Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: January 15, 2025

FTC Compliance Notice

In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR Part 255, "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising," this disclosure is provided to ensure full transparency regarding our affiliate relationships and material connections.

Overview

Survival Ready is a participant in several affiliate advertising programs designed to provide a means for websites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to retail websites. When you click on an affiliate link on our site and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you.

These affiliate commissions help us maintain and improve our website, create new content, test and review products, and continue providing free survival and preparedness information to our readers.

Our Affiliate Programs

Amazon Associates Program

Survival Ready 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.

Amazon and the Amazon logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates.

Direct Brand Partnerships

We partner directly with select survival and outdoor gear manufacturers. These partnerships may include affiliate commissions, sponsored content, or product samples for review purposes. All partnerships are clearly disclosed within the relevant content.

Sponsored content is always clearly labeled.

Other Affiliate Networks

We may also participate in other affiliate programs including but not limited to ShareASale, CJ Affiliate, Impact, and individual brand affiliate programs. Each program has its own terms and commission structures.

All affiliate links are clearly identified on our site.

How Affiliate Links Work

You Click a Link

When you click a product link on our site, a small tracking cookie is placed in your browser.

You Make a Purchase

If you decide to buy the product (or anything else during that session), the purchase is tracked.

We Earn a Commission

We receive a small percentage of the sale. This costs you nothing extra — the price is the same.

Our Promise to You

We want to be completely transparent about our affiliate relationships. Here is our commitment to you:

  • We only recommend products we have personally tested, researched, or believe provide genuine value to our readers.
  • Affiliate commissions never influence our product ratings, reviews, or recommendations. Our editorial integrity is not for sale.
  • You will never pay more for a product by using our affiliate links. The price is always the same whether you use our link or go directly to the retailer.
  • We will give honest negative reviews when warranted, even for products from our affiliate partners.
  • All affiliate links and sponsored content are clearly disclosed so you always know when we may earn a commission.
  • Your trust is more important to us than any commission. We would rather lose a sale than recommend a product we don't believe in.

Our Product Review Process

When we review products on Survival Ready, we follow a rigorous process to ensure our recommendations are trustworthy:

  • Products are purchased with our own funds or provided as review samples (always disclosed)
  • Each product is tested in real‑world conditions over an extended period
  • We compare products against competitors in the same category
  • Ratings are based on objective criteria: durability, performance, value, and ease of use
  • We update reviews when products are updated or when we gain new insights

Sponsored Content

Occasionally, we may publish sponsored content or accept compensation for featuring certain products or services. When this occurs:

  • The content will be clearly marked as "Sponsored" or "Paid Partnership"
  • We maintain full editorial control over all sponsored content
  • We only accept sponsorships from brands that align with our values and audience needs
  • Sponsored content undergoes the same editorial review process as all other content
