How We Pick Gear

We believe in being upfront about how this site works.

What We Do

Tentside curates outdoor gear deals from trusted retailers like Backcountry. We pull product data automatically, focusing on items with meaningful discounts.

Our goal is simple: make it easy to find good deals on quality outdoor gear without wading through fake reviews or SEO fluff.

What We Don't Do

  • We don't test everything. We're not pretending to be gear experts who've hiked 10,000 miles with every product.
  • We don't write fake reviews. No "best tent ever" claims we can't back up.
  • We don't inflate discounts. The prices you see are pulled directly from retailers.

How Selection Works

We use a few signals to surface products:

  • Discount percentage: Products with significant price drops get priority.
  • Brand reputation: We focus on established outdoor brands.
  • Product availability: Only in-stock items are shown.

Prices Update Automatically

We refresh our product data daily. Prices, discounts, and availability are pulled directly from retailers, so what you see should be current. That said, deals can sell out fast—if something looks good, don't wait too long.

Affiliate Disclosure

Tentside earns a commission when you purchase through our links. This doesn't affect the price you pay—it's how we keep the site running.

We partner with retailers through AvantLink, an affiliate network. Our commissions come from the retailers, not from you.
