Greetings!

I am Douglas Beaumont, the creator behind Backcountry Pilgrim – a hiking, camping, and backpacking online resource on numerous social media platforms including:
YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and Amazon. (I even still have a Blog!)

I have worked closely with numerous brands to help them get the word out about their gear. Examples include Decathlon, Durston Gear, Foxelli, Get Out Gear, Hilltop Packs, Nemo Equipment, Outdoor Vitals, PACT Outdoors, Sierra Design, Six Moon Design, Vont, and Zenbivy.

If you want a product featured in a video, contact me via e-mail at backcountrypilgrim@gmail.com. Making such a request indicates that you have read, understood, and agree with the following terms and policies.

Review Guidelines

  • All expectations for a review need to be discussed before the product is sent.
  • Reviews will be honest regardless of how I attain the gear, and will be disclosed per YouTube policy.
  • I will not write an Amazon review in a manner that violates their terms of service (e.g., purchasing products for reimbursement or performing scripted searches).
  • I need time to test products and my channel’s schedule is usually planned months out.
  • If I cannot in good conscience give a product a positive review, I will let you know.
  • My content may not be re-used in any way unless we have a contractual agreement to do so (see below).

    There are three general types of videos I offer: review, sponsored, and production.
  • Review: This is a standard review video where I go over the specs and important attributes of a piece of gear, show it in use, and include my personal appraisal of the gear’s usefulness. Products may be reviewed in a single, dedicated video or an integrated video (e.g., topical or gear comparison). If you send me gear to review, that’s great – but simply sending me gear does not guarantee a review.
  • Sponsored: I give a clear advertisement of a product or service in videos, shorts, or social media posts. Sponsored content begins at $100 with the total fee determined by factors such as length, content type, upload deadline, and product value. All of this would be settled ahead of time and sponsorship is made clear in the content itself.
  • Commercial: I create content (videos or images) for the use of a company. These are not Backcountry Pilgrim branded or copyrighted. These start at $500 with the total fee determined by factors such as length or shoot requirements.

I appreciate your taking the time to read this and I hope these terms and policies will make our collaboration more enjoyable and successful!
