Six Moon Designs' "Six Moon" was named after the fact that it takes about six months to complete the 4,279 km Pacific Crest Trail (PCT). When brand owner Ron Moak experienced the PCT in 2000, he felt a strong need for lightweight gear, which inspired him to create innovative ultra-lightweight gear.
[Brand Story]
Brand owner Ron Moak was fascinated by the Appalachian Trail after his first backpacking experience in high school. A few years later, he set out on the 3,500km Appalachian Trail with his wife Linda in the summer of 1977. Inspired by hikers like Grandma Gatewood, Ron and Linda began making their own hiking gear and completed the PCT in 2000.
In May 2002, Six Moon Designs produced its first product, the Europa Tent. The Europa Tent met various criteria, such as being lightweight yet sturdy, easy to set up, and reasonably priced, making it a tent that is suitable for a wide range of use, including in the backcountry. Since then, the company has released a series of innovative products, including the Starlight Pack, Gatewood Cape, and Luna Solo. Ron is one of the few hikers to have achieved the Triple Crown. His extensive experience on the trails has led to the development of excellent gear for all those who enjoy the outdoors. Six Moon Designs is based in Portland, Oregon, USA.

SIX MOON DESIGNS Deschutes Tarp Set Shelter Tent for 1 person 700g SIX MOON DESIGNS Deschutes Tarp Set

The Deschutes Tarp Set from Six Moon Designs is a combination of the 400g Deschutes Tarp and the 300g Serenity NetTent. This set weighs only 400g and can be used alone as a one or two person shelter. It can also be used with the Serenity NetTent as an ultra-lightweight double fall tent weighing only 700g. The Deschutes Tarp is a reliable one-person tarp tent that can withstand bad weather. The Deschutes Tarp can be used like a tarp by rolling up the door, or you can close the door and use it with confidence in any bad weather. *Please note that trekking poles etc. are not included in the product.

This set is attractive for its lightweight yet sturdy design. It is ideal for outdoor activities such as mountain climbing, camping, and hiking. Especially when trekking or backpacking, it is lightweight yet provides sufficient protection, so by carrying it in your luggage, you can reduce the burden. You can also get peace of mind from the Deschutes Tarp even in scenes where the weather changes suddenly. In addition to using it as a shelter, you can also roll up the door to use it as a sunshade or close it to prevent wind from entering. In addition to using it for one person, you can also use it as a two-person tent by combining it with the Serenity Net Tent when enjoying camping with friends or partners.

■ Ground clearance

The tarp has a sufficient ground clearance of 122cm, so there is no sense of oppression, and the effective internal area is larger than it appears. You can use the tarp comfortably without having to step outside the tarp, as the tent will not hit your back when cooking or changing clothes.

■ Sufficient depth

The short side is 106cm, and the maximum depth including all rooms is 203cm, which is wider than the company's Lunar Solo and is large enough for one person to use. If you sit in the middle, you can spend the night safely in bad weather without worrying about splashes.

■ Intentionally designed entrance with ventilation in mind

The unique door design is short for a normal tent door, but it allows fresh air in at all times while significantly cutting down on rain blowing in. The short zipper is placed for easy entry and exit.

When you are worried about bugs or snow blowing in, you can add an inner tent with a high bathtub floor by combining it with the serenity net tent (sold separately). The main body alone weighs 375g, and the double wall version with net weighs 685g, making it very light despite the large usable area. This item is unique in that it allows you to enjoy the open feeling that is the original appeal of tarps while also providing a safe design. It has an atmosphere that makes you want to try it out in the quiet mountains in deep autumn or at the beginning of spring.
