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.

The GlasWerks Elevato Is the V12 Off-Roader Ferrari Is Too Scared to Make

Gucci Launches Technical Ski Gear With New ‘Altitude’ Line
  The original version of this article was published on The Inertia.   Luxury fashion brands dipping into the world of outdoor sports is nothing new. Most of the time, they come in the form of collaborations between an endemic brand. Its usually a surfboard maker and a luxury brand, or a snowboard brand and a world-class designer label. The list goes...
Osprey, Houdini Collab on Do-Everything, Recyclable Alpine Pack
  Theres an assumption people make about outdoor gear that prioritizes circularity and sustainability. Many people expect to sacrifice durability and performance in exchange for these greener designs.   Osprey and Houdini wanted to change that. So this season, the two brands teamed up to design a line of four-season technical packs, dialed for backcountry skiing, climbing, hiking, and other outdoor activities....
Digital Smartwatch in Analog Clothing: Garmin Instinct Crossover AMOLED Review
  A small, seemingly innocuous update is sometimes all a piece of gear needs to become a near-perfect design. For example, Fenixs PD36R ACE is now near perfection just by adding USB-C charging. Turtlebox did the same thing with waterproof speakers, just by taking its flagship design and shrinking it down to the Ranger.   With the Garmin Instinct Crossover AMOLED, the...
Backpacking Stove Is Best of Both Worlds: MSR Switch Review
  Backpacking stoves are one of my favorite things to write about because I covet them. I first started using an MSR Dragonfly when I was 15 years old. Around 17, wanting to get away from liquid gas, I switched to an MSR Pocket Rocket, which used gas canisters. Then, at 20, my girlfriend gave me the original Jetboil stove system,...
The Roller Bag That Made Me Retire My Airline Bow Case: KUIU Waypoint 10000 Review
  Flying with archery gear usually means dragging a giant bow case, a stuffed duffel, and a credit card for oversize fees. I wanted to see if I could skip that circus. So I packed the KUIU Waypoint 10000 Roller with everything I needed for multiple hunts.   I loaded it with my compound bow, longbow, arrows, broadheads, releases, tools, boots, layers,...
Patio-Sized Vestibule With Stand-Up Ceiling Height: Big Agnes Bunk House Review
  Why not make your car camping trip luxurious? For a backpacker like me, squeezing into a small space was just part of the deal when it came to camping. But growing your family can also mean growing your expectations for what adventure looks like. Spreading out and taking space is necessary for us these days, and the Big Agnes Bunk...
Viral Aussie Gumboots Are Worth the Hype: Merry People Tully Ankle Rain Boot Review
  I booked a 2-week trip to Iceland in September, knowing the weather might be rainy and unpredictable. Still, I hadn’t anticipated the amount of cold and muck that such conditions create in that part of the world. Thankfully, I’d packed my Merry People Tully Ankle Rain Boots.   Whether I was traipsing through puddles at a campsite, enduring a brief sunshower...
Small Enough for Your Keys, Tough Enough for Your Day: Victorinox Mini Champ Review
  Multitools always make their presence known in my pocket, reminding me that they are in there. While something like the mid-sized Leatherman Skeletool CX doesn’t take up too much real estate, I am constantly aware of it. That’s fine when I’m working around the yard, but when I’m walking around the city, I want something that completely disappears in my...
Watch: Faced With a Gene Mutation, Ultrarunner Chases FKTs
  I would recommend keeping some tissues handy for this one. The documentary Ofrenda follows endurance athlete Sara Aranda as she attempts to set the first female record for one of the most brutal stretches of terrain in the United States.   But its Arandas emotional battle — and the heart-wrenching poetry that accompanies it — that makes this short film so compelling.   To...
GORE-TEX Invisible Fit: Not Your Grandparents’ Waterproof Shoes
  Waterproof footwear has been around since the mid-19th century. Breathable, lightweight, waterproof footwear? Well, that’s another story. When GORE-TEX Brand first entered the boot scene in the 1980s, the brand’s waterproof technology was a massive leap forward from the wellies and gumboots of the day. Finally, boots made with GORE-TEX Technology offered a breathable option for keeping feet dry outdoors....
