Affiliate Disclosure

This Affiliate Disclosure is provided by Earl Gibson (“we” or “us”) to clearly outline our relationships with various companies and advertising networks. We believe in transparency and want you to understand how we generate income to support the creation of travel and outdoor content on this website.

This website occasionally uses affiliate links, which are special tracking links that direct you to a third-party merchant, such as Amazon or other service providers.

When you click on an affiliate link and subsequently make a purchase, we may receive a small commission or compensation from the merchant, at absolutely no additional cost to you. This payment comes directly from the merchant as a reward for referring a customer to them.

Commitment to Our Readers

  • Our Integrity: The existence of an affiliate relationship never influences the content, topics, or reviews we provide. We only recommend products, tools, or gear (like the KEEN boots I review) that we have personally used, thoroughly researched, or genuinely believe will provide value to our readers.
  • Your Choice: You are under no obligation to click on these links or purchase any products that are advertised or mentioned.

Specific Affiliate Programs

We participate in several affiliate marketing programs, including:

1. Amazon Associates Program Earl Gibson 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 linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.

  • Required Disclosure: As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

2. Other Advertising and Affiliate Programs As I expand into more travel and outdoor content, I may also be affiliated with other companies that provide gear, booking services, or equipment. My participation in these programs is also disclosed by the presence of a clear, short disclosure at the beginning of any relevant post.

What Does This Mean For You?

  • No Extra Cost: Clicking on an affiliate link and making a purchase will not increase the price of the item for you. The price remains exactly the same as if you visited the merchant directly.
  • Support: The commissions I earn help cover the costs of running this website—including hosting, software, and content creation—allowing me to continue providing free, high-quality reviews and travel advice.

If you have any questions regarding my affiliate relationships, please do not hesitate to contact me.
