Tom Oar is a reality television personality and former rodeo cowboy, but is probably best known as one of the stars of the History Channel’s “Mountain Men” series. The show centers on him and several others who have adapted to a nomadic lifestyle.

Tom Oar: Bio, Parents, Siblings, Ethnicity

The popular personality, Tom Oar was born in 1943 in Illinois, United States of America. While little information about Tom’s childhood and adolescence is available, he describes himself as an old soul who was born too late.

Tom has a brother who has appeared in “Mountain Men” on occasion.

He worked as a rodeo cowboy during his younger years, which fueled his interest in living off-the-grid. He eventually met Nancy, who shared his sentiments about escaping the hustle and bustle of modern life. The two eventually settled in Troy, Montana, a town they’ve grown to love.

Tom began constructing a house for them with a chainsaw he purchased, and over the next five years, the two gradually constructed a two-room log cabin on an acre and a half of land. To supplement their income, the pair learned how to trap beavers and tan hides.

Trapping is the act of remotely capturing an animal, whereas tanning is the process of producing leather. They were able to create jackets, moccasins, shirts, and pants that they sold commercially. They were frequently seen selling their wares at fairs.

The couple would eventually become the subject of a new History Channel show that premiered in 2012. The term “Mountain Men” refers to people who live in the wilderness, most notably in the North American Rocky Mountains during the 1800s.

Eustace Conway, Marty Meierotto, Rich Lewis, George Michaud, Kyle Bell, and Charley Tucker are among the cast members who join the couple. Each of them has developed a distinct way of life in the wilderness. While Tom is devoted to trapping and tanning, the rest of the cast is dedicated to teaching survival skills. Others hunt animals, with Rich specializing in mountain lion hunting.

Additionally, several other cast members rely on hunting for a living, with the majority of them trapping for fur or hides. The show was a success, averaging approximately three million viewers per episode, and it ran for five seasons before concluding with its fifth season in 2016.

There has been no word since then on whether the show will resume. However, the show has been successful in assisting these Mountain Men in earning money, as they have benefited from the show’s salaries.

Net Worth and Salary

Tom Oar’s net worth is unknown. As of mid-2022, sources estimate that she has a net worth of $250,000.

He has amassed this fortune through a successful career on reality television and as a rodeo star. As he continues his endeavors, his wealth is expected to grow.

Relationship Status: Divorced?

Oar is married to Nancy, with whom he has been in a relationship for over 50 years. They met at Northern Illinois and stayed together for several years, embarking on adventures before deciding to relocate to Montana.

Nancy, who mentions her love of nature, shares Tom’s enthusiasm for the wilderness. They enjoy living near mountains and a river. They have children who have grown up and established their own families in Florida.

Moreover, they demonstrate no desire to alter their lifestyle – for the first 17 years of their marriage in Montana, they adapted to life without electricity or running water.

Additionally, they face numerous obstacles, such as bitterly cold winters. Additionally, they must learn how to defend themselves against predators and hunt for or gather their food. They amass a large amount of wood to help them prepare for the colder months.

Social media profile

While Tom and his wife are not afraid of cameras and readily accept media interviews, they continue to prefer traditional ways of life. As a result, Tom maintains no online or social media presence on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter, confirming his claim of being an old soul.

On the website YouTube, video clips of him are frequently taken from episodes of “Mountain Men.” Other cast members of the show maintain an online presence, attempting to use these platforms to publicize their work while maintaining their traditions.
