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.

This Cave in Ohio Is One of the Nation’s Most Booked Vacation Homes

Fire It Up: SOTO WindMaster vs. MSR PocketRocket Deluxe Backpacking Stove Showdown
  It was nearly freezing above 14,000 feet, and my SOTO WindMaster was whipping up some warm coffee for me despite the breeze.

12 Yoga Poses That Are Surprisingly Similar to Your Gym Workout
  As a certified personal trainer and yoga teacher, I work with a lot of athletes who are reticent to try yoga. This happens for several reasons, among them the fact that learning the poses can be a lot harder than you’d think. There are literally hundreds of poses, each demanding strength and coordination. It’s essentially like learning an entirely different...

Luxury Home on Wheels Tackles Iconic Moab 4×4 Trails: TruckHouse R&D Mission

Harriton, the founder of American Expedition Vehicles (AEV), and Yegge, the engineer who ensures that all AEV vehicles are built to world-class standards. Back then, we were in Moab filming an episode for the now-shuttered Speed...

Everrati Electric Porsche 911 Review: Heresy Never Looked (or Drove) So Good
  In certain Porsche circles, any modification to the venerable 911 approaches the horrors of absolute heresy. Purists believe everyone should just put their utmost trust in the wizards of Weissach and respect the original performance of the 911 as produced in that period.   I love Porsches in general, and have owned multiple models. Yet I can still recognize that modern...
Climb Confidently, Comfortably: Scarpa Drago XT Rock Shoe Review
  Given that GearJunkie already crowned the Scarpa Drago the best climbing shoe for steep routes and boulders, it was a surprise when the Drago XT showed up in the mail. I couldnt see how Scarpa could improve such a beloved, high-performing shoe, or why it would introduce another Drago model that could sully the line.   So, I put myself on...
