Special Preparedness Issue will mail Monday
The Special Preparedness Issue will be mailed to subscribers Monday. Our Wisconsin printer, which does the mailing, sent us six advance copies Friday. Midstate subscribers can expect their issue this week, while both coasts will probably get theirs next week.
An important note for new subscribers (if you signed up in the last two weeks): You will have to wait a bit longer to get your issue as it takes time to get your name in our system. We’ll mail your first issue from our Oregon office after we get our bulk quantities from the printer in about a week. In the future, you’ll get your new issue sent directly from the printer.
This new issue will take about two weeks to reach the newsstands where I predict it will sell out in a week. The demand for it has been very heavy.

I love reading your blog and I enjoy Backwoods Home Magazine. Thank you for the great advice, it is always top rate. The Special Preparedness Issue should be a great success with readers. I
publish a related blog (The Survivalist Blog) and I have seen my traffic go way up over the last month, could be people are getting wise and looking for help, in preparing for the big one.
all the best

I have a question about your plan for CD-ROMS and anthologies. I have all of both. I believe that the anthologies just get added to over time, and it’s an ongoing project. What about the CD-ROMS? They seem “incomplete”. Is it your intent to eventually have everything on CD-ROM as well as print, even if it’s scanned copies?
Kind Regards.

Yes. As we can afford to, we try to put both paper anthologies and CD-ROM anthologies out. I doubt if we’ll do the earliest anthologies on CD-ROM as it’s a huge and costly scanning project that will probably not look very good in the end.
The earlier issues of the magazine were produced in the days when we had to send photos to the printer to scan, so we don’t have very many of the original photos to scan ourselves now; we’d have to scan from the issues, which produces very marginal photos.
I’m sure the technology is there to produce an acceptable CD-ROM from the earlier issues, but it ultimately comes down to cost vice can we sell enough to justify it. CD-ROMs do not sell well.

Just wanted to let you know that the article on grains was the best to date. I really appreciated all the gluten free choices the author gave. Jackie was awesome as usual.
Thanks!
