If the world you know today were gone tomorrow, would you survive?

Off Grid
Written by Backwoods

Johnny & Rae Lynn Tapper find safety in solitude, hidden deep within the shelter of the Rocky Mountains. Terrorists have taken away the country they once knew and they survive, secluded and alone, by living off the land. They live wild new lives in a wild new world, living among the wild animals of the vast Colorado wilderness. There are no phones. There is no power. There are few people. They are completely ‘Off Grid’.

Off Grid is the first story in the ‘Off Grid’ Series. Although the setting is post-apocalyptic, the basis of the story is the building of a new world rather than the end of the old one. It also brings the reintroduction of Eric Boone, a favorite character from ‘Unremembered’. Join the Tappers as they begin their journey, struggling against a severe and brutal climate, unforgiving injuries without the possibility of medical assistance, deadly encounters with wild animals, and the many highs and lows of a life in the wilderness.

Hi Backwoods. Finished your upload and I am going to deliver my humble verdict. I loved it. When I was a kid I used to watch Grizzly Adams and always hankered after that kind of life. I know you are probably the finest outdoorsman in your country and you are inspirational. Loved your story, I can't fault it because it happens the way it does, and probably would do, given the circumstances. You should have a copy in every outdoor supply shop from Washington state to New York State and down to Georgia. You should get copies into outdoor supply shops. It will sell very well, (it is like a guide) to the people who you want to reach. At the end of the day, they may learn something about human nature and how to be a leader and a good person in a critical time and situation (long term). Even through periods of great hardship, were self resilience is a key factor in re-building society from the ground up with the technology that has been left behind. Put it this way, If the shit hit the fan, I would want you at my side.

Kindest Regards
Jack Waters

Review via Authonomy.com

Backwoods,
I have just read the ten chapters of 'Off Grid' in one go - and I only intended to take a quick look!! This is a very pleasant read and, although the harsh reality is that it is based on the aftermath of a nuclear attack, the life that is being forged in the wilderness overcomes that beautifully. It reminds me of "When the North Wind Blows", "The Trapper" and "Old Yella" all rolled into one.
The book does need proofreading, in spite of some of the other comments (I am a proofreader so forgive me), but that is not important at this stage. I love it and can't wait to see more - is there going to be any more?
High stars and I will be backing it soon.
Thanks,
Tom

Backwoods,
I have commented on your book and said I would back it soon. What the hell ... 6 stars and on my Bookshelf today. It's a bloody good book - can we have some more?
Cheers,

4 of 5 stars
Read from September 10 to 24, 2013

While I was reading this story I could hear the authors voice telling me almost as if I was reading his diary about his life, the story kept me intrigued , I could see how our world could be turned upside down like this and at the same time , living off the grid if its just you and your family surviving out in the wilderness , I wouldn't have the knowledge to be able to last very long , I have become somewhat crippled by society ready in a minute meals and open 24/7 stores, the characters I feel like I would love to know them and be with them if this ever happened great story, and the sneak peek to the stronghold has me definitely wanting to read more
