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.

I Let a Headband Hack My Brain for Better Sleep (I Think It Worked): ‘Elemind’ Sleep Headband Review
  If I’d seen this thing a few years ago, I’d have laughed. A headband that listens to your brain and uses your brainwaves to nudge you toward sleep sounds like a plot point from a bad sci-fi movie.   Good sleep fixes more than good coffee ever could. It sharpens focus, speeds recovery, and makes long days in the field or...
Emergency Medical Device Chip Info Without Cell Service, Batteries, or Subscription
  Skiers, cyclists, climbers, and backpackers often carry satellite communication devices. But those useful emergency devices are still only one piece of the puzzle when it comes to staying safe in the backcountry. If you send out an SOS message and first responders reach you, theyll need to know your medical history, allergies, and prescriptions.   Thats where the new KOPILOT.ID ($40)...
A Backcountry Ski That Feels at Home Inbounds: Blizzard Zero G 96 Review
  There are plenty of frontside skis I’d take into the backcountry because even if they’re a bit heavy on the climb, they’re worth it for the downhill. The reverse has never been true for me. I cant think of any backcountry-specific skis that really hold up against inbounds-focused skis when it comes to lift-served terrain.   On most days when I...
No Fireworks? No Problem. Alaskans Celebrate Fourth of July by Launching Cars Off a Cliff
  For years, Alaskans have been gathering on the Fourth of July for a unique and destructive tradition known as the Glacier View Car Launch. While most towns and cities in America celebrate the holiday with fireworks displays, local bans on pyrotechnics make it illegal throughout much of the state. The alternative? Launching junkyard vehicles off a 300-foot cliff into an...
Last Chance: Buy Your 2025-2026 Epic Pass or Forever Hold Your Peace
  Ski season is here, the resorts are opening, and if you haven’t bought a season pass yet, your time is running out — at least, for the Epic Pass. Vail Resorts announced that on Nov. 16, the Epic Pass will be pulled from sale. That leaves any prospective (procrastinator) buyers less than 1 week to pull the trigger.   So far, among Vail’s...

  For a limited time this week, you wont have to travel to Alaska or Iceland to see the Aurora Borealis, aka the Northern Lights. Residents across a swath of the U.S. will have the chance to see the enchanting phenomenon tonight.   Heres what you need to know.   What Are the Northern Lights?

Quicker and Much More Fuel Efficient for Just $2K: 2026 Hyundai Palisade Hybrid Review
  Once I come to a complete stop on a barren straight patch of Texas highway, the engine automatically shuts off. Undeterred, I hold the brake with my left foot and bury the accelerator with my right foot. Nothing happens. That is, until I lift my left foot from the brake.   In the blink of an eye, the engine kicks on...
Trump Issues First Pardon for Cutting a Switchback: Michelino Sunseri Saga Reaches Surprise End
  After more than a year of controversy and court battles, the Michelino Sunseri saga has taken a surprising turn. On Nov. 10, President Donald J. Trump pardoned the ultra-athlete, who in September 2024 was charged with cutting a switchback in Grand Teton National Park (GTNP) during a Fastest Known Time (FKT) attempt.   Sunseri was subsequently found guilty in September 2025...
SEMA 2025 Best in Show: The Automotive Gear That Stood Out
  Every year, I scour the annual SEMA Show to find the best new vehicles and products on display. The 2025 show had some highlights, but was thin on innovation and truly new products worth talking about.   There is little doubt that the pandemic, supply chain issues, tariffs, and economic uncertainties have impacted the automotive aftermarket. Business consolidation remains a prevailing...
A Jacket for Every Hunt, A Price You’ll Like: Kings Camo XKG Pinnacle Jacket Review
  The sharp blaring of my iPhone alarm snapped me awake at 4:45 a.m. I reached my hand out of the sleeping bag to shut the dang thing off, and quickly realized that the next few minutes were not going to be fun. It was easily below 15 degrees, and my hand was stinging within a few short seconds of being...
Lightweight Support for Epic Trails: Salewa Launches Its All-New Pedroc 2 Powertex Shoe
  Avid hikers know that it takes a special kind of shoe to hit that elusive sweet spot between heavy (but supportive) hiking boots and ultralight (but squishy) trail runners. For trail trekkers who want the best of both worlds, look no further — Salewa’s new Pedroc 2 Powertex (Mens Womens) is a nimble hiking shoe that’s light and stable enough...
