Advice or Questions?
If you have any questions about outdoors gear, please feel free to drop me a line and I will be glad to help you make an informed buying decision where I can. If you have questions about writing reviews, I’ll also be glad to help. I would also suggest you read this handy little guide written a by fellow Outdoors Advisor Yakkowarner.

How I Rate Reviews
Very Helpful
I give a Very Helpful rating on the majority of my ratings. The review should give a good Thorough description of the film, book or product. It should also contain the pros and cons to the product being reviewed. The review should also contain your final analysis or conclusion. You should also read your review before posting it. Check for proper grammar and spelling. Most reviews that include the above information will include three to six paragraphs. There are exceptions; some products do not warrant long reviews. How much can you say about a good coat hanger that you want to review?
Helpful
I give out more than a few Helpful ratings. Generally, I rate Helpful because the review fails to provide enough information. Another reason is that someone will give an overview a film, book or other product with little analysis. Another reason is poor grammar and spelling. It's too easy not to do a spell check.
Somewhat Helpful
Again I give out a few Somewhat Helpful ratings. The biggest reason for receiving a Somewhat Helpful rating for me is because of a lack of information and analysis. Most two paragraph reviews will get this rating from me. One paragraph rating will usually fall into the express reviews where they can be rated Show or Don't Show. When I give this rating it's almost always a lack of information. Remember to check grammar and spelling.
Not Helpful
I do not give many ratings of Not Helpful. I give these ratings to someone who is posting obscene garbage or nonsence. This is not the place to post that sort of stuff.
Off Topic
You have reviewed the wrong product! Make sure your reviewing the right product. If the product is not listed on the epinions database, just request that your product be added. You can do that right here:
