Tom Brown, Jr.
Tom Brown, Jr. (born January 29, 1950) is an American naturalist, tracker, survivalist, and author. According to Brown, he grew up in New Jersey being trained by his adopted grandfather (a Lipan Apache) until he was 17. For the next decade, Tom traveled and lived primitively in various places across North and South America. Returning to New Jersey, he became a professional tracker, which in turn led to him forming the "Tracking, Nature and Wilderness Survival School".
