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.

  There are a dizzying array of drinks and powders on the market that promise to keep you hydrated and boost energy levels during your runs.

Is It Safe to Travel to Mexico? I Think: Yes. Here’s What to Know.
  I could spend a lifetime exploring Mexico and probably still not scratch the surface of all the country has to offer. It’s long been one of my favorite getaways when I need a quick surf and sun fix or a dose of culture. A few years ago, my friend Val and I plotted a road trip around Baja California Sur....
Tyler Andrews to Attempt Everest Speed Record
  American ultrarunner Tyler Andrews has set a bold goal for 2025: ascend Mount Everest without the use of supplemental oxygen faster than anyone in history. Andrews, 34, who has set speed records on 26,781-foot Manaslu and 22,837-foot Aconcagua, told Outside that he’s going to attempt the Fastest Known Time (FKT) for ascending Everest via the South Col route this May....
A Super-Shooter Braided Fishing Line: Berkley Forward Braid Review
  I am unashamedly nonchalant when it comes to selecting braided fishing lines. Every time I respool a reel with a braid, I switch up the brand, mostly out of curiosity. Each company claims to have the best casting, most sensitive, and best strength-to-diameter braided line.   Having tried a bunch of different options, I can honestly say that while there are...
What’s the Best Underwear for Backpacking?
  When I bought my first pair of Merino wool underwear—a pair of Ibex briefs—from a Vermont gear shop in 2017, it was a game changer. I dubbed them my “adventure undies,” since they were the first pair I’d reach for when packing for every type of outing. On long hikes, multiweek canoe camping trips, and snowy mountain excursions, they beat...
Colorado-Released Wolf Killed by Federal Agency in Wyoming
  Just months after being released as part of Colorado’s high-profile wolf reintroduction program, one of the transplanted gray wolves was killed in Wyoming. Wildlife officials shot the animal after confirming it had attacked and killed livestock on private land.   The male wolf, which was fitted with a collar from Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW), was discovered near five dead sheep...
6 Subtle Signs You Need to Strengthen Your Core

Grit, Grace, and Gunpowder: The 2025 Wild Women’s Rendezvous
  If youve ever assumed the wilderness was strictly a mans world, consider yourself officially corrected. This June, Idaho’s rugged backcountry will host a crew of wilderness-savvy women wholl turn the idea of “ladies’ night” upside down, shake it hard, and toss it into the campfire.   I joined the Wild Womens Rendezvous in 2024, expecting just another outdoor retreat. Instead, I...
