About me
Tom Gold - Life Coach, Bushcraft Instructor, Personal Trainer.
I've worked with a lot of different men. From incarcerated gang members in the US to military veterans dealing with PTSD, and from asylum seekers to senior managers.
I've learned that men need space to talk but they also need space to be men. It's one reason why the outdoors is very important to me but I don't work there exclusively, we can also meet online or at your place of work.
About you
If you’ve lived on this earth long enough to reach adulthood then you’ve already experienced grief, loss, trauma, rage and you know what it is to have everything go completely to shit.
On the flip side you’ve performed acts of kindness and courage and strength. You’ve been there for your brother man and you’ve overcome challenges that looked insurmountable. You've also known love.
We carry these things forward with us but all too often we forget them when we need them most. Hold on to those little moments of greatness and the disasters that you survived. Let them define you. Trust me, you already have most of what you need.
Coaching
Have you ever had one of those conversations where the person you're speaking to can't wait for you to finish so they can tell you how the same thing happened to
This won't be like that.
Strength and Fitness
Physique is not strength.
But you'd be forgiven for thinking that when you view the content on this subject that's available on social media.
That's not how I do it.
Adventures
The Mens Outdoor Group is not an online community. We meet in real life for real experiences. If you're a man looking for new perspectives and the company of some stand-up guys then you're qualified and we'd like to have you with us.
What men are saying
Customers reviews, as at Monday, the 10th of August 2026:
"Never experienced anything like this before.
Thoroughly enjoyed the night away and learned a bit about basic outdoor bushcraft.
Would recommend anyone interested give it a try.
Thanks for having me Tom 👍."
"Myself and my 3 children had a brilliant time with Tom, learning new skills and enjoying the great outdoors with Tom. Highly recommended."
"I spent the weekend beside Loch Lomond.
Cold water, chopping firewood, the campfire conversations, climbing (most of) Ben Lomond
That silence can be as valuable as speaking.
With all our devices, notifications, and virtual connections, nothing replaces a handful of good people beside you on a walk or around a fire.
The honesty of the whole experience. No roles. No labels. No Egos.
A massive thank you to Tom Gold, who created the space for all of this with no fuss and no pretence, just authenticity and a genuine belief that men need community, outdoors and in.
A brilliant weekend with some amazing men.
Highly recommended."
"Well-structured but far-from-bossy stint in the woods away from distractions. Sense of humour most important than initiative. Well worth a try. Thoroughly recommended. Tom puts much work in involving all. Glad I went."
"This was an enlightening and practical experience. Something I had wanted to do for some time and the Wilderness Reset under Tom’s guidance and professional guidance delivered a magical experience. There is nothing better than like minded guys sitting around a fire passing comments and views on anything they wish. The learning was excellent and I will certainly return to experience again."
"Tom is a great outdoors mentor, thoughtful listener and really cool to get along with. Being outdoors, standing around a fire, drinking coffee or eating some fire-cooked meal is unbeatable to wind down from the daily hustle. Highly recommended!"
"Wonderful weekend, just the break I needed after an intense period of life. Tom is a fantastic guide, what he doesn't know about the wilderness/outdoors isn't worth knowing. I will definitely be doing this again."
"What a tremendous retreat!
Fire torch marching, wild swimming, incredible food, mountain climbing and great conversation- hands down the best retreat I’ve ever been to and I’ve been to loads - Tom Gold = True Gentleman and Legend!!"
