Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: May 19, 2026
BogRiddownGear (bogriddowngear.com) participates in affiliate advertising programs designed to provide a means for content sites to earn advertising fees by linking to relevant products and retailers. When you click a link on this site and make a qualifying purchase, we may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you. These commissions help fund the hands-on testing, comparisons, and editorial content we publish.
We only recommend products we have personally evaluated against published criteria (SHTF score, real-world performance, vendor reliability) or that meet the prepper community’s established consensus on quality. Commissions do not influence our rankings or verdicts. If a product underperforms, we will say so — regardless of who pays the commission.
FTC Compliance
In accordance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR Part 255 Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising, we disclose that all outbound links to retailers and brand stores on BogRiddownGear should be treated as affiliate links unless explicitly marked otherwise. This disclosure applies to every page, every product card, every comparison table, and every text link on the site.
Amazon Associates Program
BogRiddownGear 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. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. Amazon, the Amazon logo, AmazonSupply, and the AmazonSupply logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates.
Affiliate Networks
BogRiddownGear is also a publisher participant in the following affiliate networks, each of which connects us with multiple advertisers and brand partners:
- ShareASale — Awin Group
- Impact (impact.com)
- CJ Affiliate — formerly Commission Junction
- AvantLink — outdoor and tactical specialist network
- Rakuten Advertising
When you click a product link routed through one of these networks, the network records the referral and pays us a commission if you complete a qualifying purchase. We are not employees of these networks or of the brands listed below; we are independent content publishers.

Editorial Independence
No brand, retailer, or affiliate network has the right to review or approve our content prior to publication. Sponsored posts — if and when they appear — will be clearly labeled “Sponsored,” “Paid Partnership,” or “Advertisement” at the top of the post, in compliance with FTC 16 CFR Part 255. As of the date above, BogRiddownGear has published zero sponsored content.
No Cost To You
Using our affiliate links costs you nothing extra. The price you pay is the same whether you click a link on this site, visit the retailer directly, or arrive via any other source. Commissions are paid by the retailer or brand, not added to your bill.
Liability & Performance Claims
All product reviews and recommendations on BogRiddownGear reflect the authors’ independent opinions and the publicly available specifications of the products at the time of writing. We make no absolute guarantees regarding product performance, durability, or suitability for any specific emergency scenario. Preparedness is a personal responsibility — readers should evaluate gear against their own threat model, skill level, and local regulations before purchase. Use our content as a starting point, not a final verdict.
