My advice is free and always will be.
I don’t think it’s right to keep knowledge about things that others can benefit from yourself or charge people for your “tips” so that you can make a couple of bucks.

Everything I know about camping and hiking is laid out here for you to enjoy. You won’t find any subscription fees, gated content, or sneaky advertisements coming from me.

Money is never exchanged between us on or off this site.

My knowledge is your gain.

I only make money from this site if you click on a product link and buy it. I receive a small commission from each sale, but it doesn’t impact the price you pay. Everything I recommend can be bought on Amazon.com because it’s a trustworthy site with an excellent return policy.

I hope this brief rant has helped you understand more about me and what you can expect by poking around on this site. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, and I’ll try to help you the best that I can.

We take our content seriously at hikingandcamping.net, going through a thorough process of researching, testing, asking for professional opinions, seeking users’ verdicts, and then designing it. This allows us to create informative posts for our readers.

So click around. Stay awhile. We hope to make you feel inspired.

Take care,
Chris Bowman
