The last print issue (expect it to be a collectible,hint, hint) of Backwoods Home magazine is now out. Read founder Dave Duffy’s profoundly moving goodbye editorial.
While it’s the end of an era, remember it’s not a death, it’s a transition: Backwoods Home will continue in digital format. A sign of the times, I guess.
The magazine’s redoubtable Lisa Nourse is to Backwoods Home what sergeants are to soldiers and cops: the person who supervises getting things done where the rubber meets the road. Lisa reminds me that I started writing for the magazine with the January 1995 issue.
It has been a long, fun run.
The Evil Princess, who had been a Backwoods Home reader before she and I met in the latter part of 2002, and I have been able to meet the whole Duffy family – and Lisa, and Jackie Clay, and Jeff Yago, and more – in person. Wonderful people, each and every one. It has been a joy meeting many of you readers in person over the years, as well.
Stay tuned. The digital edition continues as, of course, does this blog.

  1. Great news, I still want to meet you in person. Maybe some day, and on a different note, what are your impressions of the Gen5 glock.

  2. Hmm. A passing I suppose . But frankly I’ve never seen a print issue of BH mag. Didn’t even know such a thing existed. Guess that means there’s nothing but success for you in the digital age.

    Best wishes.

  3. Seems like just the other day when this decision was announced, now it’s happened. A business decision is just what this is, certainly not a death or end.
    Dave is 100% correct on that!
    Said it then, reiterating now – I am very glad this weblog continues. It is very fun and a great resource.
