  1. Russell Gibby –

    I really like Backwoods Home and Self Reliance magazines. You can read these magazines and learn many things you didn’t already know and learn more about things you did know. They also make you think. The only bad thing about these magazines is the fact that they aren’t enough issues per year.

  2. Karen Carroll –

    Enjoyed it look forward to getting more….

  3. Sherri –

    I love Backwoods Home magazine and have used a lot of the advice within their articles. The magazine is practical and well written. The issue of Self Reliance which I received recently, seems to be geared more for a suburban or apartment dweller, and I find I want to return to Backwoods Home – which they have graciously allowed me to do. I have nothing negative per se with Self Reliance, but found more of my particular rural needs addressed in Backwoods Home. Thank you for a great publication!

  4. Terry –

    Backwoods Home and Self Reliance magazines are the only magazines I still subscribe to. There is so much useful information shared in the magazines that there’s something for everyone. I hope for many many years of publication to come.

    I love the wealth of knowledge these magazines have! I haven’t received one that I didn’t like. I plan on keeping this subscription for years to come.

    Love Backwoods Home!
    Received the first issue of Self-Reliance and, for me, it was so-so.
    But, I shouldn’t rate the magazine on one issue.
    I just received the second issue and the articles sound interesting.

  8. Greg Blaser –

    I started with backwoods in the early 1990s. I enjoyed it very much and now continue to enjoy it and have just started self-reliance and look forward to reading them both. Iam glad the Duffy family is carrying the tradition on. I look forward to seeing the new people they will bring to the magazines also.

  9. Liz –

    Something for everyone. Love the homestead advice, the gardening tips, the recipes and articles on how to keep animals! Looking forward to getting the next edition.

  10. Marilyn –

    I am a 77 year old country kind of woman. We live on a farm. My husband and I have been married 60 years coming up in a couple of months. I follow, on You Tube, a young lady by the name of Ruth Ann Zimmerman from Homesteading with the Zimmermans. She introduced her subscribers to these two wonderful publications of yours. I am thrilled with the content and work that goes in to these two wonderful publications. I even got a special container to keep my new found favorite magazines stored in on my shelf. Ruth Ann was right on the money when she suggested these publications as being well worth every dime. I love them!

  11. Kim Storey LaBarbera –

    I love your magazine! I look forward to continuing to learn and be more self reliant.

  12. Mary Werner –

    I find this VERY interesting reading. Love the articles and recipes. Love the information. Love to gift this to friends.

  13. Yvonne –

    What invaluable publications! Wish I had known about these years ago. Thanks to RuthAnn at Homesteading with the Zimmermans for informing her viewers about Backwoods Home and Self-Reliance. While we don’t have livestock or a big garden, we employ many other aspects of homesteading and a traditional foods kitchen. Even the articles that don’t directly apply to our version of homesteading are impactful and interesting to read. Who knows – maybe livestock and a big garden are in our future. Therefore, I’m saving each issue for my resource library. Keep up the great work!

  14. Gail –

    Really enjoy this magazine. Easy reading with lots of information. Things new to me and not-so-new but adopting the things I find useful for myself. I do share many of the articles with others who have an interest in the subject matter. So many people depend on the computer for their information, but that’s not like sitting by the wood fire with a good paper document. Keep it up.

  15. Roger –

    I subscribe to both Self-Reliance and Backwoods Home magazines and have for several years now. They are the best ones in this area and I always look forward to their arrival, especially when the USPS doesn’t tear them up trying to get them to me!

    Love these magazines. Practical and useful information presented in a readable and useable format. My entire family reads through them consistently.

  19. Dawne –

    I used to subscribe to both these magazines, and when we moved in 2021, I didn’t renew. I have missed getting these every month! Full of great information
