 Downhill May 26, 2008

Like other reviewers have said, the content has gone downhill from informative articles on gear and places to go, to garbage that has nothing to do with backpacking. They sell out to gear companies, endorse shady gear companies ie: Big Sky, and the writing style almost requires you to have a.d.d. to read it ( tons of very short blurbs and "tips" thrown all over ).
To top it off, they have been sending me threatening letters to pay for issues they sent me after my subsription ended and I didn't renew it.

Just got a notice from a collection agency wanting money for a subscription I let expire. I'm not happy about this at all and needless to say I will never subscribe to Backpacker magazine again.
 Good For Hikers March 31, 2008

I'm new to Backpacker [1-year], but so far find it to be a great magazine. Here's a little of what to expect:
-info about lots of places to go hiking around the world
-hiking and camping equipment reviews
-hiking skills and tips (i.e. recipes, survival skills...)
Some people may get irritated with the ads, but for me, they keep me on top of the latest useful hiking products.
With great pictures and human interest articles to boot, its one of the best hiking magazines I know of. Also recommend The 5-Minute Plantar Fasciitis Solution if this annoying foot condition interferes with your hiking. Happy trails!
 Changed a lot over the years February 22, 2008

I stopped my subscription because the magazine has changed a lot through the years. Not enough hikes, backpacking information. Too many adds, bizarre contests, not enough content.
Backpacker Magazine Review January 11, 2008
I purchased this magazine for a Christmas gift and was very suprised at how quickly the subscription started. Within a week of Christmas the first issue was delivered. My son was very happy.
