How We Make Money
"Honesty is the only policy. Here is exactly how our business model works."
GravelPacker is a reader-supported publication. This means that instead of littering our site with banner ads or sponsored content, we rely on affiliate commissions to fund our testing and writing.
The Short Version
When you click a link to a retailer (like Amazon, REI, or Backcountry) on our site and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission. This comes at no extra cost to you. The price is the same whether you use our link or not.
Amazon Associates Disclosure
GravelPacker 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.
Editorial Independence
Our reputation is our most valuable asset. If we recommend a bad product just to make a quick buck, you won't come back, and we lose everything.
- We do not accept paid placements for listicles.
- We do not allow brands to preview reviews before publication.
- We prioritize products that we have actually used and tested.
