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.

The Best Dropper Posts of 2024
  Dropper posts allow us to adjust our saddle height with the push of a lever, helping to enhance comfort, efficiency, and, most importantly, control while out on the trail. Many people would argue that dropper posts are one of the most important innovations in mountain bike technology, essentially transforming the way we ride.   The ability to adjust the height of...
A Backyard to Backcountry Splurge: Big Agnes Mica Basin Chair Review
  Sometimes comfort trumps weight, and while the Mica Basin Chair from Big Agnes might not be the lightest, it sure beats the hell out of sitting on a stump any day. With a luxurious 22-inch-wide seat, pre-bent poles for superior weight distribution, and a 300-pound capacity, this chair is a great choice for taller and heavier folks or those who just...
Adjust Your Tint, Play Your Music: Chamelo Music Shield Sunglasses Review
  As I jogged along the trail, I could hear the sound of gravel beneath my feet and Maynard James Keenan singing clearly in my ear. If my friends (ahead or behind) shouted at me, Id still hear their voices through my chugging metal playlist. But when we stopped and I asked, they couldnt hear my music unless they focused and...
Bowtech’s $4,000 ‘Honor’ Bow Salutes Fallen and Disabled Vets
  Bowtech is celebrating 25 years with a bow that raises eyebrows. The brand has created the Honor, an incredible limited-edition bow, and it has a great cause in its crosshairs.   I had the chance to check out the Honor in person at The Rally in Cave City this year. As an arrow-flinging tool, its a fine piece of engineering prowess....
Luna Middle Bear Sandals Review: Rise of the Do-It-All, Barefoot Hiking Sandal
  There was a time when overly cushioned athletic footwear reigned king (I’m looking at you, New Balance). In recent years, footwear trends have seen a shift toward barefoot designs. Out with overly padded, high-arched running and hiking shoes, and in with wide toeboxes, thin soles, and nonexistent arches. But Luna takes the barefoot hiking shoe one step further with its...
North America’s Overland Oasis: Introducing the XOverland Ranch
  Combine the likely most well-known overland travelers on the globe, an epic 500-acre property in Montana, and big aspirations. What you get is the XOverland Ranch. This facility will likely develop into one of the epicenters of overland training in North America.   I was lucky enough to be there for the grand opening, along with about 300 other overlanders. Heres...
The Fjällräven Kånken 17″Laptop Pack Review: A Computer Bag Packed With History
  OK, I finally get the hype. Ever since I was a kid, I have seen retro-style Fjällräven backpacks everywhere. From classrooms and coffee shops to international airports, I always saw the “hip kids” rocking these colorful cubic packs from the famous Swedish company.   I was surprised to learn that the iconic Kånken has been around since its genesis in 1978,...
Black Diamond Distance Carbon Z Pole Review: Ready to Go Fast? These Poles Are Lightyears Ahead
  I rounded the corner, hitting a patch of ice quicker than I’d like. I’m either going to tumble or catch myself — hopefully, the latter. To my elation, the Black Diamond Distance Carbon Z Poles caught me, with just enough flex to conform to my weight while retaining enough support to keep me upright.    I was running around Durango, Colo.,...
Handmade, 3-Season, Ultralight Sleeping Bag: Western Mountaineering Alpinlite Review
  My climbing partners and I trudged into camp around noon on Mt. Rainier, and I immediately tore off my boots. We’d been on the move since 9 p.m. the night before — a 15-hour push to the summit and back from a low camp. I dragged myself into my Western Mountaineering Alpinlite sleeping bag and plunged into what felt like a...
Shimano Pledges $10M to Support Mountain Bike Trails Globally
  Long before a pro cyclist shreds their way down a mountain, trail builders have spent hundreds of hours preparing the path. That work isnt cheap, either. In fact, creating trails for mountain biking can cost $10,000-45,000 per mile, according to Shimano.   The money pays not only for the materials, tools, and labor but also for costly environmental impact studies that...
Locked-In Running Earbuds: Anker Soundcore Sport X10 Headphones Review
  We’ve all been there — you’ve just finished your warmup laps, youre done stretching, and its time to check your laces, turn up the volume on your headphones, and pick up your tempo. Then, 2 minutes into your first lap, tragedy strikes. An earbud has slipped out and gone rolling, and you were so in the zone that you couldnt...
