Subscription for Bushcraft & Survival skills is £29 for six editions (UK) so I'm not sure how good or bad overseas rates are. I put this thread on for people to reference articles in the said mag

It has gone from 50 pages to 82 pages (and no, that isn't and extra 32 pages of ads)
and hasn't gone up in that time and yet people have said on here before 'Oh it used to be good'...when it was more pence per page? It's £4.95 per issue but it's bi-monthly so it's £2.47ish a month...how much is a packet of fags? A pint down the pub? A bottle of wine?
There's also a lot of non-truths written about the mag on here too...it features how to use a bow and drill each issue and Bear is always in it for instance-Utter rubbish!
As for content, well the main guest articles in the latest issue feature a big 4 page article by Fergus ''Roadkill chef'' Drennan on Dandelions, Jason Ingamells (founder of Woodland Ways) doing a 3 page basket weaving tutorial, Ben & Lois Orford show how to make a elongated wooden bowl, Pablo from Woodlife describes how to spot nests and chicks, Ben McNutt (Woodsmoke founder) has done a detailed 3 page piece on fish haunts and feeding habits bowl, Dale Collett (British Bushcraft School) has a 2 page feature on drying out and using a fire by friction kit, top tracker and Shadowhawk founder Ian Maxwell has a 2 page snake article, Annette Stickler (Campfire Skills) has done a fantastic 3 page piece on Romany Gypsies and Fraser Christian (Coastal Survival) has a 2 piece article on building a beach oven.
That's 19 pages just on those articles alone, add in the regular and smaller 1 page features (eg bushcraft on a budget, Tristan Gooley, reviews, course directory etc) and I make it 13 outside company ad pages which leaves 69 pages. It's also worth pointing out that two half ads are a magazine readers offer for a frontier stove & knife bay where you can advertise knives for sale.
The mag have also got Lars Kochanski and Gransfors coming to their Outdoor Show in June and I noticed on Facebook that the editor has been chatting to Mors Kochanski over a 'watch this space' something or other. Would any of then be associated with this so called 'rubbish' mag?
