Today we're talking with Tom McElroy, the other survivalist trainer I met while I was in Tonga.  Tom is the founder of Wild Survival. He also teaches primitive survival skills and takes groups out to amazing places like St. Croix and Tonga.  And here, he talks about what got him to this point. Tom grew up in a well-to-do town where most of his high school classmates were expected to attend ivy league universities. But, Tom dreamed of escaping the traditional path to living an unconventional lifestyle. He later decided he wanted to test his survival skills and live in the woods for a year. And then he did!  He went on to teaching survival skills to students ranging from kids to Seal Teams.  He also studied and lived with indigenous tribes all around the world. And he now has his own business where he's continually amazed about how his students learn not just survival skills but inner personal growth, and in ways Tom never expected.
