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.

10-Lb. Canoe Carries 800 Lbs., Fits in Your Pack: Alpacka Raft Rendezvous Review
  After struggling against a headwind for the better part of an hour, I had some flagging confidence in our inflatable canoe. The concept was good — great, even — but facing a persistent wind in your larger-than-average rubber duck will make anyone question whether the trade was worth it. My doubt was short-lived, however.   Later that day, we met another...
What’s the Best Time to Drink a Protein Shake?
  Protein shakes have exploded in popularity. Per a 2023 journal article, the market value for protein supplements (which includes ready-to-drink shakes, powders, gummies, and bars) is expected to hit $10.8 billion in 2030. Despite their high demand, it can be challenging to know the best time of day to drink a protein shake.   If you’re planning to have one, it’s...

The Best Field Watches of 2024
  Field watches are, for good reason, among the most popular styles of watches, especially for outdoor enthusiasts. They trace their roots back to military necessity. That mother of invention led to a style of watches that can be both understated and luxurious, refined and utilitarian.   I love field watches. Among my collection, field watches are the timepieces that often accompany...
Honda Prelude Returns to America, Gets Hybrid Powertrain
  Honda is building a sports car once again. The Japanese car company has just confirmed that it will be building a new generation of the Prelude and that the car will be coming to the U.S.   Its the first Honda coupe in 5 years, and it marks the return of a nameplate that we have been missing for more than...
2025 Aston Martin Vantage Review: Great Expectations, Even Better in the Flesh
  A more compact footprint sufficiently differentiates the Vantage from the larger DB12 grand tourer and Vanquish flagship. Both those stellar models serve their purpose, but the smallest Aston in the lineup caters to driving enthusiasts with a dynamic and nimble chassis.   That chassis now houses a twin-turbo AMG V8 massaged by Aston to pump out an unbelievable 656 horsepower and...

GearJunkie Goes Full Suspension on the Slopes: ShredShox First Look Review
  I stood on the edge of the catwalk, looking down at the moguls below me. I bounced experimentally on the air shocks beneath my feet, which compressed slightly under my weight. This was my third run with the ShredShox platform system, and I was just starting to get a feel for it.   It wasnt throwing my skiing off — as I...
First Look: Suunto Wing and Sonic Headphones

You can still enjoy music or podcasts while staying in tune with your surroundings—you just need the right headphones....
Who’s Got It Worse, Ass-Pens or J-Holes?
  Outside spends a lot of time ranking the best mountain towns in the country, but which one is the worst? Is Aspen’s conspicuous wealth worse than Jackson Hole’s false modesty? How many billionaires does it take to ruin a local economy? Is there any hope for the ski-bum lifestyle? Paddy O’Connell and Frederick “Rico” Reimers bring us a debate you...
What It’s Really Like to Buy a 1 Euro Home in Italy
  What if we told you you could buy a home in a quaint Italian village for less than the price of a cappuccino? The fine print, of course, is that the house you’ll get will essentially be a collapsed set of walls. It will need major construction to be livable, and it’ll take much longer than you’d expect (read: years,...
The Weird Foothill Guy Believes His Style of Skiing Is Better than a Day at the Resort. We Tried It Out.
  Whump! My face plant is sudden, a cartwheel of flying ski poles and curse words into powder. The sting of snow on bare skin jolts my eyes open, and I hear a chorus of woo! erupt lower on the slope.   “Yeah, Fred!” a voice bellows. “You were a little too far forward—remember to keep your weight back.”   I brush myself...
