- Alone Contestants REVEAL The STRICT Rules They Had To Follow...
Welcome back to Wonderful Wilderness. The reality TV series, Alone has a whopping nine seasons and two spinoffs on the History Channel. In each regular season, 10 contestants compete at a chance for $500,000.
The producers drop each participant in a remote location where they must survive alone. The person who lasts the longest wins the grand prize. However, Alone contestants have to follow plenty of rules to earn that cash.

it's bs that they are stuck in such a small area. When it's a real survival situation, nothing keeps you from walking 10 miles in 4 hours, then hunting on the way back to your camp the rest of the day. Nothing keeps you from spending the night at the end of that 10 mile hike, either. 10 miles of radius is 314 sq miles of hunting/trapping area. The 5 sq mile restriction, half of it on the LAKE, is a horrific handicap. and why they all starve. It's set up that way, very much on purpose. They dont get a 5 mile RADIUS, which would be 39 sq miles of land and as much more on the lake.
As a real survivalist in Alaska and having survived REAL survival situation, I 100% approve your comment. This is a glorified starving contest with product placement and dramatic infusions. Heath check? Limits or anything? What a bloody joke..There are NO RULES in survival. Once a person sees REAL survival you will do whatever it takes to never let it happen again.
Knowing damn well all the winners just did whatever it took and SURPRISE... didn't film it.
It's not hard to figure Alone out every season. The ones who want to entertain more than survive or are overly dramatic or prone to panicking always lose. But that's exactly what the show is counting on.
The editors simply cut it to make the ones who tap early look silly. And the winner is always the struggler who loses ten fish in a row on screen. And isn't even shown at all in many early episodes. Its a formula.
@@TheJustinJ You basically just reworded what I already said... and said it again.
My favorite is the ones who are all tough then all of a sudden "I miss my family" I'm calling it lol.
If my family saw me do that on tv they would roast me for the rest of my life lol
The loser will get more screen time
I can't believe I just watched a RUclips video that ranked a third place finisher from some season as the strongest Alone competitor of all time
I know what you mean,to myself Roland Welker The Strongest Alone Competitor of all time because he made 100💯 Days
the worst rule, do not leave territory, but what if your spot is the one thing that will kill you
That rule needs to be eliminated
Just tell contestants if you run into anyone you MUST relocate, any evidence of aiding or cohabitation will lead to forfeiture of winnings and subsequent blacklisting from the show
It's that simple, since the show is thoroughly reviewed before airing they won't get away with cheating and just isn't worth it
@@brianlash154 they are stuck in a 1.2 mile radius from where they are dropped off on the lake or sea shore. So half of their "5 sq miles' of territory is on the WATER. 2.5 sq miles of land upon which to hunt and trap is NOTHING. you should get at least 20x that much.
First episode the dude walked an hour and found bears
he must have walked in a circle, cause you're not allowed to leave a 1.2 mile wide radius from your drop off location. They get "5 square miles' in which to roam. what they dont tell you is that the center of that circle as at the lake shore, so you actually only get 2.5 sq miles of LAND, which is nothing. It's very easy to walk 5 miles in 2 hours, hunt for 4 hours, then walk 5 miles back. Such a radius, centered on LAND, gives you 78 sq miles of land on which to hunt and trap. 30x as much of a chance to score meat, eh?@@razorsedge64ify Do you remember "pi r squared? 5 sq miles is NOTHING, bro.
@@razorsedge64ify then he walked in a circle, cause they are not allowed to move more than 2km from where they are dropped-off.
Jordan Jonas and Roland welker would’ve lasted the longest if they were in competition. Jordan said himself he was prepared for a full year minimum, he spent 6+ years as a nomad in Siberia so I have absolutely no doubt he could’ve beat out anybody in the shows history in that climate.
Jordan lost his moose fat to a thief and it was his end. Roland was feeling comfortable even after a 100 days. Alaska and Siberia aren't that different.
@davidschortner7439 the show dramatized how much moose fat he lost. He still had plenty but obv a rough blow. Not to mention he had 10+ rabbits and decided to pull down his traps not to waste any food. Pretty confident he'd last there for however long he wanted
Clay hayes hands down the best of all of them
yes, but he's not much, either, He knew to use a hot rock for warmth inside of his shelter, but didn't know to have the shelter be elongated, very low/narrow, have a raised bed and have FOUR head sized rocks in pits in a row under the bed, surrounding each rock with a 2" thick layer of wood ashes. He knows now, cause I've told him so.
