Off-grid: a place, building or person 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 loosending the ties that bind us to teh fmailiar world of commuting, mortgages, no time and fast food, in order to rediscover our place in the natural world.

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 some brilliant gadgets) as he strives to perfect the skills of this practical, freewheeling kind of self-sufficiency.

Some sporting events go beyond hyperbole. For that reason it's useful to have a grounded and sober account of what took place, which Patrick Myler provides in Ring of Hate

—— Daily Telegraph

The fight action is outstanding, but Myler continues the story after 1938 when both men became close friends and their stars flew in opposite directions

—— Yorkshire Post

[H]is adrenalin-charged enthusiasm... delivers a good ride... The social history is snappy and his almost religious quest for ultimate craftsmanship full of wit.

—— James Urquhart , Financial Times
