How we keep Campfire Magazine alive

Campfire Magazine takes part in some affiliate advertising programmes, including Amazon. These programmes let websites such as this earn money by linking to reputable companies. Some of our articles, therefore, contain affiliate links. This means that if you click on them to buy anything, Campfire will get a small percentage of the price (at no cost to you, of course). This helps to pay for the upkeep of this site.
