In researching the stories that would become \u003ci\u003eOff the Grid\u003c\/i\u003e, Nick Rosen traveled from one end of the United States to the other, spending time with all kinds of individuals and families striving to live their lives the way they want to-free from dependence on municipal power and amenities, and free from the inherent dependence on the government and its far-reaching arms.
