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 Just Like Standing on Summits. All Summits.
  My wife, Hilary, was essentially handing me a gift, and I didn’t know what to do with it: She was taking our toddler, Jay, to the Oregon coast for a week, and I was invited to not join them.   Meaning: I had a full week to do anything I wanted, for the first time since Jay was born 14 months...
Veteran Lands 700-Lb. Bear in First Louisiana Hunt in 35 Years

A Skier Is Suing Vail Resorts After a Patrol Strike Disrupted Operations at Park City
  It’s always a bummer when your vacation doesn’t go as planned. Still, a spoiled trip isn’t often cause for legal action. But for Christopher Bisaillon, a guest at Park City Mountain Resort in Utah over the holidays—where operations were disrupted as a result of the ski patrol union strike—the distance was just too great between the vacation he’d planned and...
How to Improve Your Belaytionship
  My whole perspective on “belaytionships” (and how to improve them) changed when a friend referred to the task as a “sacred duty.” It’s common to view our turn on the ground as nothing more than filler time between pitches, or worse: a burden that we must bear in exchange for the joys of climbing. But belaying is more than just...
Saving Shames: In ‘Heart of a Mountain,’ a Community Rallies Around Its Local Ski Hill
  Mom-and-pop ski areas seem to be getting scarcer by the year. Maintaining the high cost of operation is tough, especially for small business owners who dont have a corporate bankroll.   In many cases, like at Shames Mountain Ski Area, it eventually becomes too much for the owners to uphold. Without some kind of saving grace, in 2008, this local Canadian...
I Tried the Viral Sea Moss Smoothie. It Wasn’t Worth the $20.
  A few months ago, I went to Los Angeles for a long weekend with my friend Becca to visit her relatives and soak in some sunshine. We both live in Bozeman, Montana and wanted to take a quick break in balmy southern California during the long, frigid northern winter.   Los Angeles tends to be at the vanguard of any health...

Conquer Icy Trails with These Favorite Slip-On Spikes for Running Shoes
  In the foothills of Colorado, winter creates a wide range of (sometimes dangerous) running conditions. The one I like to avoid the most is the indoor treadmill. I’m an outdoor animal. Like my yellow lab, Lulu, I sleep and lounge indoors but need to breathe fresh air, run on a natural surface, and be among the trees to ensure consistent...
The Hottest Trend in Knives: Everything You Need to Know About Pocket Fixed Blades

Bringing the Right Traction Could Save Your Winter Hike—or Your Life
  Next to not bringing enough warm enough layers and forgetting to check the weather, hitting the trail without appropriate traction is among the most common and dangerous mistakes that hikers make in the winter.
