Editorial & Commercial Disclosures

Not Lost Or Found shares personal experience, photography, travel ideas, creative resources, and recommendations from Shannon Roberts. This page explains how commercial relationships are handled so readers can evaluate that content clearly.

Editorial independence

Recommendations are based on genuine experience, research, or editorial judgment. Payment, a free product, a hosted trip, or another business relationship does not purchase a positive opinion. Material limitations or concerns are included when they are relevant to the recommendation.

Affiliate links

Some future pages may contain affiliate links. If you purchase through one of those links, Not Lost Or Found may receive a commission at no additional cost to you. Affiliate relationships will be disclosed clearly near the relevant recommendation or link; this general page is not used as a substitute for an easy-to-see disclosure where the recommendation appears.

Sponsored and gifted content

Paid partnerships, sponsored content, gifted products, hosted experiences, and other material relationships will be labeled clearly and conspicuously in the content itself. Sponsored work reflects Shannon’s honest opinions and experience.

Photography and conditions

Photographs may be color-corrected, retouched, blended, stitched, or otherwise edited as part of the creative process. They show a moment and an artistic interpretation—not a guarantee of current weather, access, crowds, vegetation, water levels, visibility, or what a location will look like when another person visits.

Free resources

Free tools, presets, maps, checklists, and recommendations are provided for general informational, editorial, or creative use. “Free” means no purchase is required to access the resource unless a page clearly states otherwise. Use of outdoor and travel information remains subject to the Terms of Use and Outdoor Activity Disclaimer.

Corrections

If you believe a recommendation contains a material factual error or an important relationship was not disclosed, please send the details through the contact page.
