For gear makers

Get your gear featured on Wild10Basecamp

Submit a product sample for an honest, independent review — guaranteed within 30 days of receipt — plus a one-month featured spot in front of our outdoor community.

How the program works

  1. Step 1

    Apply

    Tell us who you are, what you make, and which product you want reviewed. We read every submission.

  2. Step 2

    Get approved

    We green-light gear that fits our readers — small makers, unique niches, and genuinely useful outdoor tools.

  3. Step 3

    Send a sample

    Mail us one working sample. We only need one unit; we do not return samples after testing.

  4. Step 4

    Review in 30 days

    Once the sample arrives, we publish a full, honest review within 30 days — guaranteed.

  5. Step 5

    Featured for a month

    Your review gets a prime featured slot on our gear pages and newsletters for 30 days.

Truthful review guarantee

Wild10Basecamp reviews are independent. A featured slot buys placement and a guaranteed publish date — it does not buy a positive verdict. We photograph the gear, test it in the field or lab, and write what we honestly think. Every maker must agree to this before submitting.

Frequently asked questions

Does a featured review mean a positive review?
No. We test every sample honestly and publish what we find. A featured slot guarantees visibility and a full review, not a favorable verdict. Makers must acknowledge this before applying.
What kinds of gear do you accept?
Camping, backpacking, bushcraft, survival, paddling, fishing, climbing, and outdoor-adjacent tools and apparel. We especially like gear from small, under-the-radar makers.
How long does the featured spot last?
Each approved review is featured prominently for 30 days from the publish date.
Do I get the sample back?
No. Samples become test units for long-term evaluation and photography. Do not send anything you need returned.
Can I submit more than one product?
Yes, but start with one. After the first review is live, you can apply for additional products.
