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 5-Move Workout You Can Do with Just a Weighted Vest
  If you’ve been in a park or on a trail any time in the last few months, you’re likely to have spotted them: the weighted vest walkers.

Triceps Exercises You Can Do at Home with Just a Set of Dumbbells
  Your triceps are tiny muscles that are responsible for a major movement. While your biceps help your elbow bend, your triceps, those horseshoe-shaped muscles towards the top of your arm, help your elbow extend. Though we tend to think of training these muscles primarily for aesthetic purposes, we also need them to be strong to perform basic daily functions like...
How to Fall Asleep Earlier, According to Ancient Science
  Do you regularly wake up feeling groggy and like you didn’t sleep enough? In our fast-paced existence, adequate sleep can feel not only elusive but like an act of radical self-care.   Many of us are accustomed to an emphasis on how long we sleep, with the recommended amount being 7 to 9 hours. But a 5,000-year-old system of medicine, known...
Netflix, Barfing, and Rivalries: Five Zany Tour de France Stories You May Have Missed
  Cyclists competing in the 2025 Tour de France rumbled into the city of Toulouse on Wednesday, July 16, and some of them no doubt reflected on the handful of compelling—and downright zany—situations to come out of the events first 11 stages.

A New Theory Explains Why Exercise Makes Us Tired
  Back in 2011, I went to an international conference in the Australian town of Bathurst called “The Future of Fatigue: Defining the Problem.” The feeling you encounter, say, 20 miles into a marathon may seem too self-evident to require any deep explanation, but it turns out to be surprisingly difficult to pin down. In psychology, there’s a widespread belief that...
After the Biggest Doping Bust in Years, What’s Next?
  To be a sports fan in the modern era is to be at least somewhat numb to the steady drip of doping positives. Occasionally, though, a bust is so big that it changes the trajectory of the sport. Ben Johnson’s positive test in 1988 almost crushed track and field for a decade. The BALCO scandal, which in the early 2000s...

How Much Caffeine Would Actually Enhance Your Performance?
  It’s easy to judge when you spot someone cruising out of your local coffee shop with an extra-caffeinated beverage in hand. The Last of Us star Pedro Pascal knows this all too well. He raised eyebrows earlier this year after paparazzi snapped a photo of his Starbucks order: a quad espresso with two extra shots, a drink Jimmy Kimmel later...
Our Editors Picked the Best SPF Lip Balms
  We know that sunscreen helps protect your skin from sun damage. That’s not news. But what about your lips? I’ve personally never really thought to put some form of sun protection on my lips, because, like, why? I assume it would also just come off my lips anytime I absent-mindedly lick them, take a sip of water, or eat literally...
As a Neurodivergent Person, Traveling Entails Prioritizing My Mental Health and Avoiding Overstimulation
  Growing up, I hated traveling, though I couldn’t pinpoint why. All I knew was that the unfamiliarity of everything from hotel bed sheets to cultural customs felt wholly dysregulating.   When I was diagnosed with ADHD and autism at the ages of 19 and 22, respectively, everything clicked into place, and I was catapulted into a journey of self-discovery and acceptance....
