AFFILIATE DISCLOSURE

At UKSN, our mission is to provide valuable information, practical advice, and trusted resources to help you stay prepared, resilient, and informed. To help keep our content accessible and support our ongoing work, we use affiliate links throughout our website.

Understanding Our Use of Affiliate Links

Affiliate links are special tracking links provided by companies that reward us for referring customers to their products or services. When you click on one of these links and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission - at no extra cost to you.

This system allows us to recommend tools and products we genuinely believe in, while earning a little to help fund UKSN.

How Does This Benefit You?

    •    No Additional Cost: You pay the same price as you would if you visited the retailer directly.
   •    Support for UKSN: Commissions help fund our content, operations, and community initiatives—keeping most of what we do free for everyone.

OUR APPROACH TO REVIEWS & RECOMMENDATIONS

We’re committed to honesty, transparency, and trust. Here’s how we approach product mentions and reviews:

 

  • We are never paid to say nice things. Some products may be supplied to us for testing, but we are not paid to write reviews.

  • Many items featured on our site are purchased by us directly, with our own money, simply because we wanted to test them in the field.

  • We would never promote or recommend a product unless we would personally use it ourselves - whether that’s out camping, in a real emergency, or as part of everyday preparedness, and thats a promise!

  • Every review or recommendation is based on genuine field use, real-world testing, and honest opinion. If something doesn’t meet our standards, we’ll say so.

Why This Matters

Your trust is important to us. We aim to be a reliable and unbiased source of information in a world full of sponsored noise. By being transparent about how affiliate links work and how we use them, we hope to build a stronger, more honest relationship with our readers.
