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.

  Stakes and poles sold separately.

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.

A $40 Beater Multi-Tool Done Right: Harbor Freight Gordon 20-in-1 Multi-Tool Review
  Harbor Freight is one of my favorite hardware stores, and I spend a considerable amount of time browsing its aisles. For a person who loves both hardware and scavenger hunts, Harbor Freight combines the two in a way Home Depot, Lowe’s, Northern Tool, and Ace Hardware could never.   Tools at Harbor Freight fall into three buckets, almost in equal measure:...
The Reiff Knives Circadian Is the American-Made Muscle Car of Outdoor Knives
  I’m all about carrying a belt knife out hiking and exploring most of the time. In the colder months, I wear one all the time. I’m not sure if it’s because I subconsciously think I will need to fend for myself against a legion of ice monsters destined to take over our planet, or not. However, consciously, I know that...

2025 GearJunkie Adventure Vehicle of the Year Awards
  The trend toward more rugged and adventure-ready vehicles straight from the factory continued in 2025. While more refreshes hit the market this past year than truly new vehicles, there are a few standouts worthy of a 2025 GearJunkie Adventure Vehicle of the Year Award.   As usual, we got behind the wheel of lots of new vehicles andreviewed many of them....
The Knife That Named a Category: Buck 110 Folding Hunter Knife Review
  Weber, Leatherman, Buck. Anytime I come across a storied brand that never surrendered its reputation for manufacturing quality to bean counters’ “death by a thousand cuts,” my heart warms by a few degrees.   You’ve heard the term “Buck knife” before. It’s a household name, after all. Buck is the name of the company, founded in 1947, and the Buck 110...
‘Tacticool’ Meets Classic Upland Style: Chief Upland Over/Under Vest Review
  Im not a tactical gun bro. I think tactical gear is over-the-top, and doesnt fit my style despite having spent over 7 years in the Army. Im more of the old school, classic look type of guy. Think tweed jacket, bamboo fly rod, and walking the Scottish countryside with an over-under vibe. Yeah, its snobby, but I like what I...
Save Time and Money: Complete Parts List for Your Dream DIY Campervan Build
  Most van build guides assume you can build cabinetry and wire 12V systems. They assume van interiors are square. Theyre not. Those curved walls and angled ribs make cabinet building exponentially harder. They think you have more than hand tools — or will buy them. Where do those go?   Im not a carpenter or electrician. But Ive stumbled my way...
Leap From One Activity to Another: KEEN Roam Review
  Like many runners with a shoe fixation, my closet is overflowing with footwear. I have waterproof trail runners, breezy road runners, carbon-plated racers, and nimble, breathable mountain scalers.   But what about shoes for liminal terrain — those runs that take you from your front door along pavement to a wooded trail to a gravel path and back again? For that...
Walmart Makes the Best Value in Knives Even Better: Ozark Trail Tanto Review
  The first Ozark Trail knife was an experiment in limbo pricing (how low can you go?) and sourcing real knife components. This knife, which has no official name — hence the Ozark Trail Tanto — is not just a daring loss leader, it is also an outstanding and cohesive piece, a knife with real chops.   At $20 plus tax, you...
Victorinox Adds Two Features You Never See on a Swiss Army Knife: ‘Onefold’ Review
  Changing a century-old, world-renowned form factor that sells millions of knives a year is a bold move, but that is exactly what Victorinox did with its Refined line. These tools add two things missing from classic Swiss Army Knives: a locking blade and a pocket clip.There are three tools in this new line, the simplest being the Onefold, which is...
Perfect Ergonomics (At a Price): Kershaw Knives Pack Mule Review
  For a guy who has been collecting knives for nearly 40 years, I’m actually kind of picky about the ones I like to use. I own a lot of really cool knives, but not many are all that practical. If I’m not actively reviewing a knife and I have the freedom to choose any blade to hit the trail with...
Integrated Cushion, Instant Comfort: REI Co-op Wonderland Comfort Cot Review
  Chuck out Grandpa’s Army cot — there’s no reason to suffer anymore, backcountry cadet. The built-in suspension and cushion of the REI Co-op Wonderland Comfort Cot add all the comfort and support you’ll need for a supremely elevated camp sleep.
