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.

Fanny Packs and Flow Tracks: Mountain Bike Hip Pack Showdown
  I waited way too long to succumb to mountain bike hip packs. For years, I hoped the fanny pack fad would fade. Coming from a downhill racing background, I shunned any pack at all costs. I’d strap everything to my bike and stuff my pockets with tools and snacks.   Id do anything to avoid something bouncing around on my back...
Not Your Typical Flannel: The Stio Hutkeeper Shirt Review
  This heavyweight womens flannel has all the details you’d hope a flannel jacket would have. I said what I said. The Stio Womens Hutkeeper Flannel Shirt is a true shacket.   The Hutkeeper is soft and durable, comes in a few color choices, and is made with organic cotton. The shirt also has pockets!   While the silhouette looks good, the build...
From Skiing to Hiking, One Shell for All Seasons: BEYOND Clothing Drilight Rain Jacket Review
  Despite the closet full of ski jackets, touring shells, rain jackets, anoraks, windbreakers, and all the other outerwear I use across seasons and sports, I find the idea of just one jacket for everything all year round alluring.   Think of Indiana Jones classic leather bomber — you never saw him swapping jackets for better waterproofing or different ventilation options.   Thats...
The Best Headlight Restoration Kits of 2024
  Over time, a cars headlights go from crystal clear to cloudy due to age and prolonged exposure to the suns damaging UV rays. Notably, this degradation decreases the headlight output and affects a drivers visibility at night.   As headlights age, the yellow and fogginess will affect how much light is projected onto the road. The result can degrade visibility for...
The Best Fishing Hats of 2024
  The right fishing hat is a critical piece of gear for a successful day out on the water. While a ball cap might have sufficed in the past, your fishing experience will be better with the sun, wind, and rain protection only a quality fishing hat can provide. That doesn’t mean you have to ditch the familiar ball cap, as...
2025 Subaru Forester Review: Full Redesign Better On Road and Off, but Needs More Power
  Subaru doesnt really do new very often. Its not that the company doesnt completely redesign, restyle, and re-engineer its vehicles. Its that those changes are hidden under nearly identical wrappers.   The latest Forester is another example of that. The 2025 Subaru Forester shares nothing at all with the previous generation, but if you had told me it was just a...

The 5 Best National Park Road Trips in the U.S.
  Here’s the dream: Quit your job and hit all 64 national parks in one huge multi-month road trip where you live mostly in a van and finally see all of these iconic landscapes for yourself. To call that dream unrealistic is an understatement, at least for me, for a variety of reasons (see “quit job,” above), though it’s been accomplished...
The Easiest Way to Stay Sun-Safe Outside
  Greasy, sunscreen-coated skin is a discomfort for many outdoor enthusiasts. The oily lotion on your hands makes it hard to grip rock, and the layer spread onto your arms and legs becomes a grit and dust magnet on hiking trails. But the sun doesn’t care what your plans are. If you don’t protect your skin while recreating outside, you’ll pay...
The Best Beach Chairs of 2024
  A perfect day at the beach requires a few important items, one of which is a beach chair, which provides the ultimate spot to sit back and relax. The best beach chairs are portable, easy to unfold and repack, and are comfortable perches on which to catch some rays, read a book, or spend time with friends and family.   Beach...
Don’t Get Diarrhea: How to Keep Water Clean While Camping
  I just got back from a three-month trip down Mexico’s Baja peninsula. The region isn’t exactly known for known for its drinking water, but I didn’t have any issues while camping, and didn’t have to put much effort at all into sourcing clean water. And that’s thanks to a combination of three products designed by my friend—and prolific outdoor product...
