This periodical is definitely worth the money. We have retired and moved from a suburban area in a smaller town to a very rural area. There have been so may tips which have saved us money and time! I look forward to each edition.

My husband and I love this magazine. We enjoy reading
All the topics. Since I can just about everything, I love the
Information on the questions that people are asking and
The answers you reply too. We have chickens and a garden
So of course we learn a lot about those items as well.
And my husband loves the gun section as well. Keep up
The good works and we look forward to future issues.

I have been a subscriber to this magazine for a long time. It is filled with practical and down to earth information and practical hacks. I have eliminated several of my magazine subscriptions but will not allow this one to ever run out.

By far the best magazine on the market.
I would recommend it to anyone who wants a more self sufficient lifestyle. Also, love the Jackie Clay articles.

I gave a gift subscription to a neighbor, a young fellow starting on his homestead journey with goats and sheep. He and his family love it! I’ve given many gift subscriptions over the years (since 2005) and will continue to do so! Thanks for such a great publication.

Love this magazine!!
Sherry Hill –
I subscribed to BH many years ago when I had a country home and absolutely loved it. I am old now with limited mobility and live in a more urban location but share BH with anyone I think would appreciate it. My brother got a new home on 3 acres last year so I gave this subscription to him for his birthday. He was thrilled and loves it too.
John Tonione –
Lots of good information in the magazines, from folks actually practicing the craft.

I look forward to getting Backwoods Magazine every quarter. I always enjoy reading all the articles (it is packed full of interesting articles about all things homestead) and how to apply the information into our daily lives. It is a fun and knowledgeable magazine that I recommend to anyone wanting to become more self-sufficient. If you order this magazine, you will not be disappointed. My husband and I LOVE Backwoods Home Magazine!

This magazine and the sister magazine, Self-Reliance, are the only two print magazines we still subscribe to. Not only do we subscribe but we read them cover to cover and keep them in our library for future reference. These contain great articles written by people who are actually living the life. And I love the cover art!
Brandy Riley –
Super packed with all kinds of interesting articles and info! My husband and I grew up in families who taught us nothing as far as these life skills are concerned and we have chosen to escape the city, move to the country, and homestead as much as we learn how to. This magazine is amazing! Worth every penny! Plus beautiful and captivating pictures and we love that it’s in print for us to touch, feel, and smell the pages (vs reading from the internet). Thank you for continuing this amazing magazine that my farm raised friend told me about! We love it!
C Barnes –
I got this magazine primarily for tips on raising chickens, but I have found so much more within its pages. Thank you for a wholesome and helpful magazine!

I absolutely love this magazine! There is always something that is useful and applies to me and my family!
Wendy O’Neill –
Backwoods Home is an investment. These magazines have so much practical information and plenty of interesting articles. The only way this magazine could improve is to become a monthly publication! Buy a subscription for yourself and buy gift subscriptions for your family and friends so you don’t have to loan out your copies and risk never getting them back.
Jeanie Siggaard –
One of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The articles are well written and informative, as well as inspiring, and a great resource. I don’t know where the paper is sourced, but this is no thin, flimsy paper. It feels good in my hands.

Have been reading articles on the magazine web site for several years. Decided it was time for subscription.

Great magazine. Love the variety. Takes me back to my childhood running thru the woods. I have already used many of the things I have learned. !!
Marcy Finney –
Oh my! I have received my first issue and read it from cover to cover. There is so much information within the pages of this magazine. There was a special section on Elderberries. I’m going to try the recipes since we have many Elderberries that grow wild. This is the type of magazine you save for years as a reference. For anyone on the fence about ordering, DO IT!
George –
Absolutely LOVE that magazine, every issue puts hope back into my heart

This came across as an advertisement & for the first time ever I took a shot & 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.
