About gear reviews & links on our blog and website:
When we write about products and gear in the blog, website and books these are our personal views on the items. We are not paid to give reviews. These are unsolicited views. We have been approached on doing blogs for payment, and have turned it down to staying ethically moral. We want our reviews to be unbiased. We buy all of the items we review. If you notice a pattern in reviews and see a companies name pop up often, this is a company we love.

If you see links on the website and blog to Amazon.com and WildernessDining.com, we are part of affiliate programs with them. When you go through our portal to Amazon.com and WildernessDining.com and if you place an order, we do receive a small amount of money back. This money from the affiliate program goes to pay for the website costs. This allows us to run a free website. We post links to help our readers find hard-to-get products and to see clearly what we are talking about when discussing gear. We do thank you for using the portals and helping support the site!

Nutritional Information:
All information on the website and in our books is our personal writing. We are not nutritionists nor are we professional chefs. In the past we have been asked about whether we would provide nutrition counts on recipes. For now we are not doing it  as the software is not reliable in providing correct amounts. There are a number of free resources to determine calorie counts online if one wants to try it.
On subjects such as low sodium diets, we are presenting what has worked for us personally. As always, if you have dietary and health concerns, talk to your doctor first.

Disclaimer:
While no one I know has had any bad occurrences on the trail using freezer bags (ie. leakers, blowouts, etc) there is a small chance of it occurring.  So make sure you pay attention, set the freezer bag in front of you as you pour the water, be careful when pouring the boiling water and don't do it in your lap
Use common sense in cooking in the outdoors, just like you would at home. All sports run injury risks, and cooking has a multitude of chances of hurting yourself (hot stoves, water, knives, etc).
We as authors, do not take any responsibility for the use of of any materials or methods described on this website, or in our books, nor of any products mentioned in them.

For those on Low Sodium Diets:

If you are on a low sodium diet, don't despair. There is quite a bit you can eat when in the outdoors. You just have to think your menus out, and plan well. If there are ingredients you cannot find, drop us an email, we can tell you where to find them.  When I was first put on a low sodium diet, I had no idea what I could eat. But as the months went by, I found that I could eat almost everything I liked, I just had to change the recipes a bit. This has helped when backpacking with others not on a special diet. For our indepth article of eating a low sodium diet while being active, click here.
