$12.00 a year isn't bad.

I was a member for about 10 years.

You get 1 magazine every 2 months (a good read)

They offer you all kinds of other stuff to buy - Videos, Collector Coins.

The only problem that I had was they did the try it and if you like it we'll charge you for it, but if you don't send it back. Well I never sent it back.

As far as the try free stuff - I got to try some gun oil (Actually a baby wipe soaked in oil and packaged up)

Took 10 years of applying to try stuff.

The only reason I got out, was because I decided to start getting the Outdoor News and my wife said enough was enough.

I did the three year sign up for $36.00. Mags are good. I have received a knife & sheath, collector coins and holder, a deer grunt and a venison cook book with seasonings. Also I have received books. Two of them were deer hunting and history rifle and bow. Hard cover. They are awesome. But there was an additional cost for the books. First one was $7.00 then it jumped up to $22.00. You get to read them for ten day and just put them back in the package and their paid postage sticker on the outside of the box. So far well worth the $36.00. Plus you get those handy dandy stickers for your truck. By the way the knife is nice not something I'd use for deer hunting but nice for just throwing in the truck for anytime use.

I've been a life member since 1984. Like others said you get many "opportunities" to "test" items. The problem is they always want you to pay for them. I did once get a duffle bag for participating in a review of a new model F150. I would join for the magazine and information, but do not join if you think it will be a way to get free stuff.

I signed up with them in october and now they say I need to renew my dues before I can keep getting the magazine and free deals.....I told them I hadn't even been a member for 4 months and they told me their new way of doing dues is they run from january to december...not from the the time you sign up...that was enough to make me not sign up again.

I have to disagree on the magazine. I joined thinking it would be good to get another mag to read. But every single thing seems to be overhyping whatever product they're currently promoting. I know most magazines do this but this one seems way over the top. I would way rather have spent my money on Field & Stream, Outdoor Life, Outdoor News, etc.

I think it's a decent magazine, not great. I like Deer & Deer Hunting much better. That said I've been a life member for 5 plus years. The life membership wasn't that much & came with a leather jacket, so for the money was a good deal to me.

I agree the testing thing is pretty much a test it & see if you want to buy it deal. I did test some Buck Studs scent for free once. I didn't care for it.

I never heard of that before, and it just doesn't sound right. I'd check again. I think the magazine is pretty good.

I've been a member for around 7-8 years and I'd say the magazines are worth the $12 annually. I've gotten a few items to test: a deer gambrel, some gun (baby) wipes, and a box of shotgun shells. I've never received books or anything else from them. Plus I got 2 hunting knives as a gift.

I have been a life member for some time and the best I can tell you is give it a try and decide for yourself. The mag. is much like any outdoor mag. and you will recieve more of the try for 30 day offers then the test and keep. To me this is understandable becusse manufactures can only give out so meny items to be tested to differnt clubs. The 30 trial stuff I beleif are items the club is looking to sell themeself. Do not join looking for a lot of free things to try and keep.

good call Ufatz. Im a life member of the fishing club, and I swear they are always selling somehting or advertising something for someone else. Ive learned a lot from the mag, so if that is what you want It may be worth it. If you are turned off by rampant commercialism pass.

I've been a life member for a little under a year now. I have tested a nice folding pocket knife and a collapsable plastic lantern. The magazine is good, and I also got a bunch of stuff for signing up. It depends on what you are looking for. I prefer FM to any of the clubs since it is free and the information is better.

    • RV Camping in National Parks: What You Need to Know   RV camping in national parks can be a great way to experience the beauty of nature and explore some of the most stunning landscapes in the world. Here are some things you need to know before RV camping in national parks:   Make Reservations: Most national parks require reservations for RV campsites, especially during peak season. Check the National Park Service website for availability and booking options.   Check RV Size Restrictions: National park campgrounds have size restrictions, so make sure your RV fits within the designated size limit. Check the park's website for information on size restrictions and available amenities.   Know the Rules: Every national park has different rules and regulations, so make sure to check the park's website or inquire at the visitor center about the rules and regulations before you arrive.   Pack for the Environment: Many national parks are fragile ecosystems, so it's important to pack in, pack out, and leave no trace. Make sure to bring eco-friendly products and dispose of your waste properly.   Be Bear Aware: Many national parks are home to bears and other wildlife, so it's important to be bear aware. Store your food in bear-resistant containers or bear lockers and never feed wildlife.   Respect Quiet Hours: Many national park campgrounds have designated quiet hours, so be sure to respect these hours and keep noise to a minimum during the night.   Plan for Limited Services: Some national park campgrounds have limited services, such as no electrical or water hookups. Be prepared to camp without these amenities and plan accordingly.   Know Your RV: Before heading to a national park, make sure to familiarize yourself with your RV's features and how to operate them. Practice setting up camp and operating your RV systems before you arrive.   Be prepared for the weather: Before you go RV camping, check the weather forecast for the area you'll be visiting. Bring appropriate clothing, gear, and supplies for the conditions you'll be facing.   Choose a suitable campsite: Look for a campsite that offers some protection from the elements, such as trees or a natural windbreak. Avoid campsites in low-lying areas where water can accumulate during heavy rain or snow.   Insulate your RV: Make sure your RV is well-insulated to keep the cold or heat out. You can add extra insulation to the walls, windows, and doors, and use draft stoppers to keep cold air from entering.   Use a portable hand warmer: If your RV doesn't have a built-in heating or cooling system, consider using a rechargeable hand warmer. Rechargeable hand warmers, such as the Ocoopa Union 2s, with four heat settings, they can be adjusted to suit changing temperatures. They also have a long battery life of over 8 hours on low, making them ideal for longer winter outdoor activities.    Keep your RV well-ventilated: Even in extreme weather conditions, it's important to keep your RV well-ventilated to prevent condensation and mold. Use a dehumidifier or open windows and vents to let in fresh air.   Use a weather radio: In case of severe weather, it's important to stay informed. A weather radio can provide you with up-to-date information about any weather warnings or alerts in your area.   Keep emergency supplies on hand: Be prepared for power outages or other emergencies by keeping emergency supplies on hand, such as extra food, water, batteries, and a first aid kit.   Know when to stay put: If you're facing extreme weather conditions, it's important to know when to stay put and wait it out. Don't try to drive in hazardous conditions, and avoid going outside if there's a risk of lightning or other dangerous weather.
