seems like another simple amazon affiliate store looking to steal SEO rankings with bad reviews of products they have never really laid eyes on. wasn't panda created to help stop this kind of stuff? sorry to be critical, but i think review sites should be thought out, honest and real, rather then a money grab.

or am i missing something?

Thanks for the feedback, I totally understand your reservations with all the crap out there on the internet.

We just thought a thorough resource for digital nomad gear should exist so we did a weekend project to create one.

A lot of the products aren't even on Amazon. It's a mix of stuff that we own and use, suggestions from friends and people on the nomad slack gear channel. Almost all of our content is original by the way.

Right now we're thinking of ways to make it more user content based, like finding experienced nomads to share what they use (gear lists). Also ranking products by users and/or user entered products.
