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.

2024 GearJunkie Adventure Vehicle of the Year Awards
  Automakers continue to churn out new vehicles that are ready for adventure straight off the showroom floor. While 2024 was a year of many refreshes and not many truly new vehicles, there are a few standouts worthy of a 2024 GearJunkie Adventure Vehicle of the Year Award.   Our editors and contributors got behind the wheel of many new vehicles that...
A Transceiver That Talks to You: Ortovox Diract Voice Beacon Review
  Voice guidance is the real standout feature on this beacon, and for the most part, it works very well. In single and multiple burial scenarios, the Ortovox handled itself very well with quick processing and clear guidance, partly due to the voice assist and partly to its large LED screen with clear graphics.   We also loved how the Ortovox Diract...
Black Diamond ‘Validates’ Recycled Aluminum Use
  Many outdoor brands have launched sustainability programs lauding recycled textiles and other materials. Black Diamond is taking another step with third-party validation of the recycled aluminum content in hard goods.   The brand claims verifying the content of recycled aluminum in products like carabiners and trekking poles is an industry first.   Quantity of Recycled Aluminum in Black Diamond Gear      Trekking...
Is Ski Racing Viable in a Warming World?
  Glaciers shrinking in Europe are no secret, especially to ski racers.   Just eight years ago, U.S. speed skier Sam Morse remembers training on a glacier above Zermatt. When the training session ended, he skied on the glacier all the way down to the cable car’s mid-station and downloaded to town from there. Now, the glacier no longer reaches the mid-station....
Big Gains, Small Space: BowFlex SelectTech 552 Dumbbell Review
  When it comes to home gyms, floor space is a precious commodity. The BowFlex SelectTech 552 Adjustable Dumbbells happen to be somewhat of a Swiss Army knife for strength training.   With their cool look, dial-a-weight system, and promise to replace 15 sets of dumbbells, they had my attention. I mean, I happen to have the room, but I dont want...
Atomic Pro C3 Skintec + Shift CL Review: A Cross-Country Classic Ski to Get You Started and Grow With You
  Mohair skin classic skis are gaining popularity for their versatility and ease of maintenance. The Atomic Pro C3 Skintec (W) + Shift CL ($430) is no exception. These skis are ready to tackle any winter snow conditions. From icy spring mornings to pristine midwinter snow, these were my go-to classic skis this winter.   Though more expensive than other classic skis...
For the Love of Hiking, It’s Time We All Stopped Cutting Switchbacks
  In early August, on the shoulder of Colorado’s highest peak, 14,439-foot Mount Elbert, I suddenly found myself unable to do anything except apologize.   I had started up the mountain so early that morning you could still call it night, hiking the remote Black Cloud Trail that leads to Elbert’s southeast ridge. The trail was lit by so many stars I sometimes...
Montana Sues Park Service Over Yellowstone National Park Bison Plan
  Montana state officials have already made a New Years resolution: Sue the federal government. In a lawsuit filed on Dec. 31, Montana Governor Greg Gianforte accused the U.S. National Park Service (NPS) of violating established agreements for managing bison.   Federal wildlife officials have ignored Montanas concerns about increased numbers of bison, the lawsuit said, and also avoided vaccinating the animals...
Alone On Everest, Alpinist Sets Frigid, Improbable Record
  No one has ever climbed Mount Everest quite like this. He hasnt summited yet, but a German alpinist is making headway on one of climbings most daunting feats.   Jost Kobusch just reached a milestone on an ambitious — and highly dangerous — project on the worlds highest mountain. The 32-year-old aims to scale Mount Everest alone in winter, and without supplementary...
Skiing Uphill for a Year: New World Record Holder Finishes 2024 With 3.5 Million Vertical Feet
  Noah Dines was skiing uphill when he answered the phone. It was December 20. He was in Stowe, Vermont, and closing in on 3.5 million vertical feet. Every step Dines took as he spoke with GearJunkie pushed the world record higher for the greatest altitude difference ever covered in a single year on skis.   Dines started skiing on January 1,...
Make Efficiency Comfortable: 2025 Kia Sorento Hybrid Review
  As the light turns green, I bury the throttle. The electric motor twists with all its might, pressing me into the back of the seat. A moment later, the engine kicks on, and a second surge of acceleration pushes me back harder. Now, all 227 horsepower go to work, accelerating this mini-Telluride off into the horizon. All while it achieves...
The Most Popular All-Terrain Tire Just Got Better
  Next time you drive anywhere—to work, school, your local ski area—check the tires on the vehicles around you and more than likely you’ll see a set of BFGoodrich KO2 all-terrains (ATs) rolling by. Long loved for their performance and looks, the KO2 is the most ubiquitous all-terrain tire on the market, and for good reason.   Made to perform well in...
