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.

Sometimes Sequels Are Better: Big Idea Design’s Ti Pocket Knife II
  The world of knives continues to evolve and change to meet modern demands, inviting new designs and materials along the way. Perhaps coincidentally, a growing trend sees some great knives coming from brands that aren’t specifically knife manufacturers.   Where once customers only sought out and celebrated established knife brands, the industry now sees a movement toward brands that focus on...
The EDC Knife Capable Enough for the Hunt: Benchmade Taggedout G10
  If you’re going to invest in a premium hunting knife, you should consider its overall utility. If you can carry it to work and to the backcountry, you’ll stomach that initial sticker shock a bit better than you might a highly specialized knife.   This is especially true for hunters who need a rugged hunting knife but can’t justify spending a...
Bantamweight Boots for Nimble Hikes: The North Face Offtrail LT Mid Review
  I felt light on my feet as I ascended the Rainbow Trail toward Methodist Mountain. On my left, spectacular views of Mount Ouray and Pahlone Peak caught my eye whenever I stopped. But as I hiked, I only focused on what was beneath my feet: rocks, branches, loose granite gravel, and lodgepole roots. I found myself jogging the flats and...

Case Knives collaborated with the Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC) to create a knife that honors the organization’s 100th anniversary. The Limited Edition A.T. Diamond Case Trapper Knife pays homage to the trail on its handle with the iconic A.T. diamond...
KUIU HD Mud Boots Handle Tough Terrain With Surprising Support
  When you’re covering serious miles in unpredictable terrain, your boots aren’t just footwear; they’re gear. And like any gear, they must perform, hold up over time, and keep you comfortable.   I wore the KUIU HD Mud Boots through an entire hunting season in Montana, putting them to the test across creeks, rocky ridgelines, deep snow, and muddy fields. After more...
Montana National Guard Investigates Alleged Unauthorized Blackhawk Helicopter Landing, Antler Theft
  Witnesses report a Montana Army National Guard UH-60L Blackhawk helicopter landed without prior notice on private property in the Crazy Mountains near Melville, Mont., on May 4, 2025.

Beast of a Blade: Boker Plus Thicker Clipper Review
  As someone who has carried a knife with him since he was a kid, I have always struggled with the limitations of some knives. I recognize that knives are used for cutting and slicing. However, we’ve all got a bit of neanderthal in us, and sometimes you just want to chop and pry with a knife.   Recognizing that we’re all...
Barnes Harvest Collection: Affordable Ammo That Hits Where It Counts
  Ammo prices keep climbing. Thankfully, a few manufacturers are still making reasonably priced rounds for everyday hunters chasing everyday game. The Harvest Collection is one of them.   Barnes and Sierra teamed up to create a new line of ammo aimed squarely at whitetail hunters called the Harvest Collection. While the branding sounds like something you might find in the pumpkin...

The changes apply to areas in Alabama, California, Idaho, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, North Carolina, Texas, and Washington.

Under Armour Outpaces Nike at Boston Marathon: The Shoes That Helped Sharon Lokedi Set Course Record
  The Boston Marathon isn’t a record-chasing course. It’s tactical, uneven, and often at the mercy of New England spring weather. Here, the win matters more than the clock. So, while no one expected Kelvin Kiptum’s 2:00:35 world record or Ruth Chepngetich’s 2:09:56 mark to fall, few would’ve guessed that a lesser-known brand in pro road racing — Under Armour —...
Go Light, Tread Hard: Crispi Lapponia III Hunting Boots Review
  It never fails to snow a solid 8 inches the night before my first day of turkey hunting in Colorado. As usual, 2025 delivered a heavy blanket of snow to my turkey camp, not the conditions Id expected for testing the uninsulated, lightweight Crispi Lapponia III hunting boot.   But there I was, awake in the dark at the tail end...
