Hi, over at the link below, you can renew or subscribe to Backpacker and/or Outside magazines for what seem like great prices.
Backpacker, 3 years at $11.99
Outside, 2 years at $8.99Mar 17, 2013 at 5:15 pm #1966776Got it, thanks!
Mar 17, 2013 at 6:31 pm #19668013 years, couldnt resist that discount :)
Mar 17, 2013 at 6:52 pm #1966815I have ever read any of these magazines, are they any good?
Mar 17, 2013 at 8:36 pm #1966857Backpacker is decent if you live in the U.S and want to find potential vacation hiking spots. Otherwise, It doesn't mention much about preparation for thru-hikes or the like but does offer many great tips about safety and efficiency on the trail. It is not directed at ultralight bping, rather more traditional offerings to fit the mainstream. It is sad that they give no mention to the cottage businesses but im sure powerhouses like TNF and Mountain Hardware are paying their share to get a page.
I renewed for 3 years because it is excellent material to read on the porcelain throne! ;)
Mar 18, 2013 at 7:42 am #1966938I believe that is what we call too much information.
I'm a huge fan of Outside Magazine…their stuff is top notch. Backpacker not so much – always disappointed in that one.
Mar 18, 2013 at 9:44 am #1966981Thanks both.
So are they worth the cash?
Mar 18, 2013 at 9:57 am #1966985If u want "lifestyle" articles …
Most of which u can find online ;)
Mar 18, 2013 at 9:59 am #1966986PM me your address. I'll put a copy or two of each in the mail to you and you can make up your own mind.
Mar 18, 2013 at 11:06 am #1967007Hi Doug,
Thanks for the offer mate, there is no need to go to that bother.
I will check them out when I am next in a city newsagent.Cheers,
Mar 19, 2013 at 9:16 pm #1967685Rats, missed it by a day. I'd have been stoked to get Outside for that!
Mar 19, 2013 at 9:48 pm #1967696meh to both.
Even though I'm a grown-ass man (EASY you guys) my momma subscribes to BPer for me. "Just so I have something to read."
I agree with Dan- if I'm gonna be taking my time in the crapper I'll read it. Otherwise she's paying to fill the recycling center.

Is that hyphen in the correct spot? ;)
