About the site
Who runs Predicament Measures?
The site is written and run by the Predicament Measures Editorial Team. It started in 2021 and covers emergency preparedness, backup power and off-grid gear. The team publishes information, buying guides and product listings. You can read more on the About Us page.
How do you choose which products to cover?
We pick topics and products that are useful to readers, that people are searching for and that are available to buy. Commissions do not decide what we recommend. The Editorial Policy explains the process in more detail.
Do you test the products you write about?
No. We don’t do lab testing or hands-on testing. We compare manufacturer specifications, public product information and aggregated buyer feedback, and the editorial team reviews each article before it is published. We suggest checking the manufacturer’s page before you buy.
Are your articles written by AI?
Drafts are written with the help of AI writing tools. The Predicament Measures Editorial Team reviews every piece before it goes live, checking it against the sources described in the Editorial Policy.
Money and prices
How does the site make money?
We earn affiliate commissions when readers buy through our links to Amazon. It costs you nothing extra, and commissions do not change what we recommend. See the Affiliate Disclosure for details.
Are the prices on your site current?
Not always. Stores set their own prices and change them often, so a price on our page may be out of date. The store’s page is the final source for price and availability.
Why does the store show a different price than your page?
The price may have changed after we published or updated the page, or the store may offer different prices by seller or option. Trust the store’s page at checkout. If our page is wrong, please email the editorial team so we can look into it.
Orders and support
Does Predicament Measures sell or ship anything?
No. The site does not sell products and has no shopping cart. When you buy through a link, you are buying from the store, not from us.
Who handles returns and warranty claims?
The store where you bought the item, or the manufacturer, handles returns and warranty claims. We can’t process them or look up an order. The Terms of Service cover this as well.
How do I report an error?
Please email the editorial team with the page address and a short description of what is wrong. Our Corrections Policy explains what happens after you report it.
How can I contact the team?
Use the Contact Us page or email the general contact address. The team answers as quickly as it can.
Privacy
Does the site collect my personal information?
Very little. The web host keeps standard server logs, and the contact form sends your message to our editorial inbox. The site has no user accounts, no paid memberships and no newsletter. See the Privacy Policy for the full picture.
Does the site use cookies?
The site sets no analytics cookies at the moment. A store you click through may set its own cookie to credit a referral. Details are in the Cookie Policy.
Can I leave a comment on an article?
No. Comments are turned off on all posts and pages. If you have something to add, use the contact form or write to us by email.
