Off the Radar: a Man, a Plan and a Paddock

Harper Collins, Auckland, 2008. Good secondhand copy.

A tie-in book to the television series Off the Radar. The series follows Te Radar trying to live a completely self-supporting and sustainable lifestyle (aka 'the good life') in a small community north of Auckland. The series is a charming look at the challenges of being completely self-sufficient (relying on hunting, growing, fishing), with a small amount of 'how-to' thrown in - but really it's about a bumbling city-boy (Te Radar) testing himself and seeing if he can live off the land. Te Radar has written a series of yarns about his experiences and the characters he has met while living off the land, which we are publishing as a tie-in to the TV series. The stories will be about events not included in the series.
