I get a copy of the Calif. Mining Journal now and then, used to subscribe. I like Precision Shooting, The Single Shot Exchange, The American Rifleman, Fine Woodworking, Fine Homebuilding, and most any of the other similar 'zines. I also like Smithsonian, Discover, and The New American.

The Single Shot Exchange!
I haven't seen one of those in years. My dad used to shoot a single in competitions. He would get that magazine.

The only two magazine I subscribe to ;)

DigBMX is bimonthly, from the UK. RideUK is monthly, also from the UK.

I'm not a fan of the US BMX magazines, too many random advertisements that have nothing to do with BMX.

I subscribe to Backhome, Countryside, Backwoods Home and The Trapper & Predator Caller, and try to pickup Wilderness Way, Hobby Farms and Field & Stream.

Recently a local salvage store received a huge shipment of books & magazines from a large bookstore that suffered smoke & water damage. I was able to buy dozens of construction, gardening, survival, design and other self-sufficiency related books at 75% off of cover price. Now I just need some time to read!

I like Cottage Living, Dwell,  Mother Earth, Farmer Almanac, and Martha Stewart.

Sorry, I can't resist:



Original Colt if possible.

For reading rags, I like Popular Mechanics / Science, Smithsonian, Wired, Bon Appetit, Field and Stream.
"Officium Vacuus Auctorita"

MountainDon

4WD & SUV, Pop Mech & Pop Science, Air & Space Smithsonian, Nat Geographic, Discover and some land use publications that come with memberships, plus American Rifleman
Just because something has been done and has not failed, doesn't mean it is good design.

Good one, Frank. :)

I get a few of the industry freebies I like.  Construction Equipment, California Builder Engineer.  I quit paying for them as I get most stuff from the net.  I till have way too much to read.

Currently I get Money and Fortune and Onsite Installer a Septic Installers trade publication. The Focus changes. I used to subscribe to Backwoods Home, Mother Earth News and Fur, Fish and Game, Rock & Gem. Since I don't garden or raise any critters BH and MEN had a lot of articles that didn't apply for me so I let them lapse. I liked the alternative building methods when they were featured and the creative ways people used materials to solve things in their own situations. You can get that right here.
I have done so much with so little for so long that today I can do almost anything with absolutely nothing.

I currently get American Patchwork and Quilting and Mother Earth News.  I like to read Backwoods Home online when I get a chance, and used to subscribe to Countryside.  I like Reader's Digest, but when we moved, they messed up our billing when we moved, so I cancelled it.

I liked Backwoods Home until he started his spiel wanting money to go big time -- although not mandatory but I didn't think he was that good.  I let it expire.  Some of his experts were not that good either.

Two good ones I forgot to mention are Home Power, which is indispensible for anyone looking at on-site power generation, and Range Magazine, which is the primary voice of the Sagebrush Rebellion, the western resistance to government encroachment on our property rights.

Homepower and Field & Stream are my two favorites.

Long time die-hard Fine Homebuilding fan.  Better stuff in there than most of the archtiectural rags as far as I'm concerned.  ;)

But then again, the elitist snob in me still likes my New Yorker, and New York Review of Books.  ;D

I know, I know, get a rope!  ::)
