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.

The Unexpected Benefits of Chopping Wood, with Nicole Coenen
  Wood chopping is objectively awful for all the obvious reasons: blisters, back aches, over-the-counter painkiller expenses. But that’s not what you remember months later, when the fruits of your labor warm you and your loved ones on a cold winter night. See, wood chopping is really an investment—both in terms of that crackling fire, but also your emotional well being. ...

Olight Heard Our Complaints, And Its Latest Flashlight Solves the Problem
  I was standing at a remote campsite at 11,000 feet. Night had already fallen when I pulled out Olights latest flashlight, the ArKPro (reviewed here). I pushed the button, and a beam shot forth, lighting up a wide section of hillside 75 yards away.   What the heck is that? one of my buddies inquired, grabbing for the flashlight. Wow, thats...

To Hybrid or Not to Hybrid: 2026 Toyota Corolla Cross First Drive Review
  The Toyota Corolla nameplate has always been about dependability, practicality, and approachable pricing. Since 2023, that formula has stretched into the hot compact SUV space with the Corolla Cross model. For 2026, Toyota sharpens the Corolla Cross with new tech, refined styling, and an upgraded hybrid system.   I put both the 2026 Toyota Corolla Cross gas and hybrid versions to...

Sneaker-Like Hiking Boot Tackles Mountains: La Sportiva Aequilibrium Hike GTX Review
  Its September in the Rocky Mountains, and the ground is slopped with an inch of slush. I step on a soaked branch as I cross a ravine, half expecting to slip on the slimy surface. But the aggressive lugs of the pliable La Sportiva Aeqilibrium Hike GTX boots on my feet grip hard. I take another step and another as...

Watch: ‘Extreme Birdwatching’ Documentary Is Can’t-Miss Fun, Even If You Don’t Own Binoculars
  A good slice-of-life documentary highlights a certain side of people. Usually, the more niche the personalities involved, the more entertaining the movie is.   For instance, Hands on a Hardbody documents an annual competition where 24 contestants keep a hand on a pickup truck, and the last person standing gets to keep it. The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters...
$10 Lift Tickets: Snowbowl Sets Historically Low Prices to Get More People Skiing
  While the rest of the world enjoys reasonably priced lift tickets, here in the U.S., a single day of skiing can cost the family farm. But thats not true all over the States.
