Sometimes when we recommend a product, we\u2019ll link to the company\u2019s website using what\u2019s known as an\u00a0affiliate<\/i>\u00a0or\u00a0referral<\/em>\u00a0link. Basically, if you end up buying a product that you found via our link, we get a commission from the vendor as a small \u201cthank you.\u201d<\/p>
Sometimes that commission is just a few dollars; sometimes it\u2019s a little more. Sometimes it\u2019s a one-time commission; sometimes it\u2019s a rolling commission \u2014 so if you sign up for a monthly subscription service, we might get a slice of that monthly fee.<\/p>
But here\u2019s the important thing \u2014 that referral doesn\u2019t cost you a penny. The entire commission comes out of the vendor\u2019s pocket not yours.<\/p>
And it goes without saying that we\u2019ll never recommend a product simply because it pays us a commission because that would be sleazy, right?<\/p>
So, we\u2019ll only recommend products that we\u2019ve personally used or that come highly recommended by trusted peers. (After all, if we only recommended products, we\u2019re using ourselves right now, we\u2019d be doing you a disservice, because there are products that are a great fit when you\u2019re starting out, but you might be exploring a different type of camping than we are right now. Make sense?)<\/p>
Now it\u2019s possible that we didn\u2019t mark some links in older posts, so the safest thing to assume is that any time we link to a third-party product, we might get a small commission.<\/p>
