I'm in !! and I'll renew as long as I last.

There is more interesting stuff about guns and hunting stuff on You Tube than I can view in a lifetime, or ten lifetimes. Why would I pay $90.00 for more of the same? I think Dan's Volume 3 of The Parker Story is a much more interesting project. It sounds like the lack of content for the Double Gun Journal was less of a problem than the lack of income. I thought Dan was just worn out from many years of editing the DGJ. Apparently not. Whatever, good luck to him on his two new projects.

Is this going to be monthly?

looks to be a monthly endeavor.

New content will be released throughout each month, ensuring a steady rhythm of articles, features, and multimedia experiences.

What in hell is a substack app or an rss feed? So I send Dan ninety bucks and look at my screen and see nothing. I guess I need to go back to school. I never had a student loan, I paid in cash. Big mistake, I guess.

I'll wait to see how the actual content is reviewed by subscribers. Not sure if they email a pdf or what. I have work industry publications that are online only and controlled to prevent printing, saving, etc. They're a pain to use and it's more like renting than owning.

pdf, is that profanity or a kiss? In the sixties, I installed computers for my Uncle Sam, used computers for 29 years in my career position, forgot everything I ever learned. In my retirement years, I haven't continued to learn anything related to a computer except how to turn it on. Dan Cote will have to be patient with me.

Portable document format. ISO 32000. It is basically a format for documents that is handy to use for most, because many different apps can open and display it. Came on the scene around 1992.

If you installed computers in the 1960s and have truly forgotten everything you ever learned, that is a net positive, as nothing from the 1960s is relevant, or, matters, today. If you have a credit card or PayPal account, you can pay Mr. Cote’ in about a minute. If you have a credit card you can open and have a PayPal account in about 5 minutes. Mr. Cote’ will email you a file for the month (s) you paid for, and, it is a pretty safe bet you will be able to get the PDF to open, and you can then read what interests you. You can create a file to store them, leave them to pile up in your email, or delete them when you are finished. Your phone, device, laptop or desktop computer are all capable of opening a PDF, or, allowing you to pay for the subscription that Mr. Cote’ is offering.

A good rule of thumb on the World Wide Web is, if it costs money, and you pay for it, it will happen so fast you won’t believe it.

I’ve got a feeling you will be just fine.

Best,
Ted

It is an interesting project. I am not sure I personally would want someone else generating AI-videos that would "bring my stories to life." I am more ok with the AI-narrations.

Also, as of Dec 2025 anyway, AI models can't generate a pinfire gun to save their life so my content likely wouldn't work anyway!

I hope there are also plans for articles and not just the AI-generated videos of the articles.


P.S. Also, Substack is a very popular platform for paid newsletters and podcasts for those wondering. Additionally, as someone whose career revolves around AI and tech I am more than happy to give any thoughts around that too.

Much as I loved my monthly DGJ, part of the experience I loved was physically handling the magazine. I read Diggory's digital publication regularly and it is filled with interesting new content monthly. I pay nothing for it. It strikes me that $9 per month is more than the last subscription price of the physical DGJ.

I don't begrudge Mr Cote earning a living but I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around renting the content in digital format for $9 per month.
