Backwoodsman Mag

Riverwarrior · Feb 12, 2011

I've never seen "Backwoodsman" magazine before, so thanks to this forum, I picked up the latest issue at my local book store.

Nothing against the new electronic reading devices, but for myself, I still enjoy sitting down with my favorite beer or wine and actually turning the pages of a book or magazine.

By the way John, do you advertise in any other periodicals?

That's hands down my favorite magazine.

Hey Warrior! I don't think there is a better magazine anywhere, that I have run into anyway! It's the best hands down. It's the only magazine that I read cover to cover every two months. I have to actually pace myself, so that I don't run out of reading before the next one is due. There are even some of them that I go back and read a few times. Glad to have a new convert! And I think we all better enjoy turning actual paper pages while we can, because I really don't think it is going to be all that long before you won't be able to get actual paper book like we are used too, unless you go to a used bookstore. Take care and stay safe!

It's also probably one of the only mags that I re-read. I think I have every issue that I've ever bought and will pick them up over and over again.

I only advertise in Backwoodsman, and this will be the last year there. Costs way too much.

Same here. I also keep going back to the idea of getting the complete "best of" set.

I am sure that would be a good buy. I really should just bite the bullet and subscribe.

I was actually thinking of turning the Dollar Store Survival thread into an article and submitting it to BWM. Stomper told me they give you a free subscription if they print your article. Really appeals to my cheap side.

That's a great idea!

Based on y'alls recommendations, I just got my first copy of Backwoodsman. Very interesting. Just reading the letters now but already feel a kinship of some kind. Where else can you read about starting a dead truck with a chainsaw?

I'm basically a city dweller and computer hacker, but I grew up in the woods (CT) and have great affinity for survival skills, Native American lore, guns and knives, camping and general outdoor living.

Anyway, I hope this is the start of new and great adventures for me and my GF. We're both looking for places to camp out together.

Hands down my favorite mag. Some issues are way better than others but I do save them all, cause there is and has been some great info in them that I have gone back to time and time again. John its too bad it costs too much for you to advertise there. I guess it depends upon how much business you get from the advertising, your ad's are very noticable and cool especiallly since I know ya Im always braging when the mag is out or someone is looking at one and I see you ad " HEY I KNOW THAT GUY ! " either way great mag- Joel
