Affiliate Disclosure

This page explains how affiliate relationships work on Backcountry Blueprints. I want the disclosure to be clear and easy to understand: some links on this site are affiliate links, which means CR may earn a commission if you click through and make a purchase or complete another qualifying action.

Effective Date

April 22, 2026

Affiliate programs used on this site

Backcountry Blueprints participates in several affiliate programs, including Amazon Associates (tag: cowboyroy-20), AvantLink (including programs such as Arizona Snowbowl and other outdoor or travel partners), Insta360 (partner ID: INR0Z00), and Rocky Talkie through Impact.com. These programs allow the site to earn referral commissions when readers use certain links.

Material connection disclosure

In plain FTC terms: there is a material connection between Backcountry Blueprints and some of the products, brands, or services mentioned here. That means CR may receive compensation if you click an affiliate link and take a qualifying action. That compensation comes at no extra cost to you.

How affiliate links work

When you click an affiliate link, the merchant or network may place a tracking cookie or use another attribution method to record that the referral came from this site. If you then buy or sign up within the allowed time window, the site may receive a commission. Prices are generally the same whether you use an affiliate link or go directly.

Editorial independence

Affiliate relationships do not buy favorable coverage. Opinions, reviews, rankings, and recommendations on Backcountry Blueprints reflect CR’s actual judgment, experience, and research. Products may be discussed because they are useful, relevant, or worth analyzing—not because a brand paid for placement. If a post is sponsored or separately compensated beyond normal affiliate participation, that will be disclosed clearly.

Where disclosures appear

Backcountry Blueprints aims to place disclosures where readers will actually see them. That may include post headers, intro sections, nearby callouts, and link hover text where appropriate. This standalone page exists as the site-wide disclosure, but individual pages and articles may also include extra context when affiliate links appear.
