Code of Ethics

We are sponsored by no one. Nobody compensates us for publishing any content on this web site or elsewhere. We have purchased all of our gear unless otherwise noted in an article.

We use affiliate links. If you buy anything from Amazon or iTunes within 24 hours of clicking on an affiliate link, we earn a commission of four to seven percent, without any extra fees for you. We donate all revenue from these affiliate links to non-profit organizations that focus on open space protection in the three regions where we do most of our backpacking: San Francisco Bay Area, Southern Utah, California’s Sierra Nevada.

We adhere to the Outdoor Blogger Codex.
