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!

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 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!  ::)
