Blasphemy, I know!! However, anyone find a good deal on Backpacker mag? I can't get the Deekins to work and the best I have found is a year subscription for 9.00. Last year, I got a subscription for 2.99.

Doesn't help much with next month's issue, but if you want hundreds of hours of reading past stuff, this is the best deal going:

I've been a subscriber for almost 20 years. You're not missing much by being a couple years behind in the reading. There's very little cutting edge stuff that won't make it here and other places on the 'net without you knowing about it.

Don't know if it helps, but how about this one?

You can get a $7 subscription here: http://www.magazinediscountcenter.com/magazine-subscription/Backpacker.html
I'm going to try it out.
