What You Need to Know About Our Recommendations
OffGridLivingGuide.com contains affiliate links to products and services that we recommend. This means we may earn a commission if you choose to purchase something through our links, at no additional cost to you.
How It Works
When you click on an affiliate link on our site and make a purchase from the external retailer (like Amazon, or other partners), we receive a small commission from the sale. This does not affect the price you pay – you pay the same price as if you had gone directly to the retailer’s website.
Our Affiliate Partners
We currently work with the following affiliate programs:
- Amazon Associates – Products from Amazon
- Direct partner programs – Specific manufacturers and retailers within the off-grid space
- Affiliate networks – Various retailers and service providers
Our Opinion Is Not Influenced
Even though we receive compensation through affiliate links, we want to be clear that:
- We only recommend products we believe in – All product recommendations are based on our own research, experience, or positive reviews from reliable sources
- Our integrity comes before profit – We will never recommend a product just because it offers higher commission
- We are honest about pros and cons – Our reviews and recommendations are balanced and fair
- We test when possible – When we have the opportunity to test products ourselves, we base our recommendations on firsthand experience
Different Types of Recommendations
Products we own/tested: These are clearly marked and based on personal experience.
Products we’ve researched: Based on extensive research, user reviews, specifications, and expert opinions.
Popular choices: Products that are well-known and well-reviewed within the off-grid community.
Transparency

You Decide
As a reader, you always have the option to:

We will never pressure you to buy anything – our goal is to give you useful information so you can make informed decisions.
