By using campgearexperts.com you accept these terms. They are short, and the important part is the section on outdoor risk.
What this site is#
General educational information about camping equipment, drawn from published standards, physical constants and models whose assumptions are stated on the page. It is written to help you make your own decisions.
What this site is not#
It is not professional advice for your specific circumstances, and it is not a substitute for training, local knowledge, or the guidance of qualified people where that is appropriate.
Outdoor activity carries real risk, including risk of serious injury and death, from weather, cold, water, terrain, fire, fuel, wildlife and your own decisions. Conditions vary enormously by place and by season, and no page written in advance can account for the situation in front of you. You are responsible for assessing your own trip, your own competence and the conditions on the day.
Health-related pages, particularly water treatment and cold exposure, are general information only. Public health guidance varies by region and changes over time. Follow the guidance of your local health authority and land manager where it differs from anything written here, and consult a medical professional for advice about your own health.
Fuel, stoves and fire are dangerous when misused. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for your specific equipment, which take precedence over general guidance here, and observe local fire restrictions.
Electrical work, including 12 volt installations in vehicles, must be correctly specified, fused and installed. Where our pages describe how such systems work, that is explanation, not instruction to carry out the work yourself.
