- A winter storm buried Yaak Valley in snow, so Tom has taken the day off from trap-lining and instead exerts his energy on creating a primitive bow worth a pretty penny if made correctly, in this clip from Season 10, "Zombie Moose."

Winter is loosening its grip on the mountains of North America. But that doesn’t mean life here is getting any easier. As the thaw begins and rivers start to swell with raging runoff, new opportunities open up for the mountain men to stockpile supplies, grow their own food and fortify their homesteads. But this spring… They’re digging deep like never before. The mountain men and their families are masters of independence and living off the land. But even they are preparing for a changing world- one where the ultimate test may be who can brace for the worst in America’s wilderness.

Love from india
I like this kinda stuff if he can teach us some more things or two well that would be awesome 👍☺👍
heeee bro we want traduction
I love Tom. He's a gem.
Nice
Yes he is
Tom is my great grandfathers name my grandfather name my dads name and mine . 4 generations there ;)
He is
Tom looks like he constantly smells like wood smoke and good steak,and I'm living for it
lol Wood smoke and good steak, sounds like the ideals of a mountain man.
I bet Tom Ore doesn’t realize what an inspiration he is to so many people of all ages! God bless him
Imagine what you could learn from spending time with Tom. He’s a dying breed.
Tom Oar reminds me of my grandpa, a very simple man who loved nature and to create items. He made me a knife from an old car and an antler from a huge buck. I miss my grandpa every day, and seeing Mr. Oar brings me fond memories of my grandpa.
@Pedro Bravo your thumbnail image looks suspiciously like a certain pink pudgy faced celebrity chef only scrunched more than the real thing.
I was just about to comment the same thing. Except he'd build/fix anything - electrical appliances, motorbikes, tombstones etc.
Same here
It never gets old watching Tom. I wish he had his own show or TH-cam.
it would be so awesome if tom made a youtube. i wonder how good of internet he can get up there
I could listen to this man telling storys all day long. He has a calming voice.
Legit just love listening to him explain things and what not. Most relaxing
Shame about the narrator
This guy is a master of dozens of skills, and so laid back, so pleasant.
Tom reminds me of my Grandfather John. Dressed like him. Talks like him. Always outside. Teaching his knowledge. My deepest respect to Mr.Tom Ore
RIP Tom. I would have loved the chance to work with him, and learn from him. He'll be missed.
Image to have conversations with this man, you can learn knowledge and wisdom. Young people should do that.
Records him as much as possible. He is national treasure.
This is an art that is very rare these days. Using materials that have been used for thousands of years. Amazing
Tom is one of the reasons I started making my own bows
It really shows how amazing these older gentlemen are.
These two are so wholesome, honestly got that vibe that's up there with Steve Irwin, Bob Ross and Mr Rogers
Tom is a gentle giant in every way.
my friends and me call him kimocom tom, which means grand father tom, we're natives americans and we have great respect for this man, we learn a lot by watching this show.
One word, that this man describes: SKILL✨✨✨
For real its so hard to make a bow, that doesn‘t break and keeps it‘s original shape... but this is a masterpiece✨✨✨mad respect 👍
I love Tom, he reminds me of my grandpa
Legends never get old.
I love fella's like this, make me smile with every word.
OMG!!! I am a native raised Cherokee, and I STILL would LOVE to "sit at his knee"!!! (Soooooo much more to learn!!!!)
Five hundred bucks for a handmade recurve decorated like that? Add a quiver and arrows made with all organic components as the bow and I'd gladly pay double that!
Or just cop one from a shop for a third the price that shoots 3 times as far and wont break
@@MidirDS3 That's cool if you need the reliability of a modern bow , but the buzz of making and using a handmade piece like this would be so satisfying if you get it right .
Hit me up. Lol
only an american show can make two old men tinkering with a peace of wood seem dramatic and exciting.
The fact he can hit his measurements spot on without modern tech is extremely hard and impressive, although he has as well as humanity for ages been able to do this....
This man is a national treasure!!
Great job love watching Tom & the other guys.
These are the kinds of people that should have apprentices so that they can continue his craft and knowledge
Looks like they need someone to teach them first
Love that set up! I've always used dry heat bending. Might give the hot water method a try. Love the idea of fixing that crack with a sinew bandaid. Been there done that.
Tom reminds me of my Great Uncle. What a great guy
I’d love to spend some time with Tom!
That man is a national treasure.
El señor Tom es una eminencia, mis respetos.
Fantastic work Tom
Tom is My fav.
We gonna talk about how you can obviously tell that his shot hit really far back on that target, almost hitting the back leg but it cuts to him hitting dead in the heart
TY Chaps. 👍
That was so clearly a belly shot then they got close out of sight and made it perfect 😂tv I swear
I also love this guy his brother and his great wife.
This legend is a dying breed, we just ain't built like this anymore.
Fun fact, The composite bow is one of the best inventions of mankind, with its composition of three layers, wood, sinew and horns. The history proves, conquering nations in the past used it.
Hadron collider, bicycle's, Hubble telescope, internal combustion engine, the list goes on of better inventions of mankind. Fun fact...
@@d6u4 "Maybe so, maybe not. We'll see. "
Just keep in mind the composite Bo's moved humanity forward so we could make things like hadron colliders
@@netherdominater9960 No, firearms moved humanity forward so we could make hadron colliders. If we were still stuck on bows humanity would be living in tipis to the ripe old age of 40 something
If our ancestors didn't have bows to collect meat they wouldn't have survived long enough for later ancestors to invent the firearm. Bows were an important tool for humanity to get us where we are now, accept it dude.
Tom Orr is an American treasure. I admire him and his wife.
You would never try to brace a bow that has just come out of hot water for one thing, then the bow could of been drawn with a longer string to check the tillering which would of avoided the split !!
Yes sir !!! Like really now. also sinew backing takes weeks to dry.. And I never knew osage to be rare lol
That's right, I remember one show where someone wanted a sinew backed bow finished and ready to shoot in like two days ?? !! As a Bowyer, It's a bit annoying to watch some of this stuff PORTRAYED as reality !!
@@charlesleblanc6638 yes, it’s TV. Edits can turn weeks into a one hour episode.
Facts
It wasn't a very fast shooting bow either. He said tillering string but put a short bow string on it. I also made a comment about Osage Orange being rare. Come to Kansas. I stopped listening after a while.
Tom is old as F and he's still doing more than the average person
Old is always gold
Ain't that old I'm 102 years old toms still a kid to me
@@scootergardin2588 follow God for he is the gift of eternal life
@@scootergardin2588 u sure?
@@littelsmolchickenshehe8435 thats right✝️💟
My new favourite show...
I've never seen this show before, but I'll definitely be watching it now.
I would absolutely love to have that bow
By far the best out of all the men

