend Them—Yet.
  As someone who’s dealt with digestive issues for years, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t intrigued by probiotics. Wherever I look, there are probiotic products—from capsules and powders to gummies and fizzy sodas—that claim to boost your immune system, fix your gut, and even improve your mood.   There are many different probiotic strains, but common ones include Lactobacillus,...
Go-Kart Mode Engaged: 2025 MINI Cooper S Hardtop 2-Door Review
  When I picked up the 2025 MINI Cooper S Hardtop 2-Door, I knew it’d be fun. Since the modern BMW-made MINI’s debut in 2001, the performance-oriented Cooper S models have been a blast to drive. Plus, they ooze with character and novelty.   My test car wore Sunny Side Yellow paint with a black roof, 18-inch wheels, and performance tires, and...
Plus-Size Outdoor Apparel Company Alpine Parrot Shutters
  After five years of trailblazing as a plus-size apparel entrepreneur, Raquel Vélez recently shuttered her outdoor apparel company, Alpine Parrot, due to a lack of profit.   Alpine Parrot was one of a handful of outdoor brands dedicated to the plus-size market, which makes up more than 65 percent of Americans. Vélez started with sizes 14-24 and ultimately expanded to size...
This Is How to Survive Hypothermia
  Three years ago, I was pursuing a herd of elk down a steep gully into a remote mountain valley in southwest Montana when it began to snow. The storm was unexpected and hyper-local; it often is in the mountains. It was only the middle of September, so I wore thin base layers under soft-shell pants, a thin fleece jacket, and...
