What This Means
Base Camp List participates in affiliate marketing programs, which means we may earn a small commission when you click on certain links on our site and make a purchase. This comes at no additional cost to you whatsoever. You pay the exact same price you would pay by going directly to the retailer.
Affiliate commissions are one of the primary ways we keep Base Camp List running. They help us cover the costs of testing gear, maintaining the website, and continuing to publish honest, in-depth reviews for the outdoor and camping community.
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission guidelines, we want to be fully transparent with our readers about these relationships. Whenever a link on our site has the potential to earn us a commission, we want you to know about it upfront.
Amazon Associates Program
Base Camp List is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
Many of the products we review and recommend on this site include links that direct you to Amazon product pages. If you click one of these links and complete a purchase, we may receive a small commission from Amazon at no extra charge to you.
We also maintain affiliate relationships with other outdoor gear retailers and brands from time to time. In all cases, the same principle applies: clicking our links and buying something may earn us a commission, but it will never cost you anything extra.
Our Editorial Standards
Our affiliate relationships have absolutely no influence over which products we choose to review, which gear we recommend, or what opinions we express on this site. We do not accept payment to write positive reviews, and we do not let commission rates determine our editorial decisions.
Every recommendation on Base Camp List is based on our genuine assessment of a product’s quality, performance, durability, and value for outdoor enthusiasts. If we think a product has significant flaws, we will say so, regardless of whether it carries an affiliate link.
We only recommend products that we believe would genuinely benefit our readers. Our goal is to help you make confident, informed decisions about your camping and outdoor gear. Your trust matters more to us than any commission we might earn.
Some products we review may have been provided to us as samples by manufacturers or brands. In those cases, we will always disclose that within the relevant review. Receiving a product for free does not guarantee a positive review, and all opinions expressed remain entirely our own.
Questions
If you have any questions about our affiliate relationships, how we choose the products we review, or anything else related to how Base Camp List operates, we encourage you to reach out to us directly.
We are committed to being as transparent as possible with our readers, and we are always happy to clarify how our site works. You can contact us through the Contact page found in our site navigation.
