Meet some of the characters from my next book – Off the Grid: Inside the Movement for More Space, Less Government, and True Independence in Modern America, published by Penguin 1st August 2010.
I traveled around America meeting these extraordinary people and writing about their lives. Above all I wanted to find out WHY they live off the grid. In this film you will find author Carolyn Chute, explaining why she lost trust in the system — because she had little money, a hospital refused to let her in to have her baby – who was stillborn as a result. Meet author Alan Wiesbecker, who wrote In Search of Captain Zero: A Surfer’s Road Trip Beyond the End of the Road. He is now living on a beach in Mexico.

If you are in an RV, Boondocking is the only way to go—it’s cheap, eco-friendly, and adventurous. And remember, an RV does not have to be an expensive, purpose-built home on wheels – all you really need is a bed, storage space and preferably a way to cook food and power your cellphone.
What is Boondocking?
It’s living off the grid in your RV – usually on a short term basis – not connected to hookups like electricity or water. Much of the time, its free.
Where do people Boondock?
Everywhere. Even parking in your friends or parent’s driveway is boondocking.

Denise de la Cerda lives off the grid out of choice.
I visited her during my research trip writing Off the Grid: Inside the Movement for More Space, Less Government, and True Independence in Modern America.
Denise still has her tattoo business in Manhattan, but as soon as she can she leaves town and heads for her Connecticut woodland.
She bought it 3 years ago for about $70,000, owner-financed. Since then she has built a small house and a tiny cabin on stilts.

John Wells lives in a shack he has grandly titled the Southwest Texas Alternative Energy And Sustainable Living Field Laboratory.
When I visited he told me he had wanted to leave his glitzy fashion photographer world behind, a world of “mounting debt and an overwhelming feeling of being trapped in the life you have chosen.” He was looking for a simple life but a comfortable one
