ENTER THE DECKED F-150 GIVEAWAY | WEEK 6 | ROOF TOP TENT
ENTER NOW: http://bit.ly/3a4ioSw
We're capping off the DECKED Adventure-Built F-150 Giveaway with a required item for any off-roader: a Tuff Stuff Delta Overland roof top tent! If you enter the Adventure-Built F-150 Giveaway, the keys to this truck could be yours, along with $20,000 cash, for a total prize value of over $88,000!
If you're looking for the best camper experience that fits with your off-road, on-the-move lifestyle, you can't get much better than a top-of-the-line roof top tent, whether it's a hardtop or a five-person softshell tent.
Tuff Stuff offers a number of roof top tents for purchase, but for the latest episode of our F-150 adventure build, we went with their Delta Overland Roof Top Tent. It's got the same design as the Tuff Stuff Ranger Overland model, but without the annex room (though it still is optional and sold separately) and the additional overhang over the ladder area.
By eliminating these features, this allows the RTT to be mounted at a lower height, so you don't have to duck under the overhang. With that in mind, the Delta RTT is best suited for mounting to pickup truck beds, 4X4 travel trailers, or smaller SUV/Crossover vehicles where the roof rack is below head height.
Other features of the Delta rooftop tent include a polyester, mold-resistant rain fly, a high-density foam mattress with a removable and washable cover, all-aluminum frame, sturdy ladder, roof rack mounts, a heavy-duty PVC driving cover, and three “NO-SEE-UM MESH” screened windows with awnings. On top of that, the Delta tent fabric is high quality, breathable, and offers maximum water resistance, so you definitely won't be roughing it during your off-road trips.
Besides roof top tents, Tuff Stuff offers a number of crucial accessories, from truck bed racks to Jeep and Tacoma accessories to any other of your overlanding needs. These folks definitely got you covered for your next off-road adventure.
Remember: you can't win without entering, and you need to do so before March 31, 2021 at 11:59 pm ET!
ENTER THE DECKED F-150 GIVEAWAY | WEEK 5 | DECKED TRUCK BED STORAGE SYSTEM
ENTER HERE: http://bit.ly/3ceSIVO
We added the DECKED truck bed storage system to our Adventure-Built F-150 Giveaway Truck, giving it the greatest, most innovative organizer to our off-road vehicle.
We upgraded this Ford F-150 Lariat 4x4 SuperCrew with Fox Coilovers, Nitto Tires, a Dometic electric cooler and Samlex solar panel, and now it was time to install the DECKED storage system.
If you're looking for a pickup truck bed organizer and storage system that offers the best in durability and functionality, you can't get better than a DECKED system.
The high-quality system is weatherproof and easy to install (no drilling required!), and it also provides full-bed length drawers for efficient organization. Equipped to handle 2,000 pounds of payload up top, the DECKED drawer system is able to fit everything from full-size and midsize trucks to cargo vans, while the truck tool box keeps your tools accessible but out of sight.
DECKED offers a number of useful truck accessories from Crossbox truck tool boxes to drawer dividers to drain plugs to a nifty thing called a Drawerganizer, which provides optimal storage space. On top of that, every DECKED product is engineered and manufactured in the USA and comes backed with a three-year warranty, so you're getting the best bang for your buck.
Whether you drive a Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra, Toyota Tundra, Nissan Titan, or Ford F-150, a DECKED storage system is no doubt the best that money can buy.

