Affiliate Disclosure
Transparency is important to us. Here’s how affiliate links support Overland Gear Guide without costing you anything extra.
1. Why This Disclosure Exists
Overland Gear Guide is supported through affiliate partnerships. This means that when you click certain links on our site and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission—at no extra cost to you. These earnings help us keep the site running, test products, build free tools, and continue producing high-quality expedition guides.
2. Affiliate Programs We Participate In
Overland Gear Guide participates in multiple affiliate programs, including (but not limited to):
- Amazon Services LLC Associates Program – our most common affiliate partner for overlanding gear recommendations.
- Outdoor, 4×4, and Expedition Gear Retailers – such as specialist recovery, camping, and navigation gear shops.
- Digital products and eBook platforms – where relevant for training materials, guides, or essential overlanding resources.
Each partner has its own tracking and privacy policies, and you should review those on their respective websites.
3. How Affiliate Links Work
When you click an affiliate link:
- You will be redirected to the retailer’s website (e.g., Amazon).
- A small tracking cookie may be placed in your browser by that retailer or network.
- If you make a purchase within a certain time window (varies by program), Overland Gear Guide may earn a commission.
- You pay the exact same amount—prices are not increased for affiliate purchases.
4. Our Commitment to Honest Reviews
We take trust seriously. Every product recommended on Overland Gear Guide is chosen because it provides genuine value to overlanders based on:
- Hands-on experience with the gear
- Industry knowledge and testing
- Performance, reliability, and suitability for real-world expeditions
- Feedback from the global overlanding community
We never recommend a product solely because it offers an affiliate commission.
5. How Affiliate Earnings Support the Site
Affiliate revenue helps us:
- Maintain and upgrade our web hosting
- Produce detailed, accurate route guides and maps
- Create and improve free tools like the Expedition Planner
- Purchase gear for testing and comparison
- Keep all guides and resources ad-light and free to access
6. No Additional Cost to You
Affiliate commissions are paid by the retailer, not the customer. Using our links does not change the price you pay.
7. Transparency & Your Choice
Using affiliate links is completely optional. If you prefer not to use them, you can always go directly to the retailer’s website on your own.
We remain committed to transparency. If you ever have questions about how affiliate links work or how we choose recommended products, feel free to contact us.
