About Steve’s Blog & Editorial Standards

Welcome to Steve’s blog, where we provide reviews and insights on adventure activities, outdoor equipment, and clothing to help adventurers and outdoor enthusiasts spend less time researching and more time on adventures. 

Editorial Standards & Mission Statement

Our mission is to provide real, accurate and helpful information to our readers, and we uphold high editorial standards to ensure the quality and integrity of our content.

Why I Do Reviews

I love learning, researching, and testing new products. Over time, I’ve learned that there is a community out there for everything, including adventure and I want to be the source that provides real information to help other outdoor enthusiasts make informed decisions.

By sharing my personal experiences and conducting thorough research, I aim to provide honest and unbiased reviews that our readers can trust

How I Conduct Research For My Articles

Though we strive to personally test every product we review, there may be instances where this is not feasible.

To maintain the highest quality of our reviews, we undertake comprehensive research by examining feedback from reputable sources like Trustpilot, Feefo, Reddit, and other credible review platforms that feature consumer feedback. We then combine our analysis with this research to formulate a well-informed and unbiased product review.

Our approach guarantees that our readers are equipped with the right information to make informed buying decisions.

At Steve’s blog, we follow to a systematic process to assure the quality and reliability of our content.

This process comprises meticulous research, product testing when possible, and presenting an honest and objective review. We’re steadfast in our commitment to transparency and integrity, and these values are reflected in all our endeavours.