Best contestant not named Roland you mean
No it's Roland.
How does Zachary Fowler not make the list? Madness
what list? he's learned very little since then and won only because he outweighed Carleigh by 70-80 lbs. He lost 73 lbs, she lost 50, in spite of his having caught 40 lbs of fish. Thqt's just 12,000 calories which you burn off in a week of being out and about, instead of holing up in a debris-stuffed shelter, like she knew to do
So she lost a higher percentage of weight? I guess she was worse. @@user-ci2mn1oy3w
Clay Hayes, the best hands down.
Definitely a better choice than Jose.
Roland was the best no doubt
@@joezino clay had all the tools to stay until…….
Agree with you , the best contestant in the series , so far. His skill set meant he was living his normal life but with fewer tools and resources. He was one of the few contestants to realise that the show format is not SERE but savage , extreme homesteading !
@@blessed1sj wrong, he was emaciated and didnt have another 2 weeks in him. the buck was only 40,000 calories, enough food for just 2 weeks. If Biko was not such a wuss, he'd have outlasted Clay by a month. When Biko left, he weighed more than Clay did at the START.
Alan Kay forged the way for the others to follow and learn from he’s the goat
how you figure? he lost 60 lbs in 56 days. and was emaciated. To last another 20 days, as many have done, he'd have lost another 22 llbs, which he could not spare. and they did so in far colder climates. It barely freezes on the shores of Vancouver Island.
@@user-ci2mn1oy3w you sure have shite to say about every comment, and every contestant.
Just watched season 1 of alone and I honestly could NOT stop watching. Great show. I was sad when Lucas tapped out he crafted alot of amazing things. Love this show these people are so strong. ❤
Far-better seasons coming; keep watching. They’re all on Hulu
Carleigh's 84 days would have beaten all but 3 of the other 100 or so contestants, but she lost to a guy who was quite inept, but outweighed her by almost 80 lbs.
Inept? No
@@whiteymcflightey yes, inept. He wasted a month of time and calories on a shelter and more weeks of same on firewood and handrails and steps up a hill that hill. What he should have done was take a cotton rope hammock and make the 2600 sq ft of 4" mesh netting possible that way. If the fish are too small, then overlap 2 pieces of this netting, offset them and stitch thru them, Presto, 2" mesh netting. 4" netting might suffice and it's much fasted to make the larger mesh stuff. , and uses much less cordage. Set out each days net production as a baited net weir, in 18" of water. Use 2 ft wide netting for this. After you're got enough netting, converts some of the weirs into a 6 ft wide seine, so you can force fish from 5 ft deep water into the weirs. Do that 2-3 x per day and you'll catch a lot of fish. Butcher the fish in the weirs so that the blood and guts serve as bait. When you're not using the seine, set it out as gillnets extending from the shore to as far out in the lake as possible. Make a chumline, a tarp and tape bait-bag tied to a wooden float every 20m. Stretch this line 1/4 mile out into the lake. Little holes in the bait bags drip out rotting fish or insect juice. This makes minnows hang around the bags, and bigger fish come for the minnows.
Inept? Bruh 😂
@@DMacDaddy yes, inept. There was no need of the cabin, nor the firewood, nor the hill-climbing, nor the starvation. In one day, he could have created a retaining wall -flat spot on the hill, 20 ft above the level of the lake. All you need the first month is a tarp and tape pole- tent, made in 3 hours. Then, a month later, winterize the tent down to 20F, with another 3-4 hours of work. then, a month later, winterize it further, down to 0F, with no need of a fire inside of it. Given the 6 weeks you'll have saved, you can easily make the pontoon outrigger raft in one day. You can make the 1400 sq ft of 2" mesh netting and set it out as baited net weirs and use it as a seine. When not seining fish from 5 ft of water into the 18" deep water where your weirs are, you set the net as a baited gill net. or a giant baited weir.
