Good Magazine for Preppers, Survivalists, Homesteaders, Etc.

Backwoods Home Magazine - self-reliance homesteadingJust thought I’d mention Backwoods Home Magazine. I really enjoy it, and the fact that it’s a ‘family’ effort. It’s not some slick citified production with more ads than content and paper that can’t possibly be recycled. I enjoy it and I hope you do too.

The ideas that they talk about also don’t require you to buy your way out of trouble. It’s not gear-centric. They don’t say you need Product X from MegaSurvivalLabs. It’s mostly doing things the old fashioned way, or least the new-fashioned way but with tools that are readily available to you.

It is definitely an American production, but the humbleness really feels Canadian. Also, they seem to be mostly non-partisan in political discussion, but maybe leaning some towards small-c conservativism. Conservative in resources, but more giving in social issues. That appeals to me and may appeal to you too.

    Hey would you mind stating which blog platform
    you’re working with? I’m going to start my
    own blog soon but I’m having a tough time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique.
    P.S Apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

    Hi, I use WordPress. It seems to have the most flexibility. Anyone can use it straight away, but then you can modify as much as you want. If you don’t mind learning a little web programming, you can do whatever you want with it.
