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.

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.

  I was flummoxed, frustrated, and frantic.   It was the spring of 2024, and like millions of Americans, I was searching for a campsite  ahead of Memorial Day Weekend.

Filming in National Parks Just Got Easier—Expect More Climbing Content
  On January 4, 2025, President Biden signed the bipartisan EXPLORE Act into U.S. law, ending a year-long panic over a proposed bolting ban in national parks.

One of the lesser-known changes to the law, however, was Section 125, the Federal Interior Land Media (“FILM”) Act, which the North...
Here’s How I Stayed Healthy During the Trek to Mount Everest Base Camp
  Part of the challenge of hiking to Mount Everest Base Camp is avoiding illness and exhaustion.

Think Your Job Is Tough? Talk to a Mount Everest Icefall Doctor.
  The helipad at the northern end of Mount Everest Base Camp was buzzing with energy when I arrived on a sunny Monday afternoon in mid-May.
