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.

Outdoor Adventure and the Art of Self Reliance, with Nick Offerman
  Ruggedness, dependability, and handiness define a lot of outdoor archetypes, from the ski patroller to the river guide to the park ranger. So why would you find all three in a famous actor? Maybe because the actor in question—Nick Offerman—is an avid outdoorsman in his own right. Surely you know Nick from one of his many memorable roles,  like Ron...
Yours for the Next Decade: Flylow Chemical Men’s Ski Pants Review
  My home mountain range outside of Vail, Colo., is notorious for challenging tree skiing due to pokey or fallen beetle-kill pines. I’m used to my ski outerwear torn and tattered by scraggly branches. But wearing the updated Flylow Chemical mens ski pants felt like leg armor. The burly main fabric and reinforced knees fended off sharp sticks and rocks. That...

Its innovating with its designs, striving for equal parts function and fashion. The brands latest release, the BN5000 goggle, is a prime example.   On October 7, Pit...
This Trail Trainer Changed How I Run: Craft Xplor Pro Review
  A light rain began just strides into my first test run in these road-to-trail shoes. I hadnt yet made it to the trails, and the sidewalks were already slick. I approached the corner of a city block, ready to make my usual shuffle step before a 90-degree turn at the end of the sidewalk. Yet, rather than feeling a little...

  Blasted with gusts of cold air and early April snow, we stared in awe as the glacier ski plane taxied down the Ruth Gorge and took off. Suddenly, we were alone.

Smith Vantage 2 MIPS Ski Helmet Review: Top Lid Gets Subtle Upgrades
  The cold wind gusts directly onto my face as I ride the Lenawee Mountain chairlift at Arapaho Basin. Feeling the bitter cold whip into the plentiful vents of the Smith Vantage 2 MIPS ski helmet reviewed here, I reach to the top of the lid and slide forward two small tabs. Instantly, the vents close, blocking the wind and warming...
