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.

  Stakes and poles sold separately.

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.

Memory Foam Molded to Your Feet: Meindl MFS-Vakuum Hiker Review
  I used to dread breaking in new hiking boots whenever I finally had to retire a pair Id beaten to death. New pairs of boots always pinched, rubbed, and squeezed my feet in weird ways until, eventually, they would soften up and relent.   For whatever reason, that process has gotten easier over the years. Maybe I just got used to...
EXØD ‘Air Station Pod-01’ Is a $2,000 Portable, Inflatable Home
  The evolution of the tent has been a wild ride. Simple lean-to tents have been discovered dating back to 40,000 BCE. Theyve been used by nomadic tribes, armies, and traveling circuses in the millennia since. Then, in the mid-20th century, the classic survival tent, most often used for recreational camping and backpacking today, came into being.   Tent tech has been...
Fjallraven Kajka 35 Review: Wooden Stays Support This Durable Backpack
  Theres a lot to consider when buying a backpack, and for many shoppers, packs tend to look more alike than different. But when recently shopping for packs, I bumped into the Fjallraven Kajka 35, and the frame became the reason I ended up picking that specific pack.   Most internal frame packs have stays made from metal or carbon fiber. For...
2025 Nissan Rogue Gets Rock Creek Off-Roader
  The Nissan Rogue just got more rugged. The 2025 Nissan Rogue Rock Creek adds a chunky new front fascia, more cladding, and all-terrain tires. Some versions of the Rogue are also more tech-heavy with the addition of an invisible hood camera view and ProPilot Assist 2.1 hands-off highway driving, but those features will be surprisingly absent from the new off-road...

Lighter, Cheaper, Roomier: Blue Coolers Ice Vault Review
  For a number of years, coolers have been all the rage.

Neso 1 Beach Tent Review: Not Your Average Beach Umbrella
  Have you ever had your flimsy old beach umbrella blow away after just the smallest gust of wind at the beach? Its a beautiful, sunny day and the perfect opportunity to relax by the water, but the lack of reliable sun coverage hinders the whole experience. You can feel a sunburn forming, and there is no shade to read a...
All the Muscle, None of the Fat: Kenetrek Bridger High Hunting Boot Review
  I’ve worn Kenetrek boots on and off for years. Despite trying different brands and styles of boots, quality and dependability always bring me back to a pair of Kenetreks.   The new Bridger High offering fills the gaps in the straight leather heavy-duty hunting boot market. While every boot fills a different need, the Bridger High will surely be a go-to...

Wiley X Is Sneaky Good: ‘WX Founder’ Sunglasses Are a Pleasant Surprise
  Reviewing sunglasses is tricky business. Its really hard to quantify things like clear, sharp, or defined. But those adjectives tend to roll off the page, describing good optics without much support.   Historically, a handful of top sunglasses brands have earned those accolades consistently. Although Wiley X is good, it hasnt been one of them.   Until now. Ive worn the Wiley...
Onewheel Rally, Filson Camp Chair, Knog MTB Light, and More Emerging Gear
  When the going gets hot, weve all got to be a little more creative. If daytime temperatures feel overwhelming, why not have some outdoor fun in the cooler moments at night? That was my first thought when gazing at the beautiful night photography for Knogs new MTB bike light.   It made me reflect on night climbing in Central Texas to...
