We are not a tax exempt organization because we do not accept payment or donations of any kind so there is nothing to file taxes on. Any gear we review is stuff we bought ourselves. We don't take free stuff just to write about it. Our opinions are those of a couple old retired guys, we've been wrong before, we're okay with that.
