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.

  Stakes and poles sold separately.

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.

Patagonia Launches ‘Parenting: Disaster Style’ Short Film Series: Watch the First Episode
  Zoe Hart and her husband, Maxime Turgeon, have endured a lot since they met. The two alpinists have summited extremely tall and technical peaks, spent long, cold nights on the sides of mountain cliffs, and traveled the world in search of alpine adventure. For a long time, theyve practiced what they jokingly call disaster style alpinism.   Now, theyre learning disaster-style...
Forgiving, Tough, and Fun Down Whitewater: Glide Lochsa 3.0 SUP Review
  Sometimes, you end up having a much tougher day on the water than you anticipated. Thats what happened to me in March, when I returned to my favorite section of the Chattahoochee River to test the Glide Lochsa Whitewater SUP 3.0 against some Class II-III whitewater.   Unfortunately, I made a classic rookie mistake — I neglected to check the water...
Part Pack, Part Vest for Fast Alpine Travel: Millet Trilogy Sky 25+ Backpack Review
  We started from the trailhead just before sunrise — headlamps on, moving at a power-hike pace toward a spring ski objective deep in Colorado’s alpine. Within an hour, the skis and skins were deployed, but the pace couldn’t let up.   Now in the alpine, we transitioned back to boots. I slid my skis into the loops of Millet’s new Trilogy...
Video: This Puffy Jacket Made Mount Everest Base Camp Feel Like Home
  Conditions can be inhospitable at the foot of Mount Everest. Swirling winds blow snow and debris, overnight temperatures drop below zero degrees Fahrenheit, and the midday sun will burn uncovered skin and gear.   Our Everest correspondent, Ben Ayers, recently spent a month living at the Mount Everest Base Camp. During that time, Ayers tested a long list of gear, from...
Feast for the Eyes: ‘Astonishing’ Images From 2025 Pacific Crest Trail Photo Contest
  Photo contests are about much more than recognizing talented shutterbugs. These celebrations of the medium can force us to slow down and take a moment to truly appreciate what were looking at.   The social media platforms we all use —the ones filled with more jaw-dropping images than a Life magazine retrospective —are still more known for doomscrolling than for quiet...
Light-Up Mountain Lamp, Gold SEAL Watch, Hunt-Inspired Sandals, and More Emerging Gear
  It wasnt intentional, but we ended up with a technology-heavy roster of new products this week. Perhaps thats no accident, given that even our outdoor lives look increasingly like an away mission from a Star Trek episode.   That means outdoor creatives will find plenty to interest them, however, including durable new packs for photographers, tough charging cables, and recycled cases...
New Ram Truck Warranty Offers Coverage Twice as Long as the Competition
  Ram has just announced one of the longest warranties in the business. The big news for Rams half-ton pickups this year was going to be the return of the 5.7L Hemi V8. But now the truck and van builder has outdone itself, adding a new 10-year warranty to help make sure that the Hemi stays in your driveway for a...
This Pair of Sleep Headphones Helps You Sleep Comfortably
  I was at the gym, listening to Tim Ferriss’ Tribe of Mentors: Short Life Advice From the Best in the World, when an interviewee mentioned that a pair of sleep headphones had transformed their once-wakeful nights. A lifelong insomniac, I immediately set down my dumbbells, grabbed my phone, and placed an order.   A week later, my AcousticSheep SleepPhones arrived.   (TL;DR:...
This Rod Won’t Teach You to Fish, But It’ll Do Everything Else: Fenwick Elite Bass Casting Rod Review
  I immediately knew it was a big’ ol bass when I felt a light bump and set the hook. My assumption was confirmed when the largemouth launched out of the water, trying to shake the jig I had just lodged in its mouth with my Fenwick Elite Bass casting rod loose. “Oh gosh, that’s gotta be a 4- or 5-pounder,”...
My Favorite Running Gear for When It’s Hot as Hell Outside
  Like many runners, each evening I tell myself that I’m going to wake up at 5 a.m., get out the door at 6, and be home by 7. But more often I sleep through my alarm, or have to deal with an early-morning kiddo problem, and end up running midday. And by high noon, my hometown of Albuquerque, New Mexico,...
Outdoorspeople Are Obsessed With the Summer Solstice. This is Why.
  Growing up in suburban North Atlanta, the only time I ever heard about the solstice was during the astronomy segment of science class. It wasn’t until I moved out West that I learned it’s basically the unofficial national holiday of the outdoors.   “What are you doing for the solstice?” a friend asked me the first year I lived in Colorado....
