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.

What Is Beef Tallow Actually Good For?
  The tradwives of TikTok have superhuman trend-setting abilities. Theyve revived 1950s-style fashion and have made whipping up complicated recipes and even everyday household goods from scratch—like cough syrup and Coca-Cola—cool again. Now, beef tallow is a staple in their skincare routines and on their plates.   Over the last month, TikTok has exploded with videos of people applying beef tallow as...
A Wide, Playful, Economic Splitboard: Korua Shapes Transition Finder Splitboard Review
  My first day riding the Korua Shapes Transition Finder splitboard was in a place that we call the Honey Hole. It has reliable coverage and predictable avalanche conditions, making it our go-to spot for early-season tours. The best part about this zone is that it is riddled with small rollers, gullies, and features that invite you to take a playful...
Wisconsin’s Ice Age Trail Is America’s Friendliest Thru-Hike
  The Green Bay Packers were suddenly not the most interesting entertainment option in Mac’s Pub and Grub, a dim dive packed with people wearing Packers gear on a Sunday afternoon in October in the lakeside Wisconsin town of Merrimac. Unfortunately for me, I was.   Midway through the first quarter, I had slipped inside Mac’s, found an unoccupied stool, and leaned against...

Why Taking a Long Training Break Is Good For You
  Thanks to a wonky hamstring and some bad oysters, I’m currently coming back from a training hiatus of nearly a month. It’s an unfamiliar and somewhat unsettling feeling. So I have a lot of sympathy for Romuald Lepers, a French physiologist and dedicated triathlete who, in the name of science, agreed to take 12 weeks completely off training in 2022....
The Ideal Professional Photographer Bag: Tenba DNA 16 PRO Messenger Bag Review
  One of the hardest parts about going to larger jobs like weddings and video shoots is the amount of gear you need to bring. I need at least a handful of lenses, my camera monitor, full-frame camera, tripod, water and snacks, and occasionally, my laptop and several cables.    I already have enough to keep track of and worry about. What...

Do-It-All Gravel Bike Gets an Adventure Makeover: Trek Checkpoint SL7 AXS Gen 3 Review
  Back in August, Trek expanded its gravel lineup with the launch of the all-new race-focused Checkmate and the redesigned Checkpoint SL Gen 3. While the media may have given the Checkmate the most launch coverage and attention at the time, it was the new Checkpoint that immediately caught my eye.   It’s easy to get caught up in the hype of...
