Products we have reviewed
Four products, four honest pages. These are the only pages on this site that carry affiliate links, and each one says so next to every button. Everything else here, all nine calculators and every guide, is free of them.
How the money works. If you buy through a link on one of these four pages, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. That is the whole business model, and it is the reason the calculators stay free. It never changes what a page says: we publish the price, the terms and the parts we would skip.
What we have looked at
- 1.Water Freedom SystemDigital build plans for a water-from-air rig, plus the household water plan that tells you how many gallons your house actually needs.Worth a look if your dew point is high. The same chapter's air-water page shows what your climate allows before you spend anything.
- 2.Smart Water BoxDigital build plans, not a device, with roughly $106 of parts on top. The seller gives 60 days.Humidity decides this one. Dry inland states get very little out of it, and we say so on the page.
- 3.Medicinal Garden KitA box of non-GMO seeds for ten cottage-garden plants people have grown for generations, with a growing guide.A gardening project, not a treatment. Nothing on our page claims any plant cures anything.
- 4.The Forager's Guide to Wild FoodsA printed and digital guide to 400+ edible wild plants, with colour photographs and the poisonous look-alikes beside them.Read our free foraging rules first. A book is not a substitute for ruling a plant out before you eat it.
Why these four and nothing else
We only write about something when we can check a claim against a public number. That rules out most of what this niche sells. For each of the four above, the review states the price, what arrives, what the seller promises, and at least one reason a reader might not want it.
We have not used any of them ourselves, and every page says so at the top. What we do instead is measure the problem they claim to solve: how much water your house needs, what your climate allows, how long your state loses power. Those are the nine tools, and they are the honest way to judge any product here, including ours.
What you will never find: an invented testimonial, a claim that a plant cures anything, a countdown, or a page that hides the affiliate link until after the pitch.
