From the Back Cover

Off-grid df: a place, building or people without mains water or power. Static or mobile in a house or a hut, a boat or a camper van to live off-grid is all about loosening the ties that bind us to the familiar world of commuting, mortgages, no time and fast food in order to rediscover our place in the natural world. Some off-gridders want to save the world; some live that way because it is all they can afford; some just want to be free. Complete with camper van, Nick sets off around the UK to find off-grid heaven and meet people who are living the dream. Along the way he runs into backpackers and businessmen, radical hermits and right-wing survivalists and plenty of ordinary working-parent families too. Sincere but irreverent, this is Nick s guide to avoiding pitfalls, to finding solutions (and to some brilliant gadgets) as he strives to perfect the skills of this practical, freewheeling kind of self-sufficiency.
