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.

A Beginner’s Guide to Watch Straps
  I was talking with a friend about his watch a few years ago when I was fairly new to the hobby of watch collecting. It had been a gift from his wife for their wedding back in 2017 and he wore it every day. The original leather strap had become worn and a bit cracked in some places near the...

But you know what? Merrell still makes...
An Ultralight Tent Without the Ultralight Tradeoffs: NEMO Hornet OSMO 3P Tent Review
  My climbing partner and I leaned back against a makeshift rock windbreak, looking out over the southern Gore Range just above treeline. We nervously monitored a deep black wall of cloud creeping toward us from the south, drenching and engulfing everything in its path in darkness.   It started with a burst of heavy hail. That sent us diving into the...
Workhorse Softshell Ski Pants: Outdoor Research Cirque III Review
  I came underprepared for an annual hut trip to Southern Colorado. Five years in a row, our group had enjoyed alpine starts, clear skies, and the massive sun-baked faces and couloirs of some of the states most impressive peaks. Spring skiing paradise.   But this year was different. It had been dumping snow and the winds whipped prior to the trip....
2025 Volvo EX90 Twin Motor Performance Is a Worthy All-Electric Flagship
  The 2025 Volvo EX90 is set to become the brand’s all-electric flagship, ushering in what the automaker describes as a “new era” that will, sometime around decade’s end, see it shift completely to battery-electric vehicles.   To get a better sense of what direction the Swedish-based, Chinese-owned automaker is taking, I spent a couple of days along the Southern California coast...

A Different Kind of Recyclable Carbon Bike Wheel: HUNT H_Cyclo
  Recyclable carbon wheels have been around for a few years. However, until HUNTs H-Cyclo, they differed in construction and physical properties relative to traditional carbon bicycle wheels, frames, and forks.
