Our whole family looks forward to receiving the Self-reliance and Backwoods home magazines! The articles are very useful and interesting. The children’s favorite thing is the joke page! We wish there were more joke pages. Overall it’s a great magazine!
Mary Olle –
Best, most informative magazines I receive. I read them from cover to cover the moment I receive them. Wish they came out at least every 2 months!

I love, love, LOVE these magazines!
Rob Girard –
Fantastic magazines that are good reading. Glad to see it return to print a few years back. This is a must have subscription as far as I’m concerned.

Love both magazines! I’m stuck in an urban hive for assorted reasons, but they let me visualize a more rural future. Many of the articles serve as primers to common aspects of homestead living (or at least the ideal version), and the writers clearly do their research and are living the lifestyle they write about. There’s also a variety of recipes included in each issue, and the ‘Country Moments’ photos never fail to bring a smile to my face. I’ve not only kept my own subscription going, but also bought gift subs for friends so they could enjoy it as well. Highly recommended.

The simplest way I can put it is these magazines are full of a wealth of information. If the internet every crashes these magazines will be worth their weight in gold.
Linda –

As a person of a certain age, I feel right at home within the pages of Backwoods Home. I learn something in each issue and I always look forward to the illustrations
Rebecca Stiles –
I stopped other subscriptions because your magazines are simply the best.
Charles Miller –
We love the magazine, it keeps us close to our homesteading vision, teaches us new things and takes us back to a time once forgotten.

Raised by Norwegian immigrant family who literally homesteaded in log cabins and were purebred Guernsey dairy farmers in SE MN. You guys got it right and continue to add to my knowledge. These were Christmas gifts for my granddaughter and her intended as they are intent on this living style. Bless you!!

It’s very comfortable reading the articles in these magazines – I can tell they’re written by normal friendly people trying to make their way through the hard work of building their lives in a more self-reliant way, and I feel like you can really relate to them. The recent article (Q1-2024) about counting the cost of living in a trailer while building a house (and doubling any estimate of how long it will take) could have been ghost-written by my daughter and son-in-law – almost everything that happened to the couple who wrote the story has happened to my kids, so it was very relatable. I just wish they’d had a chance to read it before they started building:-)
Eric Shearer Sr. –
My wife and I look forward to receiving each new issue. From the jokes, to gardening, to useful homestead tips, your magazine is a wealth of useful and interesting topics. I ordered a subscription for my son and his family. He loves it too!
Robert Florence –
Wonderful magazine with detailed and immersing reading material. Definitely a 10/10.
Stephen Schwarz –
I was looking for the perfect gift for my parents and this is it! They absolutely love it, and can’t wait for it to arrive.
Cindy Hotchkiss –
I love this magazine and also Self Reliance Magazine!!!!! It has changed my life and my whole way of providing for my family. I HIGHLY recommend it whether you are off grid, a homesteader full time or a hybrid homesteader. Excellent content for many different categories. A great resource.
Kim Cannon –
I love both magazines. They are very informative and I keep each addition. Thank you.
J Hart –
My husband prefers Backwoods Home and I love Self-Reliance. They both offer so much valuable information, especially in the world we live in today! I think we have incorporated at least one thing from every issue we have received of each publication! It is also so nice to have a written resource as opposed to depending on the internet for everything.

My daughter brought these magazines back from New Hampshire to Vancouver WA. I love the “old fashioned” feel to the designs and the practical how to essential tools which used to be handed down through family. When technology goes down I’ll be glad to have these magazines to reference. Cheers
Sarah Ruganis –
Thank you! The magazine is very helpful and enjoyable.
Tracey Burnash –
Long time subscriber, thank you for publishing. Love your authors, old and new, Massad Ayoob, John Silvera, Jackie Clay, Patrice Lewis and all the others make for very good info. I have been “living the life” for a long time but usually find many bits of help in every issue.
Sharon French –
I am now on limited income and have cut back on some magazines, but not this one, absolutely the best info w/interesting articles relevant to my lifestyle!
Melvin dodson –
Great magazines, I always look forward to the next issue. Keep up the good work, Thanks
Lori F –
We have subscribed to Backwoods Home & Self-Reliance magazines for years. We also purchased the entire back issue anthologies. Even though we have homesteaded for years, we still learn new things and also enjoy every issue that is mailed to us. It’s perfect for beginner, intermediate and advanced homesteaders!
LEE ALLEN AASEE –
These magazines put mother earth news to shame. They are great in every aspect. Helps those trying to learn. I told a friend here about it and she loves it too. She raises peacocks. She is looking into getting bee hives too. My wife loves it too. Everyone i show it to, loves it instantly. I want to get Three Bears to start selling your publications. Thank you for providing this super great materials.
Linda Dickey –
Your magazines and books are so helpful. Look forward to getting them to read

We live on a small acreage, and occasionally get motivated to do one of the projects in the magazine (I get both) and always learn a bunch about what we could be doing and sometimes get inspired about something we knew nothing about. I would say either publication is well worth it for the treasury of lore and info available therein, especially if you utilize the articles available on line for your specific interests. If I had to choose one, I’d go with the original Backwoods Home, because of the firearms-related contributions by Massad Ayoob. Protecting your “ranch”, big or small is a critical concern, eh?
Dinah Billings –
I love both of your magazines and look forward to them! The articles are great and my husband loves the gun articles. I’ve also gotten several of your books, Jackie’s canning book is one of my top 3 canning books. Thank you so much for continuing these magazines. I save every one for later reference.
Keith Zimmerman –
always nice to have, got helpful hints and information..
Sara Burgin –
Both magazines are great. I look forward to reading these two magazines and have learned so much from the topics in them.. They just give me great information about subject matter that could someday be very useful to me even though I do not live on a farm.