The deadline is March 31, 2021 at 11:59 p.m., meaning you've only got about a month to enter to win the Adventure-Built F-150, presented by DECKED.
We put a lot of time and effort into finding, then installing, the best off-road accessories to create the perfect off-roader's dream vehicle.
Check out WideOpenSpaces.com and our social media pages every Monday to see the newest episode.
This week, we gave the truck a reliable power source, plus a way to keep food, drinks, and other essentials cold and safe throughout an entire adventure.
That's why we went with the Dometic CFX3 electric cooler, plus the Samlex MSK-135 portable solar charging kit, two excellent choices for any 4x4 off-road enthusiast.
Energy efficient refrigeration might not be something you ever think you'd need in an adventure-built truck, but what's better than enjoying an ice cream treat after a day out on the trails?
Dometic portable coolers offer the best in cooling performance, while the Samlex charging kit comes equipped with solar panels that can charge 12-volt batteries and a 10 amp charge controller.
Dometic, which offers everything from camper accessories to ice chests, has a number of electric-powered coolers on their official site, though their latest series is the CFX3.
These portable compressor coolers are built for prime durability, thanks to their lightweight ExoFrame construction. The proprietary VMSO3 compressor cooling technology keeps the temperature anywhere between 20 °C and –22 °C.
And, that's not all. The CFX3 App allows temperature control via WiFi, while the battery protection system prevents a dead car battery. On top of that, the Active Gasket Technology provides a strong seal to keep in that cool air and lessen power consumption.
Some of the models include removable wire baskets with dividers for optimal storage organization.
One version even comes with an ice maker function, turning the cooler into a fridge freezer combination. The top of the line model offers dual-zone storage compartments with independent temperature control.
Check out WideOpenSpaces.com, AltDriver.com, and our social media channels to see the remaining episodes of the Adventure-Built F-150 Giveaway, and be sure to enter to win the truck before the contest ends on March 31, 2021 at 11:59 pm ET.
3 Cutting-Edge Optics from Industry Leader ATN
ATN Corp., the leader in digital optics, is always coming out with new and innovative devices to help shooters, hunters, and others make the most of their time afield, at the range, and beyond.
We got to speak with ATN's Steve Lemenov about three of their latest products, all designed to take advantage of smart HD optics, thermal technology, and night vision capabilities.
For starters, the new ATN X-Sight LTV is a scaled down version of their flagship X-Sight 4K Pro digital scope. It's a day and night vision scope that uses a QHD+ sensor and has the ability to record HD video, all while using ultra low power consumption, enough to provide 10-plus hours of continuous use. Perhaps best of all, it allows users to achieve a one shot zero when sighting in their rifle. The Smart HD Thermal rifle scope is reasonably priced and can work in short or long range applications.
Next, the TICO LT Thermal Clip-on sight is meant to be mounted to just about any riflescope and award the user thermal detection powered by ATN’s Obsidian LT core. It will allow anyone who's attached to their particular optics the ability to continue their shooting into the darkness of night.
Finally, the OTS LT Thermal Monocular is a lightweight, easy to use device that has a wide range of uses. Law enforcement, search and rescue, game identification, and plenty of other activities are made far easier with the OTS LT. The battery life and smooth zoom add to the appeal.
Together, these products represent the forefront of thermal imaging, and the cutting edge lineup offered by ATN Corp.

