The wisdom contained in this journal is being lost to the new age. That makes this publication all the more valuable. A wealth of info on living off the land and being far more resourceful with your lifestyle. If you are a do-it-yourselfer, you will find lots of great info in here. From raising chickens to building cabins to homemade tipis, Backwoods Home teaches sustainability in a disposable world.

Absolutely LOVE that magazine; every issue puts hope back into my heart.

This came across as an advertisement, and for the first time ever, I took a shot, and it is amazing. Absolutely informative and educational. If you’re interested in the concepts, new to the country life, or living it, there is something everyone can take away. Get a subscription; you won’t regret it.

I love this magazine and also Self-Reliance Magazine! They have changed my life and my whole way of providing for my family. I HIGHLY recommend them, whether you are off-grid, a full-time homesteader, or a hybrid homesteader. Excellent content for many different categories. A great resource.

I stopped other subscriptions because your magazine is simply the best.

Rebecca Stiles

This publication gives the real-life solutions to living off-grid or living simply in the country. It's written by those who are out there doing it, not someone reading a book and lecturing everyone else about stuff they really don't know beans about. I lived off-grid from 1997 until 2015. These folks know what they are talking about.

Backwoods Home Magazine is encyclopedic in knowledge and skills for those brave enough to live in out-of-the-way places. Very readable. Very enjoyable. This is an antidote for much of the nonsense of modern living.

I have been a subscriber for a very long time and still am thrilled to find Backwoods Home Magazine in my mailbox. Every issue has something new and interesting in it. The regular contributors seem like old friends. Thank you for not selling out to big business – we love you just as you are.
