Affiliate disclosure
The short version: some links on this site earn me a commission. It costs you nothing, and it does not decide what I recommend.
Amazon Associates
Black Sky Prep 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 I earn from qualifying purchases.
What that means
- When you click a link marked "Check price on Amazon", or another link to Amazon, and then buy something, Amazon pays this site a small percentage.
- You pay the same price as you would otherwise.
- The commission applies to whatever you buy on that visit, not only the item linked.
- Amazon may set a cookie in your browser to record that you came from this site. See the privacy page.
How products are chosen
- Nobody pays to be listed, and I do not accept free products in exchange for a mention.
- Picks are chosen by what the job needs: published specifications, maker's safety information and a track record over time.
- Unless a page says otherwise, a pick is not a claim that I have personally tested that product.
- "Check price on Amazon" buttons go straight to that product's page. Links for general items, such as water containers or headlamps, go to an Amazon search so you can choose one.
- Where the better answer is to buy nothing, the guide says so.
Prices and availability
This site does not list prices, because they change daily. The price and availability shown on Amazon at the time you buy are the ones that apply.
The book
When the Lights Go Out: A Survival Guide is my own book. Links to it are affiliate links as well, and I also earn a royalty when it sells.
