Tom Oar, 70, is one of the stars of the History Channel show, Mountain Men. Just finishing its second season, the series follows several men and their families as they face the challenges of living off the grid, using only what nature provides and their own skills and ingenuity. Oar makes his living tanning wild game hides and crafting traditional buckskin moccasins, pants, shirts, jackets, and other primitive trappings.

Growing up a rodeo kid, his interest in the West was peaked at a young age. Before he moved to Montana to live the "mountain man" lifestyle, he was already interested in trapping and tanning. Secluded in the Yaak Valley, Montana for the show, he and his wife continued their primitive lifestyle, but now, millions of viewers tuned in to watch and marvel at this unique, antiquated way of life.
