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.

Therm-a-Rest NeoLoft Sleeping Pad Review: Car Camping Comfort That Fits in Your Pack
  By the time I was 15, I was well aware Santa wasn’t putting gifts under the tree for me. But that didnt make Christmas Day 1997 any less magical — especially given all the new backpacking gear I had asked “him” for. Brimming with excitement, I tore through the crinkling, colorful wrapping paper. All the colors of our trees lights...
Love It or Hate It, Iconic Dual-Sport Motorcycle Gets Modern Updates: Suzuki DR-Z4S

NEMO Aurora 2 Review: Affordable Tent Straddles Car Camping and Backpacking
  Backpacking tents tend to be tighter on space to save on weight. But sometimes, some extra headspace makes it a lot easier to change clothes, play games, or generally live more comfortably. I am only 5’3, so I find most tents spacious enough. My boyfriend, on the other hand, is 6’2 and always appreciates a little extra space. Sometimes, its...

Meindl Air Revolution Alpine 4.1 Toes Line Between Hiking, Hunting Boot
  Mountain hunting boots tend to be stiff. That can be great in near vertical terrain, but for slightly less aggressive hiking and hunting scenarios, a sole with just a little flex makes the going much more comfortable. The Meindl Air Revolution Alpine 4.1 Hiker hits a nice compromise between stiffness and flex for use on both trails and steep off-trail...
Watch Climbers Push the Limits in ‘Jirishanca’ Trailer
  I dont want to die of cancer. That gripping statement from a professional climber sets the stage for Jirishanca.   It gets heavier from there.   This 9-month-old clip from Reel Rock 18 captures the assumption of risk in the mountains. It focuses on the first ascent of Suerte Integral, a 3,500-foot 5.13a WI6+ M7 route on the southeast face of Jirishanca...

Work Hard, Play Hard: Building Bike Culture
  Presented by      At first glance, Cristian Sosa seems like everything a biker should be. His slicked-back hair, tightly groomed beard, and arms adorned with well-worn black and gray tattoos may fool you into thinking that Sosa’s demeanor matches his hard-core biker image. But like that saying about books and covers, not everything is as it seems.   Anyone who has...
