Quinn family feature in popular TV series
Tom Bán is back to share his outdoor survival skills as he brings four new families into the wild of Ireland.
Bushcraft and survival expert Tom Bán takes to the wild in the second series of Bush Kids travelling across mountains and rivers, teaching the Bush kids how to find food and build shelter to survive.
Tom Bán is 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.
Bush Kids follows four families including the Quinn family from Nenagh, each brought to a different habitat to learn how to survive in the wild, where bushcraft survival expert Tom Bán will share his skills.
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 build camping shelters, light fires without matches, prep and cook food on the open camp fire, while they explore the wonders and discover the resources in some of Ireland’s most remote areas.
The Quinn family is thrown straight into the deep end as they visit Ireland’s coastline, learning from Tom the necessary survival skills. Eilise, Rian and Ewan, and dad John are exposed to the coastal elements as they travel though sand dunes to find an ideal place to camp. They discover how to catch and cook their own food, build their own shelters, while also learning about the surrounding environment.
