The hyperlinks you see on products I name in my posts are NOT affiliate links. I include them so the reader can get more information if they wish. Almost all the gear I use is from small businesses, and I know how important word-of-mouth advertising is to their survival.

I have an affiliate link for the company from which I buy a lot of the freeze-dried stuff I use to make my backcountry meals. I’ve had really good results with the products I’ve purchased from them. If you use this link, I get a few pennies if you buy something from them.

Thanks, folks!