@@user-ci2mn1oy3w What season were you on?
the first evening, on launch day, you can get the tent built (3 hours after finding a site with debris and saplings for tent-poles. By fire light, you can make the 2-3 pairs of tarp and tape pants, too. The next day, you can get the raised bed done, gather a lot of fire wood, make the stone-boiling pit, boil 5 gallons of water, make a basket, line it with a hunk of tarp and store your boiled water in it.
One personal photo does not mean a photo of themselves.
Roland is the baddest man ever on alone
oh, so YOU are ok with torturing an animal for 5 hours, cause you're too stupid to carry more than one broadhead or to make a bola and spear and get the animal down in 20 minutes or less? or too lazy to trot 10 minutes back to camp for more arrows? they are not allowed to be more than 1.2 miles from their drop off location.. If he'd done a dog like that, he'd have been JAILED.
550 METERS of paracord? half of a km?
I have to say this. It is nonsense to give a contestant a second chance. I have signed up 3 times and been denied all three times. I was asked to do a group event which I believe was season 3. Nope, didn't want that because the show is called "alone" for a reason. I will not pull the weight of a group who sits on their a$$es. Not happening. Yet I see contestants from previous series getting a second chance! What about others first chance?!
It disgusts me. It is unfair, counterproductive, since they have already been on and lost.
Give people a chance that you passed up! I signed up during the first season. Got a reply to do a group one. I denied it because alone means alone.
Give me that chance and I can promise I'll come in high on the records.
all you need for a shelter is a tarp and tape tent, made in 12 hours and you can divide those hours up into 3 segments, a month apart for each.. Keep the shelter little bigger than a coffin, and seal it air-tight, with lots of debris insulation. Then you wont need a heat-source inside of it. Use the 10x16 ft tarp that they give you to construct a work pavilion. You can use the one way projected heat of 1-2 Siberian fire lays to warm you as you work under the pavilion. if need be. Rig the tarp with rope strand loops and stick toggles and never turn your back on that tarp. If you do, the wind will have it before you can say "boo"! So you need not be in the tiny tent except for sleeping, , or during the final month of your stay, to conserve calories.
You definitely want a shelter bigger than a coffin. Maybe make a sleeping cave in your shelter the size of a coffin, but you really want a relatively comfortable spot to work on projects, and Siberian fire lays burn through wood really fast. It's better with good fire deflectors, but keeping an adequate fire lay while working would be such a pain and an expenditure, I don't think it is prudent. Also, even if you pack a lot of highly insulative materials into a debris hut, you really want a harder shell with a good slope on the outside to shed water and wind. Reeds and grasses work really well for this. It's common knowledge that moss is fairly waterproof, but wet moss holds much less air and insulates much worse. A good shelter is much less likely to blow away as well. I would opt for sticking to a smallish tarp shelter in the earlier months and focusing on food stores while the getting is good, and then use the time bought with food stores to work on a better shelter. Cabins, while sturdy are pretty terrible survival shelters, which is something we can agree on. I just feel that the saying "everyone has a plan until they get punched" is applicable here. The best option really depends on the extremes you'll be facing and the resources available, and there is no formula for success other than ingenuity.
I read through your other comments, and you definitely know a lot of stuff, but I think it is important to leave some room for context. Also, when talking about how long calories from hunting and fishing, keep in mind that this can be stretched way longer with trapping and foraging. And that even if you have large game stored, if you have a decent shelter already and fishing hasn't dried up or game is still active, it is still worth fishing and hunting so you can save your already-preserved food.
I definitely agree with you that Fowler was hugely overrated though. Even on his youtube channel, he does stuff like "30 day survival, but I already shot a bear prior to the challenge so I'm gonna eat that with my other stuff".
Dave McIntyre, the winner in season 2, was a better contestant than a number of the ones listed.
how you figure? he coudn't even figure out that he should make a pontoon outrigger raft and move his camp around the rock wall and into the cove that was far more productive. He lied about how much fish and crabs he was catching, too. Crab meat is just 400 calories to the lb and a crab is only 25% edible flesh compared to live weight. You need 3000 calories per day in order to lose no weight as a big man and that's IF you just hole-up in your sleeping-gear. In order to have 3000 calories of crab, you'd have to catch 8 lbs of flesh, which would be 32 lbs of live weight crabs, which would be a 5 gallon bucket, stuffed full of them, EVERY day! Pure lies to claim he lost no weight by eating crabs caught in a natural trap in the sea weed.
you want the reflective 12x12 tarp, the rope hammock, the big roll of duct tape, the reflective tyvek bivy, the slingbow, the saw edged shovel, the modified Crunch multitool, the salt, the GORP and the pemmican.
