Backwoods Home Magazine - Practical Ideas For Self-Reliant Living
My favorite read is Backwoods Home Magazine, one of the best resources for off-grid and self-reliant lifestyles. They have lots of articles on construction, gardening, farming, crafts, building, and much more in a very no-frills easy-to-read manner. Even better, they have a vast archive of articles and blogs, with illustrations and photos, on their webpage. Their top contributors include the likes of firearms self-defense expert Massad Ayoob, off-grid energy independence expert Jeff Yago, and other experiences craftsmen and primitive-living gurus.
The very first article I read, and one of my favorites, was a 1997 article by J.D. Hooker, on the practical value of inexpensive Russian military surplus firearms. David Lee's guide to making a highly efficient barrel stove, and Jackie Clay's articles about building a log home are among my many favorite Backwoods Home Magazine articles I've read over the years. Backwoods Home Magazine, and their information-rich website, are both fun reads for avid outdoors people and curious city-slickers alike.
