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.

A Premium Cycling Helmet With Unmatched Airflow: Giro Aries Spherical Road Bike Helmet Review
  Ill be honest: I didnt expect a road bike helmet to change much about how I feel when I ride. Ive worn a number of helmets over the years, and they all do their job: keep my head intact. So when I clipped into the Giro Aries Spherical for the first time, I assumed it would check the same box....
Jim Morrison Becomes First to Ski Everest’s Deadly North Face: Watch His Run
  Everest has been skied and snowboarded, but past attempts have always been on the southern slope. On Oct. 15, world-renowned skier Jim Morrison flipped the script, though.   Instead of going the same route as everyone before him, Morrison decided to ski the infamously dangerous north face of the mountain. In the process, he bagged a first descent and entered the...
Feathered Friends Swallow UL 20 Sleeping Bag Review: Arctic-Proven, Premium Sleeping Bag Choice
  All of the trip reports I was reading told me I was foolish for bringing a down sleeping bag to Gates of the Arctic National Park. The entire park is a bog — good luck. Not to mention our intention to paddle down two rivers during the trip, packing away all of our insulation inside our boats for the ride....
Stable Super-Trainer With Race-Day Speed: HOKA Rocket X 3 Review
  With two kids under 3 and a full-time job, my training windows are short and precious. Most of my runs are 5 to 6 miles from the house, linking into a network of dirt and crushed-gravel roads that twist and roll through the foothills. Those runs tend to be fast — tempo and threshold efforts more often than not —...

No Frills, All Function: Marathon SSNAV-D Auto Arctic Edition Review
  For someone who’s not a pilot, I spend a lot of time in airplanes. And it just so happened that, while awaiting takeoff in Chicago, my phone buzzed with a press release from Marathon Watches.   The company’s popular Navigator line, the SSNAV Auto, had come to market with a new white-dialed, Arctic Edition. The photos showed what I’d come to...
Salmon Reclaim the Klamath: First Chinook Seen Above Dams in 100 Years
  This week, river watchers and tribal elders are quietly celebrating what was once thought improbable: Chinook salmon are making their way upstream in the Klamath River Basin for the first time in over a century.

Concealed-Carry Benchmade: Old-School ‘Successor’ Folder Adds New Twist
  It took a meeting with HR to figure it out. But Im now carrying Benchmades newest old-school knife, the Successor, in a unique fashion.   It took a pair of slightly tight pants to finally push me over the top. After a few weeks of carrying the very pretty Benchmade Successor inside a handsome sheath in my front pocket, I just...

The Fleece That Never Flinches: Patagonia R1 Thermal Hoody Review
  The wind cut across the valley, and snow hissed sideways as I clipped into my Nordic skis for one last lap. The temperature had dropped quickly, bringing a dry, biting cold that made breath freeze midair.   When I stopped to refuel, the cold hit hard. That’s when the Patagonia R1 Thermal came out of the pack. Within seconds of pulling...
