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.

‘Alone’ Was Forever Changed by a Moose Hunt in the Canadian Backcountry
  The twang of a recurve bow echoes from the television speakers, and on screen, a man wearing camouflage ducks behind a clump of fir trees.   Holy cow, I nailed it, a voice whispers. My heart is pumping so fast right now.   The scene marks the turning point of season 6 of the survival reality show Alone, and first aired on June...
Classic Trail Reopens in Zion National Park After 2-Year Closure
  The Emerald Pools, a series of three pristine cascading bodies of water, is one of the most scenic spots in all of Zion National Park.   For the last 2 years, the bridge that carries hikers over the Virgin River has been closed due to an unstable foundation. That forced visitors to make a longer hike with a series of detours....
Another Tourist in Yellowstone Got Too Close to a Bison. It Gored Him.
  Last summer, Outside sent writer Drew Magary to Yellowstone National Park, not to observe the wildlife, but instead to gawk at the tourists. Amid all the chaos of high season at one of the United States’ most heavily-trafficked national parks, Magary discovered, among other things, that “everyone who comes to Yellowstone is horny for bison.”   But unlike other big, dangerous...
Opinel Launches ‘National Parks Collection’ Knives to Support Leave No Trace

Opinels limited-edition National Parks collection knives are a perfect example. The folding knife brand launched this collection on June 12, 2025, to...
After 10 Years Hiking Europe, These Are My 10 Favorite Treks
  For years, I’ve snubbed Europe’s mountains as soon as the ski season ended. For me, the Alps were long synonymous with winter: hut-to-hut ski tours in the Italian Dolomites, shots of schnapps at après in Austria, and cozy cabins and hearty meals of fondue and raclette in Switzerland.   Around a decade ago, a work assignment took me to the Savoie...
Nike and Faith Kipyegon Plan to Crack the Four-Minute Mile This Month. Here’s How.
  Earlier this week, I found myself dissecting an embargoed briefing video frame by frame, like a JFK obsessive trying to squeeze meaning from the Zapruder film. I’d just had an interview with three top scientists from Nike’s Breaking4 team, the group tasked with coordinating Faith Kipyegon’s attempt to run the first women’s sub-four-minute mile later this month. I got some...

There are a few more collaborations than usual this week, but how can we leave out stylish, Keith Haring-inspired running shoes, understated threads from Toyota, or a fashionable pairing of Osprey...
The 6 Best Joggers for Men, Tested in the Real World and In Our Gear Lab
  The everyday jogger isn’t as robust as soft shell pants you’d climb a mountain in, nor are they lifesaving items like avalanche airbags or helmets that traditionally get tested more rigorously. But during my decade of working as Outside’s Gear Guy, the tests I’ve enjoyed the most are when weve gone deep on everyday pieces of gear like the humble...
