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.

Winter Traction That Won’t Break the Bank: Hankook i*cept iZ3 Winter Tire Review
  Im not a fan of cheaping out on tires. Like shoes and camping mattresses, the things that go between you and the ground are crucial to having a good time (and avoiding the bad ones). Ive also learned the hard way that brands youve never heard of can be far costlier than the premium ones, even if theyre cheaper at...

Where Are the Black Yoga Studio Owners?
  It’s been several years since South Asian yoga practitioners opened a dialogue around what has become the status quo in yoga—its lack of color.   Although the numbers of those from traditionally marginalized communities who practice and teach yoga have been increasing, there remains considerable underrepresentation, particularly in the Black community.   According to Yoga Alliance’s recent survey published in November, Black...
Three Epic Cross-Country Road Trips to Start Planning Now
  No adventure compares to driving across the United States. I’ll never forget my first coast-to-coast drive. It was two friends and me, post college, in a beat-up Subaru loaded with everything I owned. We took the long way home, starting in the farmlands of Vermont and making out-of-the-way pitstops for hiking in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, dining at legendary...

I Built My Dream House in the Woods. My Neighbors Hate It.
  Dear Sundog: I’ve always been an environmentalist and lived as close to nature as possible. Years ago I was lucky enough to buy a parcel that borders on public land near a river. I’ve designed and built a dream house that allows me to feel like I’m a part of the natural surroundings. The house is not visible from the...
Kawasaki Launches Its First 4-Wheel Electric Vehicle, and It Is Not What We Expected
  Kawasaki is no stranger to producing all forms of internal combustion engines, powering anything from tiny 50cc dirt bikes for kids to massive 20-cylinder diesel marine engines larger than a bus. The NAV 4e is a distinct departure, solely powered by lithium-ion or lead-acid batteries.   Kawasaki labels the NAV 4e as a PTV, or personal transportation vehicle. It retains the...
The Trend of Hormone Balancing with Food Is Total B.S.
  In 2018, I convinced myself my hormones were out of whack. Acne and unusual tiredness are supposedly tell-tale signs that your hormone levels are off—I had both. So, I scheduled an appointment with my physician and asked him to test my hormone levels.   A quick blood draw revealed that my androgens, a group of hormones produced by the adrenal gland...
I Survived Downhill Skiing’s Rowdiest Party
  Stepping off the train in Kitzbühel, Austria, feels like entering hallowed ground: one of the most famous ski towns in the Alps, chartered in 1271 by Duke Ludwig II of Bavaria. I inhaled the crisp afternoon air and began a short walk to my accommodations, passing fur boutiques and high-end ski shops, medieval churches, and brightly lit, glassed-in hotel lobbies....
The Quest for a Women’s Sub-Four-Minute Mile Begins
  On May 29, 1954—just 23 days after Roger Bannister entered the history books as the world’s first sub-four-minute miler—a 21-year-old British woman named Diane Leather notched a similar milestone. At the Midland Counties championship meet in Birmingham, she ran 4:59.6 to become the first woman under five minutes. “Thank goodness that’s over,” she told reporters. “Now I can concentrate on...
Is Alpaca the New Merino?
  As a gearhead who mostly tests running shoes and apparel made for high-energy activities, I don’t often fire up about a sweater. But when I pulled on Paka’s  Original Sweater for the first time, I didn’t want to take it off.   I wore it while working at my desk. I wore it while walking my dog. I even ran about...
