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.

Performance and Durability in One Great Sport Climbing Shoe: Ocún Sigma Review
  Czech climbing brand Ocún might not be on your radar, but its new shoe, the Sigma, proved why it should be. The aggressive, high-performance lace-up shoe was perfect for those looking to send harder projects outdoors.   I tested the Ocún Sigma for months inside and outdoors on rugged Iowa limestone, primarily on sport routes, as that’s the shoes target discipline....
Tour de France Winner to Help Slovenian Flood Victims
  In August 2023, Slovenia suffered massive floods that affected two-thirds of the entire country. At least seven people died, with property damage amounting to billions of euros.   As the European nation struggles to rebuild, it will get a little help from a homegrown hero: cycling star Tadej Pogačar. The Slovenian road cyclist — affectionately known as Pogi to his fans...
Lighter, Cheaper, Faster: BioLite Charge 100 Max Review
  Early on, I adopted a blurred background for Zoom meetings — no one needed to know I might be taking that meeting from the parking lot of my favorite local trail. And I don’t see the way I work changing any time soon. If anything, I see myself working more remotely and spending more time on Hipcamp looking up future...
Swift, Slick, and Sturdy Vehicle Awning: Kammok Crosswing Review
  Some vehicle awnings were quick to deploy and retract, but folded in winds I considered weak. Others required much more effort and sometimes two people to set up. Putting them away could be incredibly inconvenient and time-consuming. And I didnt consider any of them adventure-ready, meaning I could get them up as soon as a rainstorm blew in, and they...
KEEN’s Hyperport H2 Hybrid Adventure Sandal Is Ready for the Water
  Few states hold as many hidden treasures as Nevada. Minerals, mountains and majestic, sparsely populated landscapes are par for the course. But less high on the Nevada adventure radar? Hot springs. Lots of ’em.   Sure, the state looks incredibly dry when you’re zooming through on I-80, but that topography hides some of the most geothermally active zones in the United...
Shock Value ‘Hunters’ Fuel Anti-Hunting Fire: We Must Demand Higher-Caliber Ethics
  Ethical behavior is doing the right thing when no one else is watching — even when doing the wrong thing is legal. — Aldo Leopold   I begin this story with this classic Aldo Leopold quote because, lets face it, mistakes happen. At one point or another, every hunter makes mistakes. Some are small and insignificant. Some lead to longer treks...
‘Historic’: Conservation Fund Makes Largest Outdoor Investment in Half-Century
  Your local park might be getting some improvements thanks to a new injection of funding from the federal government.

Each state will receive at least several million dollars, as well as additional funding for U.S. territories and the District of...
Retro Looks Meet All-Day Comfort: L.L.Bean Women’s Mountain Classic Quilted Booties Review
  There’s no better feeling than slipping into a warm pair of down booties after a long day of skiing. Especially when the booties you’ve bought are easy to throw on and pretty much mold to your feet after a few wears.   I rocked the L.L.Bean Womens Mountain Classic Quilted Booties during a seemingly never-ending winter here in Colorado. For the...
Budget-Beater Luggage: Rockland Melbourne 20 Carry-On Review
  Airline travel is rough on luggage, and when some carry-on baggage bashing is inevitable these days, there seem to be two practical approaches: Frequent fliers may elect for the crème de la crème of bags — sturdy, long-lasting, and, often, pricey. Others, however, just need the dang bag to get there in one piece — without forking over half your...
