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.

  Stakes and poles sold separately.

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.

  My partner and I always fight while packing the car for a road trip, especially around the holidays. It brings out the worst in us.

How can we avoid another packing meltdown this month? —Road Weary...
How to Clean, Waterproof, and Care for Your Technical Apparel
  Have you ever bundled yourself up in the early winter, trudged outside to shovel your walk or clear off your car from the first storm of the season, and found yourself soaking wet? Your waterproof-breathable shells, sleeping bags, gloves, boots, insulation, and soft shells all need regular cleaning and maintenance to keep protecting you from cold, wet conditions. Retreating your gear...
First Look: Suunto Wing and Sonic Headphones
  Your personalized playlist can be the key to achieving faster splits, pushing through longer distances, or simply setting the right vibe to match your mantra.

You can still enjoy music or podcasts while staying in tune with your surroundings—you just need the right headphones....
2025 Aston Martin Vantage Review: Great Expectations, Even Better in the Flesh
  A more compact footprint sufficiently differentiates the Vantage from the larger DB12 grand tourer and Vanquish flagship. Both those stellar models serve their purpose, but the smallest Aston in the lineup caters to driving enthusiasts with a dynamic and nimble chassis.   That chassis now houses a twin-turbo AMG V8 massaged by Aston to pump out an unbelievable 656 horsepower and...
What’s the Best Time to Drink a Protein Shake?
  Protein shakes have exploded in popularity. Per a 2023 journal article, the market value for protein supplements (which includes ready-to-drink shakes, powders, gummies, and bars) is expected to hit $10.8 billion in 2030.

10-Lb. Canoe Carries 800 Lbs., Fits in Your Pack: Alpacka Raft Rendezvous Review
  After struggling against a headwind for the better part of an hour, I had some flagging confidence in our inflatable canoe. The concept was good — great, even — but facing a persistent wind in your larger-than-average rubber duck will make anyone question whether the trade was worth it. My doubt was short-lived, however.   Later that day, we met another...
GearJunkie Goes Full Suspension on the Slopes: ShredShox First Look Review
  I stood on the edge of the catwalk, looking down at the moguls below me. I bounced experimentally on the air shocks beneath my feet, which compressed slightly under my weight. This was my third run with the ShredShox platform system, and I was just starting to get a feel for it.   It wasnt throwing my skiing off — as I...
This Is the Last Place You Should Wear Whole-Body Deodorant
  I couldn’t tell you where I was when I first saw Secret’s whole-body deodorant commercial, but I can tell you it has followed me everywhere since—from Instagram to YouTube to my household’s patchwork of streaming services. “Wanna know a secret? More than just my armpits stink,” a woman deadpans straight into the camera. Then, a chorus of women cheerfully extolls...
The Weird Foothill Guy Believes His Style of Skiing Is Better than a Day at the Resort. We Tried It Out.
  Whump! My face plant is sudden, a cartwheel of flying ski poles and curse words into powder. The sting of snow on bare skin jolts my eyes open, and I hear a chorus of woo! erupt lower on the slope.   “Yeah, Fred!” a voice bellows. “You were a little too far forward—remember to keep your weight back.”   I brush myself...
Who’s Got It Worse, Ass-Pens or J-Holes?
  Outside spends a lot of time ranking the best mountain towns in the country, but which one is the worst? Is Aspen’s conspicuous wealth worse than Jackson Hole’s false modesty? How many billionaires does it take to ruin a local economy? Is there any hope for the ski-bum lifestyle? Paddy O’Connell and Frederick “Rico” Reimers bring us a debate you...
Virginia Hunter Killed by Bear Falling From Tree
  Black bears are considered less dangerous game animals than brown bears or grizzlies —but a hunting accident this month shows that encounters can still be deadly.   On Monday, Dec. 9, the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources was notified of a hunting incident in Lunenburg County. A group of hunters were pursuing a bear when it climbed up a tree. A...
What It’s Really Like to Buy a 1 Euro Home in Italy
  What if we told you you could buy a home in a quaint Italian village for less than the price of a cappuccino? The fine print, of course, is that the house you’ll get will essentially be a collapsed set of walls. It will need major construction to be livable, and it’ll take much longer than you’d expect (read: years,...
