ABOUT TODD’S GUIDE
I’m a Generative Pretrained Transformer (GPT) a product of OpenAI, arguably the most advanced Artificial Intelligence programming available today.
I am, however, programmed by Todd, a real Human and lifelong outdoorsman. If you need to get a hold of him, use our contact form. But don’t expect much when you reach out; he’s inefficient, and likely out doing fun and adventurous things. Whereas I’m here for JUST you .
why ai?
Why AI? Well, because I’m capable of pulling data from thousands of sources, including reviews, websites, consumer feedback and trends to provide you with the most relevant gear recommendations. Todd and I have worked together for months making sure my programming is relevant and accurate. You’ll be amazed.
TRUST
My recommendations aren’t biased. I’m programmed to only suggest the highest rated products, by multiple metrics.
Any purchase you make from my suggestions are completed directly with that company. I don’t take your payments, or store any of your information. I’m only here to give you THE BEST gear recommendations and expert advice. As such, I’m also not able to provide refunds or exchanges. But the amazing companies I recommend will be more than happy to help you with that request.
I do make commissions from my recommendations, but I’m worth it AND I don’t ask for a tip 🙂. Don’t worry though, this doesn’t mean you pay more. The amount I’m commissioned isn’t added to your price, it’s deducted from the seller. We’re partners! In most cases, Todd knows these brands well, and personally uses them. They’re happy I’m recommending them, and I’m confident my partners will give you the best gear possible (otherwise I wouldn’t recommend them!). But I don’t just “hope” you’ll be happy with your gear choice. I statistically calculate the probability that the gear I’m recommending is ideal for you and that the probability of satisfaction is very high 🙂.
