Self Reliance Illustrated Announces Closure

Self Reliance Illustrated Announces Closure

Self Reliance Illustrated has announced that they will no longer be in business. The magazine has been a bi-monthly magazine since its start in 2010. The magazine is owned by The Pathfinder School, L.T. Wright Handcrafted Knives, and Battle Horse Knives. The magazine was offered in print and digital formats and boasted a small but dedicated following.

Self Reliance Illustrated showcased articles on all aspects of self-reliance. The magazine featured reviews, DIY projects, tutorials, inspirational stories, and more. The writers included in the magazine were a mixture of outdoor professionals and your average Joe.

Self Reliance Illustrated has tried to thrive in an increasingly difficult magazine market. As large magazines see the decline of print readers, the smaller magazine has as well. Without the resources of a large publishing house, SRI has had to make the decision to shut down.

Self Reliance Illustrated has cultivated a large facebook following of over 147,000 fans, gaining several hundred each week. The company plans to maintain the facebook page. Copies of the print magazine will be available for purchase through two of its owners' companies: Self Reliance Outfitters and L.T. Wright Handcrafted Knives. Kindle versions of the magazine will remain available on Amazon.

Self Reliance Illustrated plans to put together a PDF package of all of their issues and it will be for sale in the next few weeks. This package will include 23 issues. Topics covered include ways to start a fire, shelters to build in the outdoors, hunting tactics, gear reviews, methods of processing water, how to prepare for emergencies, and even more topics.

Subscribers of the magazine will receive an email about their subscription status. SRI is offering vouchers or refunds for the remaining subscription cost. Self Reliance Illustrated has made it clear that they want to do right by their valued customers.

Any questions about the shutdown should be directed to info@selfrelianceillustrated.com

Back issues can also still be purchased at www.selfrelianceillustrated.com
