But although he has now decent salary per episode from Mountain Men show, Oar keeps other income streams open. He still makes his classic merchandise, such as legendary Tom Oar’s moccasins from Elk hides. You can buy them only directly from him and it’s very likely they will be sold out since Oar can’t keep up with rising demand.

Oar is seventy years old. He lives together with his wife Nancy and dog Ellie. Their house is located near the Yaak Rive. It’s a log house he built himself. Tanning elk hides and starring on a show is more than enough to support his humble lifestyle. Oar himself once said on the interview that he feels like he was born 200 years late.