ENTER THE DECKED F-150 GIVEAWAY | WEEK 2 | WHEELS & TIRES
"We've spent weeks preparing our Adventure-Built F-150 Giveaway powered by DECKED for one lucky winner, plus $20,000 extra for a total prize value of over $88,000!
ENTER HERE: http://bit.ly/3ceSIVO
Each week, we're showcasing a different upgrade, knowing we had to make it a total off-road machine for whoever ends up winning it. Our simple-to-use entry forms are open, which you can visit right now for a real chance to be the owner of a DECKED-out F-150.
In week two, we added an essential piece of the off-road truck build puzzle: wheels and tires.
Our Ford F-150 Lariat 4x4 SuperCrew pickup deserved nothing but the best, which is why we chose and installed the upgrades we did.
Here's a closer look at the Nitto Ridge Grappler Hybrid Terrain Tires, which were put on the Venomrex 602 wheels.
Over the years, Nitto has made an extremely reputable name for itself with its mud-terrain tires and all-terrain tires. With the Ridge Grappler, you're getting the very best in off-road performance. Not only that, but thanks to Nitto's special variable pitch tread pattern, its tires also offer a smooth, quiet highway ride for that daily commute.
The Nitto Ridge Grappler comes equipped with a number of impressive performance features, including staggered shoulder lugs for dependable grip and alternating shoulder grooves that quickly clear mud from the tread pattern for increased traction. On top of that, the stone ejectors in the base of the grooves help to remove debris, while the dual sidewall design lets you choose your preferred look, whether you're going for traditional or more aggressive.
Ridge Grappler tires are also backed by Nitto's limited warranty, so you're covered in the event of a defect.
If you're looking for new tires, whether they be SUV, light truck, or heavy-duty truck tires, you can't go wrong with a set of Nitto Ridge Grapplers.
Paired with the lightweight, tungsten graphite Venomrex 602 wheels, this winning combination pairs unmatched off-road performance with highway bliss on the open road.
Keep an eye out for a new episode each Monday, and be sure to enter to win the DECKED Adventure-Built F-50 Giveaway at WideOpenSpaces.com and AltDriver.com before the contest ends on March 31, 2021."
ENTER THE DECKED F-150 GIVEAWAY | WEEK 1 | FOX SUSPENSION
The Adventure-Built F-150 Giveaway is in full swing! In Episode 1, we made a Fox Coilover suspension upgrade.
Our custom adventure truck started as a Ford F-150 Lariat 4x4 SuperCrew pickup, upgraded with premium off-road accessories for the outdoor enthusiast. We're awarding the winner an extra $20,000 cash, for a total value of over $88,000!
Along with the Nitto Tires, the DECKED Truck Bed Storage System, the portable solar panels, and the rooftop tent from Tuff Stuff, one of the major upgrades this F-150 received are the Fox Coilover Shocks.
The Fox Coilovers we chose were easy to install and added a ton of off-road capability and performance. The truck is already well-equipped for the rigors of off-road trails, but now the new suspension takes it up a notch.
Fox Coilovers are built to improve the comfort and performance, whether it's a Ford Ranger, Chevy Silverado, Toyota Tacoma, or GMC Sierra. But, before purchasing, it's important to know which coilover shocks best fit your needs.
The Fox 2.0 Factory Race Series coilovers come equipped with either a 5/8″ shaft or a 7/8″ shaft. While the 5/8" shaft are designed for UTVs and lightweight buggies, coilovers with the 7/8″ shaft, made out of stainless steel for added durability, are meant for larger vehicles.
We added the Fox 2.5 Factory Race Series Coilover to our Adventure-Built F-150. With added heat tolerance and more dampening control, these Fox racing coilovers also feature a stainless steel piston rod and high-flow race piston.
The Fox 2.5 Performance Series coils comes with rubber-braided steel hoses with high-flow fittings for increased performance and durability.
Providing a high level of damping, which is ideal for heavy off-road race vehicles, Fox 3.0 Factory Race remote reservoir coilovers are equipped with a H900 piston rod. This is twice as strong as traditional high-carbon piston rods, making it much more resistant to rock debris.
Like with the other factory series coilovers, these Fox shocks are offered with the following adjustments: rotating reservoir bridge, spring preload ring, dual stage crossover ring, compression valving, rebound valving, and optional DSC Adjuster.
Check out WideOpenSpaces.com, AltDriver.com, and our social media channels to see the remaining episodes of the Adventure-Built F-150 Giveaway, and enter to win the truck before the contest ends on March 31, 2021 at 11:59 pm ET.
The Best Hunting Camps in the United States
Our friends at Savage Arms posed the question: Where are the best U.S. hunting camps? It almost seemed unfair, but we had to at least try to answer.
Joined together were Wide Open Spaces editor in chief Eric Pickhartz, Associate Editor David Schlake, and Social Media Manager Daryk Ganske, and they set out to share their opinions on the matter.
The biggest conclusion they came to was that it doesn't matter if it's deer camp, duck camp, or turkey camp. It doesn't matter if you pitch a wall tent in the backcountry, or sleep in a comfy bed inside a luxury hunting lodge.
Hunting trips, and the destinations we share with our band of brothers and sisters, are made all the better by the good food, good conversation and storytelling, and of course the feeling of personal connectivity for each camper who experiences them.

