“I read lots of magazines for an hour every morning while drinking my morning coffee. I judge them all by the amount of time their on the table. Some last a day, other two or three days. I got my first Backwoodhome about a month ago............it's still on the table.”

“Get at least this subscription for both magazines and never cancel!!! These are a joy to read and I only wish I had a library full already! I tell everyone I know about these if they are at all inclined to this lifestyle. I also love to give subscriptions as gifts!”

“Oh my! I have received my first issue and read it from cover to cover. There is so much information within the pages of this magazine. There was a special section on Elderberries. I'm going to try the recipes since we have many Elderberries that grow wild. This is the type of magazine you save for years as a reference. For anyone on the fence about ordering, DO IT!”

“My husband prefers Backwoods Home and I love Self-Reliance. They both offer so much valuable information, especially in the world we live in today! I think we have incorporated at least one thing from every issue we have received of each publication! It is also so nice to have a written resource as opposed to depending on the internet for everything.”

“I have been receiving this for almost a year and a half now and every issue catches my interest immediately. My adult son has occasionally brought it in from the mailbox and I have to wait to get a look at it. Very impressed with the quality of the content, the ease of reading, and a magazine without massive advertising interrupting my enjoyment of the content. Down to earth refreshing content.”

“Been a subscriber for probably close to 20 years now. It's the ONLY magazine that I still pay to get. When I first subscribed, I could only dream of having my own "Backwoods Home". Six years ago, that dream became a reality!”
