Ladies & Gents with Facebook can you please message "Dean Millard" from theferalyamyam bushcraft group for your magazine issues. I have just been messaging him, he is close to the organisers and is acting as the distributor of the magazines at the moment. If you can just show him a screenshot of your subscription from the web site he will send you any magazines you have missed. He was helping me out when I told him about the other users of this forum also having issues with the magazine and he said to give his name out so others can contact him directly on Messenger to resolve any issues. Also the company has definately not folded and there will be a show this year.

To be honest the whole thing not receiving magazines since March has put me off the whole commercial bushcraft thing, to the point of giving up my hobby to just do walks and woodland days in whatever I am wearing no more buying any kit or knives for me. Had enough of being ripped off.

I messaged him and sent the email showing when my subscription started, he's responded but I'm not holding my breath until I receive the magazine. I also asked whether it was going to be a years subscription so I'd miss out on issues due to the delay and he stated that it will be issues so I should receive the correct number despite the gap.

What about newsagent availability? Mine is on order from my local newsagent, and they do not have any info from the distributor despite asking them it seems.

Cheeky sods. Just realized my subscription has been renewed automatically and money taken! I had 2 issues from last years payment, so they can sod off if they think I want to renew it!. Messaged them regarding a refund.

Still not managed to get a copy through my newsagent, though it's been on order for years before covid hit.
I'm definitely not going to subscribe if this is what's happening.
At least if I dont get a copy, I dont pay for it. Still very annoying though.

I wasn't going to seeing as I had 2 copies from 'last years' subscription. I'm not very amused by the fact they have taken £35 for another year! And, just like the farce around getting money back for the cancelled show, they aren't answering messages or emails ! Wouldn't trust them with a penny of mine now!

No longer selling through newsagents. Subscription only.
That's me out of the equation then.
I dont trust the way they are handling subs.
I never got a reply to my letter which enclosed a stamped addressed envelope for a reply either.
Shame, as they have now lost a long time customer.

That is not good. I don’t reckon I will resubscribe

I know they have had their problems, but, I'm realy disappointed with how they have dealt with things.
A simple explanation on their website would have gone a long way to keeping people on side.
It's been a tough time for everyone, so I'm sure there would have been sympathy and patience.
It is a good magazine, and there are precious few around on this particular interest.
Sadly they have teed a lot of people off. Me included.

I have no love lost. £70 for 2 magazines due to them automatically renewing my subscription (I only received 2 magazines from last years subscription)! I have just been on to my bank in a attempt to get my money back. If you have paid for subscription online last year, go and check your account and delete any details which may enable them to withdraw funds.

That's taking the rip!
As far as I'm concerned, wont support the show, or order another magazine or subscribe.
To be honest the spring issue was getting to be just a giant advert for the show, and the next one was just a review of it.
I'm done. It's an awful lot of money to spend on reading ads and reviews.
Money better spent on proper books in my view.

Still had nothing since last year when Dean sent issue 86. Have given up hoping to get anything. £70 wasted basically, as like many of you, they automatically took a subscription payment from my account last year. Almost seems fraudulent doesn't it?