What you want is a tent, made of half of the reflective 12x12 tarp and some of the big roll of duct tape. Given a raised bed, debris stuffing inside of the tent, 5 layers of clothing and 4 layers of debris between the clothing layers, you'll be fine without a heat source down to 30F, no problem. Then you add an external pole frame, a 6" thick layer of dry debris and the 10x16 tarp that they give to everyone. This suffices to 20F without a heat source, getting you to day 60. Once it's that cold, rain is no longer a threat. So you can pull off the tarp, fold it in half, stuff it with 6" of dry debris,. fold it in half and tie the edges. Put the reflective tyvek bivy inside of this 'debris bag", remove enough of the debris stuffing inside of the tent to let you move this bag onto the raised pole-bed.. Replace as much of the interior stuffing as possible. For the first month, you have the use of the 10x16 tarp to cover your ashes-pit and debris-pile, and to form a work-pavilion over a pole frame, vs rain and win. By day 30, you can have made a primitive shelters to do those jobs. and you will have almost no reason to be outside of your tent shelter.
if you DO need a heat source in your tent, it's MUCH more efficient to use a couple of Siberian fire layes to heat 4 head-sized rocks from both sides for half an hour. Snuff the flames with ashes or dry, loose dirt, so you dont waste firewood. Bury your coals in an ashes-pit, Move each stone into the tent, and put it into one of a row of pits under your raised pole-bed. Surround each stone with a 2' thick layer of wood ashes. The stones will warm your shelter by 20F degrees for 4-5 hours, depending upon how good a shelter you've built and what kind of rocks you have. At first, itll be too hot in the tent, requiring that you remove some of your clothing layers. As the rocks cool off, don the clothing again As the rocks cool off more, remove some of the ashes from the tops of the stones. As the stones cool down even more, remove more of the ashes. When the stones are just warm to the touch, repeat this process. Youll need very little firewood to do this for the last 2 weeks before you starve out.
All you need for a shelter, folks. is a tarp and tape tent pole-tent that can be assembled in 3 hours. After it freezes, you can add a 6" thick layer of dry debris-insulation to the outside of the tent, on an external pole frame. Then use the producer's 10sx 16 ft tarp over the debris. This suffices down to 20F. When it gets so cold that this does not suffice, convert the tarp into a 6" thick debris and tarp "sleeping bag" and cover the loose, dry debris with 3 layers of wet debris, each 2" thick. Add a layer of such debris at dusk, so that it will freeze solid overnight, repeat 2 times. then you'll not need a fire at 0F and it'll never get that cold, cause you'll never see the second week of December. under the new rules. Carleigh got hospitalized for starvation, so now they make you crap in a bucket at least once a week, or they pull you from the show. So Fowler would have been pulled, too, at 11 weeks or so.
How hard was it to add ‘spoilers’ to the title?
I had to slow it down. I'm not an android 😂
before deciding where to put up the net-weirs, you really should pull a weighted rope along the bottom of the lake, where you'll be dragging the seine, using "dead man" stakes to help you holed the net vertical in the water. When /if you snag the rope on someting, youll have to dive under the surface to free the rope, If that snag cant be removed, youll have to either mark it (with a tall pole) and work the net over/around it, or move your seining-area to some other site.
having a fire all of the time is a silly waste of fuel, time and calories. You can get by just fine with 1/4 as much firewood by heating your shelter with 4 head-sized hot rocks. Make a row of pits under your raised pole-bed. Use a pair of Siberian fire-lays to heat both sides of the 4 rocks for half an hour. Then snuff the flames with dirt or ashes. Move the stones into the pits and surround each stone with a 2" thick layer of ashes. The ashes greatly slow down the rate at which the stones lose heat. As they cool off, remove some of the ashes from the top of the stone. As the stones cool more, remove more ashes. Repeat as needed. No risk of burning the shelter. No risk of dying in your sleep from CO poisoning. Make the shelter AIR-TIGHT, so that its' MUCH warmer, with just a pinkie sized vent hole.or 2.
