March 9, 2022January 15, 2020 by Backwoods Pursuit

In this Six Moon Designs Deschutes Plus review, we are going to look at what makes the Deschutes Plus unique. Its design features, such as the interior bug net, make this a great shelter. The netting does a great job of keeping out those pesky mosquitoes, gnats, and other flying bugs. It sets up with one trekking pole, (see our trekking pole review for an awesome ultralight 6.2oz trekking pole from S&S Archery) giving you a great combination for an ultralight shelter option. The Deschutes Plus is roomy for one, and also gives you the option to add a ground sheet if you want to keep something between you and any critters.
