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.

2025 Ford F-150 Lobo Is Not a Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing
  Fords lone wolf now has a friend. The Lobo street truck badge, which was first used in the U.S. earlier this year on the Maverick, is now available on the F-150. But instead of a mean-looking lowered truck with a new suspension and a special drift mode, the Ford F-150 Lobo is a bit of a disappointment.   Ford Is Repurposing...

Plaid That Performs: Pladra Workhorse Wool Flannel Review
  This spring, I brought a stack of flannels to wear around the chalet on a ski trip to the Alps. We were visiting a lodge on the French-Italian border for some après-heavy backcountry skiing: Plaid shirts, warm fires, morning coffee in tiny cups — that type of stuff. The days were crisp, and the mountains were calling.   Ive never worn...

  The most expensive version of Fords trio of Raptors just got a massive price cut. Ford has trimmed $10,000 from the MSRP of the Bronco Raptor. But its still hard to call it a deal. And, the Braptors lower price steps on one of the coolest other models in the Bronco corral.   Bronco Raptor Pricing Has Bucked Like Its Namesake...
Rustproof, No-Steel Knife: Terrain 365 Narwhal-AT Review
  Few things can ruin a good knife. The two that do are human error and rust. The human aspect can be eliminated with a little coaching. Rust, however, never sleeps. It creeps into corners and crevices and can ruin a knife quickly. If you take care of your knife, making sure to clean it properly, you can keep rust and...

Senate GOP Wants to Sell 3 Million Acres of Public Land: ‘Gravest Threat’
  Two weeks ago, House Republicans removed a controversial budget provision to sell half a million acres of public lands. The outdoor recreation industry, including national organizations and heavyweight brands like Patagonia and The North Face, helped raise a chorus of protest against the unprecedented move to sell off federal land used by hikers, mountain bikers, climbers, and paddlers.   For many...

Cyberpunk Two-Wheel Transporter: Meet the Infinite Machine Olto
  If you slowly whittled down a Tesla Cybertruck into an e-bike, I imagine it would look something like this. Of course, I doubt the brand behind this innovative take on an electric bicycle would appreciate the comparison, given the political climate.   Regardless, the Olto looks different for a reason: Its not quite like any e-bike/e-moped that has come before. Created...