Meet the Savage 110 Precision from Savage Arms
We got to check out the 110 Precision from Savage Arms, a gun that's name is about as literal as it gets.
The Savage 110 Precision is a long range bolt action rifle that, from the custom stock to the barrel to the trigger, to the muzzle break, was created with enhanced accuracy in mind.
At the heart of the performance features is the Savage factory-blueprinted action. It's basically a joining together of components so that the action and the bore are in perfect alignment. We're talking tight tolerances, gunsmith level stuff. You're getting a match-grade set of custom components, and even more custom shop style parts as you look further.
The skeletonized stock, known as the MDT LSS XL Chassis, was designed by Modular Driven Technologies and includes a fully adjustable comb height and length of pull. If you're gonna shoot a precision rifle, you might as well shoot one that fits you, and an adjustable stock is the way to make it happen. It's finished with an FDE Cerakote, and that flat dark earth tone does this gun well.
There's a 20 MOA 1 piece EGW rail for optics, a matte black, 20-inch, carbon steel barrel, and a BA muzzle brake. The overall length is either 38.5 or 39.5 inches. It has a reasonable barrel length and a slightly short action, making this gun an instant add to your wish list.
Then, if you take a look at the trigger, you'll recognize that it's Savage's user-adjustable AccuTrigger, their innovative two-piece trigger that works wonders for accuracy.
The centerfire 110 Precision shoots long range ammo in calibers like the 6.5 Creedmoor, 308 Winchester, 300 Win Mag, 300 PRC, or 338 Lapua. It holds 10 rounds in an AICS Magazine.
If you want a gun with a lifetime of elite precision, and want to accomplish the sort of long range shooting that you only thought was possible with a custom rifle you spend a boatload of money on, the Savage 110 Precision is the gun to put at the top of your list. It has an MSRP of $1,499, and you can find out plenty more at SavageArms.com and WideOpenSpaces.com.
3 Ridiculous Targets We Couldn't Wait to Shoot With Savage Arms
We came up with some not-so-normal targets to shoot with some new Savage Arms guns. Want to watch what happens?
Admit it: The thought crosses your mind every time you go to the shooting range. You wish you could put a water balloon, or an Apple iPhone, or some sort of ridiculous target out at 100 yards and try to obliterate it.
We know it's not allowed at a public range, and maybe even discouraged at most private facilities, but when you've got a range to yourself in the middle of Texas Hill Country, then you can get away with a little more. As long as everything's kept safe, which we were sure to do, you can aim at those sort of ridiculous targets you've always wanted to hit.
Bull's eye paper, steel gongs, and even interactive targets can get a little boring after a while, so spicing things up at the range is a great way to stay interested, motivated, and determined to improve your accuracy and overall shooting skills.
What's also great is the way Savage Arms guns promote the attributes every shooter needs to develop, like the aforementioned accuracy, but also fit, comfort, execution, and recoil control.
With the features included on firearms like the Renegauge shotgun and the 110 Precision, Savage Arms has dedicated themselves to ensuring that everyone's trip to the range is enjoyable.
6 Quick Firearm Tips from Savage Arms and Wide Open Spaces
Here are some quick tips to make the most of your trigger time, with help from Savage Arms.
We know that everyone wants to be accurate, precise, and fast with their shooting skills, but those traits take time to build. Whether you're preparing for an upcoming competition, or gearing up for hunting season, knowing the ins and outs of your firearm, plus some smart tips to stay sharp, will help you go a lot farther than you might have thought.
Our associates at Savage Arms know what it means to dedicate themselves to high-quality firearm production, which naturally translates to a wide breadth of gun knowledge. Thankfully, they're always willing to help spread the kind of information that will help with self-assurance, accuracy, and technique.
With help from Savage, we put together a collection of six smart firearm tips that are worth committing to memory. You'll see a difference after adopting these strategies, and it's well worth your time to learn them.
If you aren't trying to improve, you're doing yourself, your odds of success, and the game animals you hope to harvest a disservice.

Savage Renegauge Shotgun Review
Savage Arms has answered the call of the countless hunters and competition shooters that have long since trusted the company for bolt-action rifles and MSRs, but wondered when that reliability would translate to a well-made shotgun. The company spent years developing the innovative gas system, speeding up the action, and fine-tuning the custom fit features common to their AccuFit system. The end result is the Renegauge shotgun.
ATN's TICO LT Thermal Clip On Sight Is A Game Changer
Perhaps the coolest of the new ATN Corp gear was the TICO LT Thermal Clip On Sight. It's a wonder it's taken so long for someone to bring this sort of thing to the general public, but to think it can change your entire set up into a night vision-capable machine is really incredible.
For those who can't manage to part with their rifle scopes, the TICO LT brings thermal straight to your current set up. There's nothing to zero or adjust; you can just upgrade the optics you're already comfortable with. Up to 10 hours battery life and 1280x720 resolution thermal imagery are indeed upgrades.
The clip on is versatile and weather resistant, and it's so easy to attach and detach the TICO LT, that we've got some pretty high expectations for this release.
Now that you've seen the newest products from ATN Corp, you're wise to what more and more hunters, shooters, and servicemen and women are learning each season: ATN really is the future of optics.

Check out the ATN OTS LT Thermal HD Monocular
We were able to look through the OTS LT Thermal HD Monocular on the showroom floor, and it really didn't do the optic justice. Though it was incredible to see how well it worked, we needed the dead of night to really get the full idea.
Still, the monocular's capabilities spoke for themselves. The same Obsidian LT Core is at work keeping the battery consumption reasonable, and lenses available range from 19mm to 50mm.
The top of the series boasts a human detection range of 1,700 meters and a human identification range of 400 meters. Imagine what that translates to as wildlife detection! Scoping for critters in hunting situations or thick vegetation is the sort of task night vision devices like the OTS LT are made for.
It's lightweight, can be held in one hand for an extended period of time, and makes game recovery or search and rescue duties far more efficient.

