The magazine makes a comeback after four years
Field & Stream, the legendary outdoor-lifestyle brand with origins dating back to 1871, returns to mailboxes for the first time in nearly four years as a print publication. The all-new Journal, now en route to 1871 Club Premium & Print tier members, features 160 pages of great storytelling, expert advice, beautiful photography, and more.
This issue marks the first edition of the Field & Stream Journal since the pre-eminent outdoors brand was acquired in January by country music superstars Eric Church and Morgan Wallen, alongside a group of experienced brand builders. As promised, the Field & Stream team is returning the publication to where it belongs: in the hands of those who love the outdoors and the tales that come from being there.
The inaugural 2024 Field & Stream Journal, officially out on June 5th, features a rich mix of stories, including a horse-packing adventure in British Columbia; personal essays of fathers and sons and their mutual love for wild places; a ranking of the best top-water lures ever; and trout-fishing tips for this summer’s cicada invasion. Eric Church also shares a tale of his own in the first installment of his brand-new F&S column, “Church Country.” His story, titled “Seed Ticks,” recounts the first time he visited the property where he would eventually build a fishing cabin. The humorous—and, at times, nail-biting—yarn takes readers on an outdoor adventure with his wife and father-in-law, complete with a car chase, jungle survival and a full-fledged war on microscopic bloodsuckers.
The new Journal will be published biannually, in an oversized 10×12-inch format. Subscriptions are available through Field & Stream’s new 1871 Club, a membership community that honors the brand’s storied history and offers members a variety of exclusive benefits. While 1871 Club members will automatically receive the Journal in their mailboxes and/or inboxes twice a year, non-members can purchase a single copy of the printed Journal for $25 plus shipping. New members can expect to receive their print Journal in the mail two to three weeks after purchase.
In addition to a subscription to the Field & Stream Journal, 1871 Club members receive other exclusive benefits including a $15 merch store reward, early access to member-only experiences, premium offers, members-only products and more.
