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.

Island-Hop Around Sweden on the Stockholm Archipelago Trail
  Sweden has 267,570 islands, by some counts more than any other nation in the world. They’re so ubiquitous that the Swedish word for island is one letter: ö (pronounced “uh”).

The 12 Best Bike Tours in the World
  In the age of Strava and Trailforks, I used to wonder why anyone would pay to join a bike tour. Why not just download the route and ride on your own?

Avoid Crowds in Utah’s National Parks With These Insider Secrets
  Dreams of exploring Utah’s spectacular red rock country quickly turn dystopic if you do it wrong. The tourist traps which you can easily fall into are as myriad as arches in Utah’s second most popular national park.

How Long Does it Take to Walk the Camino de Santiago? A Beginner’s Guide to This and More
  A smoking silver thurible swooped through the gothic arches overhead, richly scented incense pouring from its sides.

Lesser-Known Lake Escapes in the U.S.
  I wasn’t introduced to the pleasures of lake life until my early 30s. Born and raised on the Jersey Shore, I was ocean obsessed. If the water didn’t have waves and leave me salt-kissed, I wasn’t interested. When I moved to Colorado 15 years ago, I was gripped by land-locked panic and started road-tripping to any body of water I...
