My sister (lives on a small property in Florida, on disability) and I live in a townhouse in Maryland with practically no yard. We both fell in love with your magazine several years ago, so I got us both long term subscriptions. We have both learned so much that we have taken up canning (thank you, Jackie) and my sister has just put in a large garden. I have to buy my produce – but hey – if Jackie keeps telling us how to do it all – we are ‘gung ho’ to try it.

BHM is the ONLY magazine that we both get so excited about. We call each other the minute our subscriptions hit our mailboxes – although her last name comes before mine in the Alphabet so she gets her copy first….I’m jealous. LOL What we love best about BHM is the fact that you don’t have to be a farmer or a hunter to put into practice all the terrific ideas that you come up with.

Our vote is the same as everyone else – we don’t need other magazines – this one will do! The money we aren’t spending on other magazines will be spent on renewing BHM forever……oh yes, and buying canning jars.

Massad Ayoob’s articles have prompted me to take shooting lessons – haven’t found a gun I can afford yet, in the meantime, I can throw canning jars at em.

Annie’s article on diapers is priceless! For a future grandmother who sews, I can now be a blessing to young families.

We both want to follow Jeff Yago’s directions and make solar systems.

Sadly, we agree with Charlie Reed – perhaps we can all take our Anthology collections to those re-education camps – boy, are we going to be in good company!! Keep up the terrfic work troops – we’re with ya.

Besides, you just can’t relax next to the woodstove and read a computer screen. BWH is meant to be enjoyed over and over again or shared with friends.
Best Regards,
