Eli Greenwood is an American author and expert in off-grid living and rockhounding, known for his comprehensive guides on self-sufficiency and the art of gem and mineral hunting. Growing up with a passion for the outdoors and sustainable living, Eli pursued his interests academically, eventually meeting his wife while at university. Together, they share a deep connection to nature, which has shaped their family life and inspired Eli’s work. Today, they live with their two children, passing on the values of independence and environmental stewardship. Eli’s first major work, "No Grid Survival Projects - 20 Books in 1", provides a detailed roadmap for anyone interested in building self-sufficient homesteads, sustainable gardens, and renewable energy systems. The book covers a wide range of topics, from basic techniques to advanced strategies, making it a valuable resource for beginners and experts alike. Following this success, Eli released "The Art of Rock Hounding", a seven-in-one guide that immerses readers in the world of gem, fossil, and rare mineral hunting. This book reflects his lifelong enthusiasm for rockhounding and offers essential techniques for discovering geological treasures around the globe. Beyond writing, Eli is dedicated to living sustainably and fostering a love of nature in his family. He believes in hands-on learning and often takes his children on adventures to explore the natural world. His books are more than instructional guides; they reflect his mission to inspire a self-reliant and ecologically mindful lifestyle.
