Great magazine at a great price. It’s full of good advice and helpful tips. The many gear reviews are extremely helpful. Great pictures throughout!
There is some good information here about equipment, potential hikes, backpacking technique and survival.
I know that the publisher could be influenced by advertizing, but there is a ton of equipment information here, and I can sort through it to get a good picture of what equipment is out there.
The magazine is useful enough that I read every issue.
Bought this magazine never having heard of it before, and it is amazing. I love it.
Like others have said, you basically pay for a full magazine and get what amounts to 1/3 a magazine, 1/3 gear review, and 1/3 ads, which is at least 1/3 less magazine than the typical periodical. I was VERY disappointed with this magazine. I thought I had finally discovered the perfect outdoor/hiking magazine and was extremely unhappy when all I really found was 3 “regional” hikes that aren’t really all that close to me, and a bunch of reviews on high end gear that I don’t need and will never buy.
Thumbs down
As of May 17 I have yet to receive my first issue so I cannot recommend it. It is disapointing that it is taking so long to begin my subscription.
