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.

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.

The Hunt for Sound: How Over-the-Counter Hearing Aids Brought the Outdoors Back to Life
  I used to hear everything: the crunch of boots on frosted grass; the unlimited hum of billions of little wings; the flick of a mule deer’s tail as it vanished into the brush; the smallest disruption in the flow of stream water.   I didn’t think much about it then. Hell, I didn’t think at all.   I shot guns without ear...

These 10 Places Have the Darkest Skies in the U.S. for Stargazing
  First it was the moon, then it was cloudy, then it rained. I’d been waiting five days for the Oregon skies to light up.

Auriga was already rising in the west, with its brightest star, Capella, gleaming against the black. Leo was directly...

The Best Hunting Arrows of 2025
