Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: August 2026

The short version

Bucketlist Field Guide is reader-supported. When you click a product link on this site and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission — at no additional cost to you.

Amazon Associates

Bucketlist Field Guide 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.

Other retail partners

We also participate in affiliate programs with REI, Backcountry, and other outdoor retailers. Outbound links to these merchants may include tracking parameters that credit Bucketlist Field Guide for the referral.

Editorial independence

Affiliate relationships never determine which products we recommend or what we say about them. Bucketlist Field Guide is a curated resource: content is produced with the help of AI tools and then reviewed, fact-checked, and edited by humans. While we aim to feature gear and advice we would confidently use ourselves, we do not personally test every product mentioned. We rely on manufacturer specifications, verified user feedback, expert reviews, and thorough research to evaluate alternatives. If a product underperforms, we say so — commission or not.

How links are marked

Outbound affiliate links carry rel="sponsored noopener" in line with FTC and search engine guidance. Pages that contain affiliate links also display a short disclosure near the top.
