SPEAKING

Tom is a natural orator, speaking with humour and humility about his many adventures, including walking to the North Pole, spending time in a Bolivian prison, and sailing a superyacht 8,000 miles from Canada to Chile. Tom set up his business Desert Island Survival in 2016, and most recently took part in the TV show ‘Alone’.

Keynote Speaking

ALONE

Tom was dropped into the remote Canadian wilderness with only a handful of survival items to compete in season 1 of the Channel 4 series ‘Alone’. Referred to by those in the bushcraft community as the survival Olympics. This is the ultimate test of one’s mental and physical skills, whereby contestants aim to survive as long as possible by finding their own food and water and sheltering themselves from the harsh Canadian elements.
