“The old Mother Earth News was about how to rediscover doing and making things yourself, it was not political, and it included guns.”
And don’t forget the Whole Earth Catalog. I still have a couple of copies of it. Collector’s items by now. Buckminster Fuller, et al.
I have a couple of copies also, along with boxes of the early M. E. News, and some old Firefox series books, and a big collection of Backwoods Home, although I let my subscription expire.
Some of the original Mother Earth News people helped found Backwoods Home magazine, it is excellent, and I will resubscribed at some point.
By the way, I have an artist friend who Buckminster “Bucky” Fuller visited out of the blue, Fuller landed a helicopter in his yard, which was pretty impressive in the early 1960s.
