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.

The Fjällräven Kånken 17″Laptop Pack Review: A Computer Bag Packed With History

Luna Middle Bear Sandals Review: Rise of the Do-It-All, Barefoot Hiking Sandal
  There was a time when overly cushioned athletic footwear reigned king (I’m looking at you, New Balance). In recent years, footwear trends have seen a shift toward barefoot designs. Out with overly padded, high-arched running and hiking shoes, and in with wide toeboxes, thin soles, and nonexistent arches. But Luna takes the barefoot hiking shoe one step further with its...
Shimano Pledges $10M to Support Mountain Bike Trails Globally
  Long before a pro cyclist shreds their way down a mountain, trail builders have spent hundreds of hours preparing the path. That work isnt cheap, either. In fact, creating trails for mountain biking can cost $10,000-45,000 per mile, according to Shimano.   The money pays not only for the materials, tools, and labor but also for costly environmental impact studies that...
