Prepping Expert participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means that some links on this website lead to products on third-party retailers (such as Amazon, REI, and others). If you click one of these links and make a purchase, Prepping Expert may earn a small commission — at no additional cost to you.
What This Means
Affiliate links are how we generate revenue to keep this site free, ad-free, and independently operated. When you buy through a link on our site, you pay the same price you would otherwise — we receive a small portion of the sale from the retailer.
What This Doesn't Mean
Affiliate relationships do not influence what we recommend. Our editorial process is independent of our commercial relationships. We do not accept payment to recommend specific products, and we do not favor higher-commission products over lower-commission ones in our recommendations. Products are evaluated and recommended based on their practical value for household emergency preparedness.
How We Disclose
Affiliate links are disclosed clearly on every page that contains them. You will see a notice similar to: "Some links in this guide are affiliate links. We earn a small commission if you purchase through them, at no extra cost to you." This notice appears near the beginning of any gear guide or review page that contains affiliate links.
Amazon Associates
Prepping Expert 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.
Questions
If you have questions about our affiliate relationships or how we evaluate products, please contact us. We're happy to explain our process in more detail.
