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.

Old West EDC With Modern Flair: Wheat State Cutlery ‘Peacemaker’ Review
  As I opened the box, I knew in an instant I was in for a treat. Nestled inside was a gorgeous leather zippered pouch. Lifting it out from the box, I saw a thin plastic bag with what looked to be stickers. Under that, I found a nifty coin embossed with Wheat State Cutlery’s logo.   Decorative bells and whistles like...
The Big SUV You Want to Take Off-Road: 2025 Ford Expedition TREMOR Review
  Never once have I said Im itching to go offroading in a Ford Expedition. But, that all changes now. I just drove the first-of-its-kind Expedition TREMOR on a muddy trail deep in the Indiana woods, and it far exceeded all expectations.   The 2025 Ford Expedition TREMOR is easily the most off-road-capable Expedition to ever roll out of a Ford factory....

Bury It, Winch It, Drive It Out: 2024 Can-Am Defender Max Limited Review
  When it comes to heavy-duty side-by-sides, there is a big difference between machines built for show and those built to work. The 2024 Can-Am Defender Max Limited earns its place in the workhorse category. It works hard, carries heavy loads, tows big trailers, and pushes through terrain that stops lesser machines. Its not flashy, and its certainly not delicate.   I...
The EDC Knife Capable Enough for the Hunt: Benchmade Taggedout G10
  If you’re going to invest in a premium hunting knife, you should consider its overall utility. If you can carry it to work and to the backcountry, you’ll stomach that initial sticker shock a bit better than you might a highly specialized knife.   This is especially true for hunters who need a rugged hunting knife but can’t justify spending a...
Exclusive Steel, Snappy Action: Microtech UTX-85 OTF Review
  I was 9 years old the first time I saw The Warriors. Admittedly, I was a bit young by today’s standards for that sort of film, but the early 1980s were a very different time. Not only was that movie my first look at (outlandishly Hollywood) inner-city turf wars, it was also the first time I remember seeing a switchblade....
Introducing the 1Up USA Moto Rack: Safe, Secure, and Bike Friendly
  Its rare to find a moto rack that accommodates bicycles, and almost unheard of to find a bike rack that accommodates motorbikes. Hauling both can be cumbersome, with bikes mounted on the car and the motorcycle towed on a trailer, meaning that often, people will choose between bringing one or the other on their adventures.   Enter the 1Up Moto Rack...
Sometimes Sequels Are Better: Big Idea Design’s Ti Pocket Knife II
  The world of knives continues to evolve and change to meet modern demands, inviting new designs and materials along the way. Perhaps coincidentally, a growing trend sees some great knives coming from brands that aren’t specifically knife manufacturers.   Where once customers only sought out and celebrated established knife brands, the industry now sees a movement toward brands that focus on...
Case Knife Celebrates Appalachian Trail Conservancy’s 100th Anniversary
  Thru-hikers and knife collectors take note: This pocketknife collaboration has a small run, and all proceeds support a good cause.   Case Knives collaborated with the Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC) to create a knife that honors the organization’s 100th anniversary. The Limited Edition A.T. Diamond Case Trapper Knife pays homage to the trail on its handle with the iconic A.T. diamond...
Meet the Latest Batch of Rick Hinderer Knives
  Tell someone a Rick Hinderer creation is your Grail knife, and they are more likely to ask which model rather than why.   Hinderer Knives are made in the United States and garner praise from enthusiasts for their durability and handfeel. Hand assembly means focusing on one knife at a time, ensuring each is tuned for the best quality and performance....
Art Deco EDC Knife: CRKT ‘Blackout’ Mbombo Review
  I avoid using the phrase functional art in my knife reviews because its unspecific and potentially misleading. But I am hard-pressed to classify designer Darriel Caston’s knives any other way. Everything he churns out is as wonderful to look at as it is to use.   In 2024, CRKT released both the Minimal X and the limited-edition Mbombo, both based off...
Beast of a Blade: Boker Plus Thicker Clipper Review
  As someone who has carried a knife with him since he was a kid, I have always struggled with the limitations of some knives. I recognize that knives are used for cutting and slicing. However, we’ve all got a bit of neanderthal in us, and sometimes you just want to chop and pry with a knife.   Recognizing that we’re all...
