TV presenter role for Tom Bán

A new children's TV series starting on Monday on RTÉ 2 features Nenagh’s BushCraft expert Tom Ban as its presenter.

‘Bush Kids’ follows four different families, each brought to a different habitat to learn how to survive in the wild. Bushcraft survival expert, Tom Bán, shares his skills with each family as they travel on an adventure into the wilds of Ireland.

With just their backpacks, the Bush Kids, aged 5–12 years and accompanied by a parent, explore their given habitat and learn how to survive using only what they find around them.

Join Tom and the Bush Kids and learn how to light fires without a lighter, build camping shelters, prep and cook food on an open campfire, and explore the wonders and resources in some of Ireland’s most remote areas.

Each family will travel to a different habitat, which include the forest, coast and islands, the meadows and bogland, and explore how each location is unique, especially when it comes to survival.

Tom Bán hails from Nenagh and spent most of his time growing up hunting, fishing and spending countless hours outside exploring the landscape around him and learning local history. He is dedicated to learn the skills required to survive in the wild and the bushcraft needed to do so. Tom has brought his passion for the outdoors into his career and now teaches bushcraft and nature classes to groups of kids and adults all across Ireland.

We are always asked at some point in our lives: “What would you bring with you if you were stuck on a desert island?” - and the answer should always be… Tom Bán.
