Customer Reviews of Backwoods Home Magazine

Magazine good, Company very bad
Buyer beware of this company. I purchased a full year subscription and after waiting 8 weeks I contacted the company, they denied receiving my payment, then found the payment and sent one issue. Then I did not receive the next 2 issues so I called again. I was told basically too bad for you, we have the Jan/Feb issue, but we only have one issue of Mar/Apr and if you don't pay us $4.00 each for shipping and handling right now by credit card to get the last two issues then they'll probably just disappear. I already paid for the subscription and checking with PO (who they blamed it on) I was told no way would their media shipping be $4.00 per magazine. What a ripoff. Then 3 days after my last call with them I get an issue in the mail almost 2 months early. The next issue, if I receive it, will be the laston my subscription. I will have gotten half of my subscription. I wrote to the editor (Dad of the employees) and he has never responded to me at all. This is a very poorly run company. You can get the information they provide very easily off the Net for free, and Mother Earth News is a much better magazine and company. Beware, they do not care about the customer at all.

Excellent source of self-reliant ideas
Have subscribed to mother earth news, countryside, and the now defunct american survival guide, to name a few. This magazine is the best by far. This magazine is written by people that not only believe in self-reliant living but who live it as well. It is written from their experiences that give credability to the articles found within the magazine.

I don¿t think much deserves 5 Stars, but this magazine does.
Backwoods Home is a wonderful resource for the homesteader, do-it-yourselfer, preparedness people, and the just generally frugal. Every couple months, a myriad of articles shows up on my door step, covering topics like building a wood fence, foraging for wild plants, the right way to pressure can elk, what and where our civil liberties are going and Lord knows what else! It's a cornucopia of independence.

One way I explained this magazine to a friend was, "It's better than Mother Earth News, and without the left-wing spin." The publishers are a small operation, and that keeps a 'down home' feel to the magazine I like.

Here's how to tell if you'ld like this magazine. If thinking about Carla Emery's "Encyclopedia of Country Living", John Seymour's "Guide to Self Sufficiency", "Back to Basics", "101 Things to do till the Revolution", "Five Acres and Independence", "Handy Farm Devices and How to Make Them" gives you a warm fuzzy. Or you own a grain mill, vegatable garden, pressure canner, livestock, hunting rifle, or have heard of a HDR - you will probably like this magazine.
