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.

Small, Simple, and Shockingly Capable: REI Co-op Flash 18 Daypack Review
  I jogged up to my ski partners truck, ready to get some August turns in, only to be met with uncontrollable laughter.

But...
Packable, Sturdy, But Pricey: Hunt Arsenal ICON X20 Climbing Stick Review
  For many modern whitetail hunters, mobility has become the name of the game. Permanent blinds are warm and cozy, and comfortable padded ladder stands are a great place to spend a morning. But those comforts are limited to those with private land access, and they don’t allow you to adjust on the fly with changes in deer behavior.   For those...
Heavy Metal: REP x PÉPIN FAST Series Adjustable Dumbbell Review
  Adjustable dumbbells are an excellent way to save space in your home gym. But buying adjustable dumbbells means making some compromises. Often, adjustable dumbbells come in odd shapes, fail to distribute weight evenly, or have plastic components that can affect durability.   The REP x PÉPIN FAST Series Adjustable Dumbbell ($1,500 for a 125-pound pair) appears to buck this trend, featuring...
EDC Knife Thinner Than Your Wallet: Vosteed Parallel Review
  I constantly wear joggers and lightweight pants that many would classify as athleisure. These are softshell-style pants, offering little by way of rigidity for carrying a knife. But as an EDC aficionado, I wont go anywhere without a knife.   Wallet, keys, phone, knife —a good setup, but heavy on the pockets. This has left me on the hunt for a...
National Park Pass ‘Stickergate’: Creative Workarounds Find New Ways of Covering Controversial Redesign
  The reaction to the 2026 National Park annual passes has been mixed, to say the least. When the Interior Department released its new design in November, many longtime passholders were surprised. There was no native flora and fauna, which had long dominated the passes aesthetic design.   Instead, the passes included a photo of President Trump next to a portrait of...

You might need a highly portable mat for travel, or youre looking for extra...
The Power of Outdoor Guides: How I Overcame My Fear of Camping Alone

Ive done plenty of adventurous things, from river rafting in Oregon to hiking the Camino de Santiago in Spain, rappelling off 100-foot cliffs in Arkansas, and the list goes on.   But even with years of experience in the outdoors, Im embarrassed to admit that I couldnt do one...