ATN X-Sight LTV Series Day/Night Thermal Imaging Scope Is Here
A scaled and slimmed version of the already popular ATN X-Sight 4K Pro, the X-Sight LTV brings forth the new ATN QHD+ M584 Sensor with a resolution of 2688x1944. The vivid, crisp image these scopes produce is like what you'd expect from a high-quality piece of glass. Then you're reminded of all the extra features.
It's smaller and lighter than the previous versions, with the new ATN Obsidian LT Core which promotes an expanded battery life. It allows you to record HD video and cycle through multiple reticles. The X-Sight LTV has a 3D gyroscope, a 3D accelerometer, and includes an IR illuminator. Despite all that tech-talk, is still pretty simple to operate.
You can mount this versatile scope on almost anything with standard 30mm rings. Basically, it's the digital scope for the masses.

Check Out the Newest Optics From ATN (X-Sight LTV, OTS LT, TICO LT)
Take a look at the innovative optics coming to market from ATN Corp, who's leading the way in affordable thermal rifle scopes with night vision, smart HD recording, and a multitude of other capabilities.
Each year we try to pay close attention to the new wave of optics that come out of the industry, but it's admittedly difficult to keep up. But not a year goes by without hearing from ATN Corp, one of our favorite smart optics makers. Their day/night rifle scopes have impressed us from first sight, and the products they're coming up with to add to those offerings are following suit.
We got to see, up close and in fine detail, three new products ATN is coming out with this year. When the thermal imaging day/night sight, thermal monocular, and clip-on sight were announced, we couldn't wait to get our hands on them to really see what they could do.
After getting a full run through from one of ATN's experts, we thought some of the features and capabilities of these smart HD optics were pretty awesome. Then we learned about the MSRPs of the new gear. Needless to say, ATN Corp's year is set to be a big one.
The company is proving that thermal, night vision capabilities aren't strictly for law enforcement or military operations. When you use them as hunting rifle scopes, game animal scouting tools, and management control devices, there's a whole new world that can open up to the optics user.
Here are a few more details on the specific things we got to check out, all of which will be available on ATN Corp's website in good time.

Avoid Hunting Blunders With the Customization of Savage AccuFit
This deer hunting story will hopefully help demonstrate the benefits of the Savage Accufit System. Maybe you can relate to it enough to see the importance of the custom gun fitting features Savage can allow.
We show the advantage of the AccuFit System on the Savage Model 110 Ridge Warrior in 6.5 Creedmoor. By removing two screws, you can change both the length of pull and raise the comb height.
By swapping out the comb risers and length of pull inserts with any Phillips-head screwdriver, you can get that custom fit with the easily interchangeable parts that come with the gun.
Bolt action rifles are the kinds of things we like to see passed down, and with the Savage Accufit, the same gun that works for you can easily work for your kid or grandkid.
Hunting rifles like these should last a long time, cater to the user, and be optimized to do the things a gun’s supposed to do. The Savage Accufit System is getting us about as close to that optimal scenario as we’ve ever been.

Savage 110 BA Stealth: The Long Range Rifle Of Your Dreams
Think you could hit a 1,000-yard shot? If given the right tools for the job, it’s totally possible, and we’re proving it with the 110 BA Stealth from Savage Arms.
This long range chassis rifle fires .338 Lapua cartridges, you can also get it in .300 Win Mag, and it’s a joint effort between Savage and Drake Associates.
The one-piece monolithic aluminum chassis keeps the weight down, and it’s mated to the factory-blueprinted Savage action for a custom shop-level combo.
The rifle has the adjustable Savage Accutrigger plus the gunmaker’s customary zero-tolerance headspacing. Features like the pistol grip and the adjustable buttstock help the fit and feel, and aid in accuracy.
The Savage Stealth has a detachable box magazine, plus a Fab Defense GLR-16 six-position and a Magpul M-Lok Forend. There’s a heavy duty muzzle brake and a nice, long picatinny rail, to which we’ve attached the Leupold VX-3i Long Range Precision scope.
In other words, it’s the long range precision rifle of your dreams. As far as feature-rich bolt-action rifles in this category go, it’s among the least expensive, too, at less than $1,700 MSRP.
I’d say add yourself a bipod, load up on that admittedly expensive ammo, and pick up a gun like the Savage 110 BA Stealth if you really want to stretch it out.
