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.

Cushioned Confidence for the Long Haul: Saucony Xodus Ultra 4 Women’s Trail Running Shoe
  Trail runners have plenty of cushioned options these days, but few manage to feel protective and versatile without tipping towards clunky. The Saucony Xodus Ultra 4 womens trail running shoe strikes that balance, pairing plush underfoot comfort with tacky traction and stability that can handle just about any mountain trail.   I tested the Xodus Ultra 4 for about 2 months...
A Compact, Rechargeable Pump That Actually Works: AIRBANK Pulse Pro Review
  One of my biggest frustrations with fishing from an inflatable kayak or paddleboard is the time and energy it takes to inflate them before hitting the water.   I’ve always been disappointed with the hand pumps that come with the inflatable SUPs and kayaks I’ve tested over the years. I’m already sweating thanks to the full-body workout I had to complete...

The Evolution of EVs Through a Nissan Leaf Lens
  The 2011 Nissan Leaf debuted with a 24kWh battery and 73 miles of range. Its steeply sloped, stumpy nose with bugeye headlights and a bulbous hatchback body offered folks an entry into the modern battery electric world from a mainstream Japanese manufacturer.   Tesla aside, many automakers took a similar approach, offering small, efficient, and limited-range electric cars. But unlike most...
What You Learn Running Toward, Rather Than Away, From a Tornado, With Pecos Hank
  Spend time outdoors, and you’ll eventually spend time in brutal, even scary weather. Dangerous winds, flash flood-inducing rain, and vision-erasing whiteouts are sometimes the cost of entry. By the same token, you’re as likely to remember the upsides to those experience—the belly laughter of relief, the rainbows after the rain, the waist deep powder—as the scary parts. Hank Schyma, aka...
