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.

Luna Middle Bear Sandals Review: Rise of the Do-It-All, Barefoot Hiking Sandal
  There was a time when overly cushioned athletic footwear reigned king (I’m looking at you, New Balance). In recent years, footwear trends have seen a shift toward barefoot designs. Out with overly padded, high-arched running and hiking shoes, and in with wide toeboxes, thin soles, and nonexistent arches. But Luna takes the barefoot hiking shoe one step further with its...
Black Diamond Distance Carbon Z Pole Review: Ready to Go Fast? These Poles Are Lightyears Ahead
  I rounded the corner, hitting a patch of ice quicker than I’d like. I’m either going to tumble or catch myself — hopefully, the latter.

Handmade, 3-Season, Ultralight Sleeping Bag: Western Mountaineering Alpinlite Review
  My climbing partners and I trudged into camp around noon on Mt.

I dragged myself into my Western Mountaineering Alpinlite sleeping bag and plunged into what felt like a...

Adjust Your Tint, Play Your Music: Chamelo Music Shield Sunglasses Review
  As I jogged along the trail, I could hear the sound of gravel beneath my feet and Maynard James Keenan singing clearly in my ear.
