Always wondered what they were allowed to have.

Alone Season 10: Gear List | The HISTORY Channel

Each Alone participant brings clothing, safety, and survival gear to the wilderness. Here’s a list of all of the standard items the participants are given, as well as the master list from which they are allowed to select ten special items.

Never could get into shows like this, "Survivor," et.al.

Did it in 1980. Could do it again, if NEED be. Would prefer NOT to, especially for someone else's TV ratings. :rolleyes:

We don't have access to the history channel any more so I've not seen any of the latest stuff, but looking on that web page at the cast photos for season 8, a lot of them are shown with bows. Is that just because bows are cool and make for good photos, or are they actually getting more successful at hunting in these later seasons? Prior all the hunting gear was dead weight, don't recall anyone actually getting anything on the show via direct fire (always snares/traps and fishing).

spoilers below, so if you haven’t watched yet and you want the suspense, don’t read this…


A guy in season 6 got a moose with his bow. And a Wolverine.
In season 7 a guy got a musk ox with his bow. A guy got some rabbits, and a woman got a porcupine
In season 8 a guy gets an animal with bow, but I won’t mention here what is is, since it’s the current season

sprinkled across those seasons (and can’t remember if in any earlier seasons), some people got squirrels and birds with bow

ok, so way more than in the early seasons. then it seemed like if anyone got anything it would be a game changer and they would have assuredly won with that influx of protein. those first seasons were a whole bunch of 'who can starve the slowest'.
 
Having a lot of stuff would be an advantage. But, I think isolation and constant fear of something eating you will get to you a lot quicker than being hungry.
 
The dude who shot the moose basically just got bored. That dude was pretty impressive. He even made the legendary wolverine his bitch.

I’ll never forget hatchet lady. Bink. Done. Careful with that kindling next time champ.

It’s been a while since I’ve read the articles so I’m sure the details are not exactly right- but Jordan had tons of food reserves remaining. I think he only lost 5-6 pounds during his entire time on the show.
He actually fed the production crew when they came to tell him he won. Lol

He also ice fished and caught a 20lb pike!
Dude lives with eskimos or something at some point, apparently.

The other impressive guy was the one who built a sweet camp and even made his own guitar. Don’t think he won but seemed like he could have.

One pound overweight will keep you alive for three days in a fasting state... so anyone 40 pounds overweight who knows how to fast can sit there drinking hot water and win handily.

Dayum. That’s good to know. I’m going to stop walking up hill with a weighted pack trying to lose weight. Those extra 30 lbs may come in handy.
