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.

Off-Roading With Italian Flair: Pirelli Scorpion XTM Revew
  If a tire makes you happy, were happy. Its a simple sentiment, but its one I like. Its not limited to Pirellis on-track performance tires, and the companys exec says it applies to even its boring road car tires. And, of course, its latest, the Pirelli Scorpion XTM, is the first tire meant for buyers who plan on spending a...
Automakers Scramble to Respond to Trump’s Tariff War
  While the new trade sanctions are expected to add thousands to the cost of the typical new vehicle, even those assembled in the U.S., some manufacturers promise to hold the line on prices — for now.   On Friday, Hyundai launched a new “Customer Assurance” program that aims to soothe consumer fears about the potential impact of the new Trump tariffs on...
Shoes That Help Muscles Recover: Roll Recovery SUPERPLUSH Classic Review
  It’s not that I don’t believe the research showing that exercising consistently without recovery time can lead to decreased strength gains and possibly injury. It’s just that finding the time to take these breaks is hard. Needless to say, when a product that promised multitasking recovery benefits rolled across my desk, I was intrigued, especially since it came from a...
The E-Bike of the Seas: Old Town Ocean Kayak Malibu ePDL+ 120 Review
  “So, is it really kayaking, then?” A small crowd had gathered around the dock to inspect the Old Town Ocean Kayak Malibu ePDL+, the first recreational kayak to incorporate an electric pedal drive. I’m not sure they were immediately sold.   The neo-Luddite in me was steadfast: of course not. But, softening, I reconsidered. Yes, of course. Maybe? The Malibu is...
Kayak Turkey Hunting: Gear Up, Rig Right, Tag Out
  Most turkey hunters overlook one of the most effective tools: the kayak. When properly rigged, a kayak becomes your stealthy, silent partner, getting you closer to wary gobblers, accessing untouched terrain, and helping you outpace other hunters. A smart kayak setup doesnt just boost your odds; it transforms your entire turkey hunting experience.   My a-ha moment came early one spring...
The 19 Funniest Mountain Project Comments on Yosemite Routes
  Sometimes, we go to Mountain Project for the beta. But sometimes, we go for the chat. And sometimes, the chat is funny. We’ve seen brawls break out over bolts and grades. Stoke-spangled reviews—and ho-hum appraisals of testpieces. Crusty cameos. Sketchy ethics. And non-sequiturs that add to the lore of the classics.   Here are 19 of the funniest Mountain Project comments...
Segway? Seg-Wow! ‘Xyber’ Puts Eye-Popping Spin on E-Bikes
  Forget everything you think you know about Segway … and e-bikes for that matter. The brand that invented an entirely new category of personal transportation at the turn of millennium has turned its attention from industry-defining mobility ideas to industry-disrupting innovations.   Launched in 2024, the Segway Xyber presents a wild take on the typical e-bike design, appealing more to the thrill...
How to Pack for Air Travel Like the Ultimate Pro
  It’s fun to imagine an apocalyptic scenario, and purchase the kind of neon green tomahawk you think will help you defeat zombie hoards. (Spoiler alert: it won’t.) But when it comes to preparing for more likely situations—say, an emergency while traveling—many of us are guilty of being caught flat-footed.   I get it. With severely limited space in carry-on luggage, plus...
Better Than the Fan-Favorite Original: Tecnica Zero G Tour Pro Boot Review
  You’re lucky if you show up to a foot or more of blower powder, blanketing the jagged peaks and tumbling glaciers around Chamonix. So I didn’t squander the opportunity. I pushed my jet-lagged body into the backcountry to bounce and slice through the powder lap after lap, stopping only to gape at my surroundings.    But even in this Eden of...
Hiking with Your Dog? Watch Out for These Dangerous Plants
  While hiking a snowy mesa in Flagstaff, Arizona, I noticed my dog was limping. Every few steps, she’d tuck up her back paw and hop on three legs. We stopped, and I knelt to inspect. There, piercing her paw pad, was a long cactus spine. Gently, I held her paw and pulled it straight out. I hadn’t noticed the hazard...
Perfect E-Motorcycle for Commutes and Light Off-Road Jaunts: Zero FX Dual Sport Review
  Dual-sport motorcycles are all about versatility. They’re fun on the street and capable in the dirt. And they can even pull budget-friendly adventure duty with a few choice modifications.   With that being said, the dual-sport genre can be a tough one to define. On one end, you’ve got mild-mannered and uber-reliable staples like the Honda CRF300L. While on the other,...
The 12 Best Campgrounds in California to Ditch the Crowds
  On a late fall camping trip, my family and I were headed to Picacho State Recreation Area. The remote desert park is situated along a scenic 9-mile stretch of the Colorado River on the border of Mexico near Yuma, Arizona. We were trying to get there before sunset, going as fast as the 18-mile dirt road would let us. We...