Love from india

Tom is my legend😍
I used to see this guy at the lucky pick (a bar outside kalispell) from time to time while he was making the show. he didnt live far from the highway and none of this is what he would call real. he did enjoy doing it though!
2 awesome persons
Those errers shot good!!!
More Power to these people. I couldn't do it. 👼👼 My nephew's bow hunt. Not sure if they've ever made their own though. Wow.
Wow is bow making skill is amazing. Would like to see a total start to finish production
Tom 💕
God bless Tom
This man is amazing
What a bow ! I would love to make one
what a perfect shot 👌
Amazing 👏👏👏👏👏
if i wold have the possibility to learn from Tom , man i wold start packing tonight and go there.
That's not how you tiller a bow!! Fred Bear turning over in his grave!
He is a legend
Yes Tom is cool I've learned a lot from Tom
Peace my big brother tom
lol why is the fire so far from the jig
Dead Eye Activated 8:40
That's a really neat way to straighten a seasoned orange-wood stave. Usually with white-woods like Hickory and Elm you can straighten them when you heat treat them but heat treating osage or yew will ruin it. However boiling it to get moisture back into it so it's not "heat treated" is genius.
Heat treating Osage and Yew will absolutely *not* ruin it. I heat temper the belly of every single osage bow I make, as well as whatever heat correcting that needs done for twist/alignment. I don't have yew near me, but know many bowyers that heat temper yew as well.
Also, when you boil/steam woods the water is generally so hot that it "boils* moisture out of woods with higher MC. Any moisture on the bow after using steam/boiling is purely on the surface.
Not sure where you're getting your disinformation.
@@CloudfeatherRusticWorks Usually the bowyers over here already have their yew/osage staves seasoned several years in a dry place so dry heat tempering it can make cracks in the wood.
@@Bowfella Nope...you're completely wrong.
You're actually more like to crack the wood from heat tempering if the MC is high, because heat tempering causes a rapid loss of moisture and it creates drying checks/longitudinal cracks. But those, unless they run off the limb, are purely aesthetic.
If you're referring to cracks across the limb, that cause failure, that only happens if you heat treat a bow past an acceptable dryness for a bow(below 5-6% MC) and try to bend the bow in this state.
That's why, even though it's not common to happen, I always give my bows a few days to equalize after heat correcting or tempering.
Bow making isn't a craft for the impatient. Lol
Hope this clears things up for you.
Thought that was Gandalf on the thumbnail for a second, lol
Thought Gandalf was shooting a bow in some new scene by that thumbnail lol.
When he mentioned how to make recurve bows I had this past life recall 🌝
I could learn alot from Tom!!!
Nice perfect shot
Charming 🙂
Inspiring.
I wish I could buy a Bow made by Tom!
Amazing
Good job
That bow looks amazing with the rattlesnake skin on it
That's living survival I've spent all my life in the city used to hunt with my dad went to a cattle round up. In our hunting camping days get up at 4am start chopping wood get the fie going start breakfast for everyone
Fun fact beaver tail makes a excellent knife Sharpener
interesting thank yew.
I can only watch up to season 3 on amazon prime, I miss watching tom and Nancy. Cant believe Preston died :(
8:45 video chopped. arrow was heading towards the rear thigh.
Dam I would learn so much from this man, Respect 😎👌🇺🇲
As early as the 1600s ? Uh sir natives been using it for millenia 🤣
At Thumbnail i thought Gandalf was Drawing a Bow
Nice. I would love to buy a cracked bow, if it looks as cool as this one.
Q hermoso lugar xd!!🏹👍🏽👏
I love old people i wish to becom one myself
Go Poppy Tom. 👍🏻
Tom builds a normal average bow boy scouts make, sews on some skin and sells it for $10000 seems more like it for this show.
He sounds like Arthur Morgan....like a living version of him
I really like this kind of shows although I am not an old man hehehehe
Love it a lot
