Disclosure
TruePrepper is here to build a community, learn from users, and share knowledge. The FTC requires us to disclose hidden interests or biases. Please assume all of the below for any product review or company we mention on this site:
- They gave us gear (probably to do the review in the first place)
- We received money/commission (typically in the form of an affiliate link)
- We got food (everyone has to eat)
- They bought us a drink (no explanation needed)
Regardless, we provide only our own opinions and do not have our reviews ‘bought’. At most, provided gear is considered in our roundups, so there may be bias in the exclusion of products we are unaware of, do not have, or are unable to test.
We also earn through subscriptions and purchases on our Patreon page. These earnings do not affect our review choices and are instead a way the community can support TruePrepper‘s independence.
Professional Advice
We are not physicians, financial advisors, or attorneys, so everything we write about or review is not medical, financial, safety, or legal advice and is just our opinion.
What we are is a collection of veterans, scientists, and engineers with doctorates and master’s degrees with broad concentrations, including Emergency Management.
Our professional advice is focused on preparedness, prepping, and survival with a combined century of experience in these areas. From HAZMAT response to border protection, we’ve had the gamut of practical experience to pair with our textbook knowledge to provide a well-balanced perspective.
Learn more about our writers’ individual experiences on our About page.
Affiliate Links
We appreciate transparency just as much as you do, so here is the list of affiliate programs that we participate in. By participating in a wide range of affiliate programs, we can earn from a wider range of our independent suggestions. Not every suggestion we make is from an affiliate, and we purchase most of the gear we review with our own funds.
Our participation in these programs does not imply any special relationship by either party:
