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.

California-Legal Automatic Knife: Prometheus Design Werx SPD CAS OTF Review
  I’m not a prepper or survivalist, but I like to think that I am prepared to survive when I spend time in the outdoors. So, like many folks, a crucial part of my kit is a good knife. Or, at least, it used to be. Now, it’s a series of knives that work in harmony to complete different tasks.   For...
Little Camber Goes Long Way: 4FRNT Nevar Backcountry Ski Review
  We pretend that backcountry skiing in Colorado is all powder all the time. I’d be lying if I said my ski acquisitions over the last decade didn’t reflect that fantasy, too.   So when I scraped down a wind-scoured slope, thrashed through breakable crust, and gasped for air in a cloud of deep powder all within the span of one backcountry...

Wildly Light, Fast, and Expensive: Yeti ASR T5 Ultimate XX SL Transmission Review
  Yeti Cycles is a brand with a rich and storied racing history. Surprisingly, Yeti hasnt had a full-blown cross-country race bike in its lineup since it stopped making the ASR in 2018 — until it launched the all-new ASR in March 2024.   Yeti went all-in to make the new ASR a thoroughbred MTB XC race machine capable of going toe-to-toe...
Trango Agility Duo Dry 9.1 Review: Sendy, Spendy, and Extra Safe
  Coming up on 2 decades of climbing, I’ve never been seriously injured. I chalk it up to consistently safe practices, great climbing partners, and a lot of luck. I have a few friends who haven’t been so lucky. They live with life-altering spinal injuries, partial paralysis, and chronic pain. These are a result of the most common climbing accident —...
Entry to These 20 National Parks Won’t Cost You a Dime
  Many of America’s 63 national parks charge an entrance fee, usually $30-$35 per vehicle or $15 if you’re walking or on a bike. Or you can get an annual pass for just $80. The fee covers you for seven days, and the money goes to a good cause: according to the NPS, 80 percent is used within the park, helping...
How to Learn a New Sport with Your Significant Other
  It takes a lot to push yourself to your physical limit alongside a significant other. It takes even more to do so for 12 straight days in some of the country’s most unforgiving terrain. And yet that’s what Andrew Hamilton and Andrea Sansone did in July 2024, when they set the couple’s record for hiking all 58 of Colorado’s 14,000-foot...

What Writing an Outdoors Advice Column Taught Me About Relationships
  My favorite Tough Love question from the last eight years, the one I (somewhat inexplicably) recall most fondly, was from a woman whose boyfriend was grossed out that she used a pee rag—a.k.a. reusable toilet paper—while camping. We got a lot of impassioned reader feedback about that one: Pee is sanitary! Pee is gross! Bodies are normal! Women’s bodies in...
These Are the Best Meals You Can Eat While Skiing
  Everyone knows a skier who prides themselves on skiing through lunch, only to fuel up on pocket jerky and maybe a PBR on the lift. But during a long day on the slopes, we’re never opposed to warming up our toes and refueling in the lodge.   Of course, many lodge cafeterias offer an exceptionally average $30 plate of a burger...
1UP’s Super Duty Bike Rack Is a Marvel of Engineering 
  If you asked me to name the best bike brand, it would be impossible. Dozens of brands make top-shelf bikes that are an absolute pleasure to ride and full of creative technologies. However, naming the best bike rack brand is easy: 1UP. Several other brands make totally competent racks, but none are as unique, well made, thoroughly designed, or beautiful...