it's very easy to make a bow on-site that's good enough for taking fish in shallow water. the slingshot gained nothing for fowler. it was a wasted pick, cause he didnt know to make baked clay balls as "ammo". When you're making the five 1 gallon each baked clay pots and their fitted lids, it's a matter of just a couple more hours to make 100 such balls.. Rocks dont fly straight enough for use on anythng except 6" fish in 6" of water, shooting almost straight down. Just getting CLOSE suffices to stun the fish, which then floats to the top of the water. You can also stun fish in shallow water with the back of the shovel, using a 5 ft long handle that you make on-site. Just smack the surface of the water (over the fish) with the shovel, like a beaver does with his tail.
you can make the 1400 sq ft of 2" mesh netting (out of the two person cotton rope hammock) in 2 weeks, You can make the pontoon outrigger raft in one day. You can put each day's net production into 18" deep water as a baited net-weir. Once you've got enough netting also have a seine and later, some gillnets, do those things, too. Ideally, you'll get 50 lbs of whole fish and 50 lbs of heads/guts in a week or so, and use it to bait a bear into your tree blind.
Dave from Iowa made a kayak in season 1!
once you've either scored a bear, or scored 400 lbs of fish, you'll be done using the pontoon outrigger raft. So you can then return the 3 coveralls to their normal purpose. Stuff debris between each pair, of course, to enhance their insulating value. With 8 layers of clothing and debris between each layer, you can go to sleep on a pile of dry debris at 20F, with no shelter or sleeping gear at ALL. So the debris-insulated, sealed, reflective tent-shelter will easily get you thru 0F nights and you'll never see 0F degrees, cause you'll never see 11 weeks or the second week in Dec. You launch in mid sept
I liked Woniya Thibeault!
The best!
550 metres of paracord!!! 😂😂😂
no, 80 meters is all they get. A 2 person cotton rope hammock, tho, has 3600 ft of strands, 3 strands in the rope, 900 ft of rope in the hammock. Nobody's had brains enough to take one, tho.
5 weeks of staying-power has always made the difference between at least 4th place and the winner. Anyone can learn to save that 5 weeks. It's never lasted 11 weeks under current rules. If you have the ability to last a month now, I can teach you how to win with just a 3 day weekend. devoted to asking me questions online. None of these people have had a clue, actually. You dont need or want the bow, fishing kit, gillnet, belt knife, axe, saw, cookpot, paracord, sleeping bag, or ferrrorod. Instead, you want a saw-edged shovel, a customized Crunch multi-tool, the salt, the pemmican, the tarp, the bivy, the cotton rope hammock, the big roll of duct tape, IF you're a skilled bowhunter and primitive trapper, you want the slingbow and the snarewire. If you're not such a person, forget those items and instead take the trailmix and a bar of soap.
You have to submit 8 hours of video every day Well, you need to be unraveling the cotton rope hammock, unraveling the rope, unraveling the 44 threads, spinning 5 threads into string and weaving netting out of that string, You can do much of this by fire light, so you can be working 16 hours per day, with the camera watching all of it.
Create a baited net weir, 150 sq ft of netting in 18" of water, You wont need a large "purse" area, of the trap, at most 8 ft across for this circle of netting, , which, given 2 foot wide netting, means 50 sq ft of netting is used to make the purse. Another 10 sq ft of netting is used to make the "throat' of the trap. This leaves 90 sq ft of netting to make the "wings' of the weir/trap. You need two wings, so that means 45 sq ft per side and the wings need to be 2 ft wide netting, so each wing will be a bit over 20 ft long .
You can make 1400 sq ft of 2" mesh netting in 2 weeks and youll start catching fish in the first weir, which can be functional and baited in 2 days or less. Make another such weir, then another and another, Then youll have 450 sq ft of netting which you can assemble, use as a 6 ft wide seine, to force fish from 5 ft deep water into the weir.
Use the seine twice per day and when it's not so-used, set it out as a gillnet.. You can make the netting 4" wide at first, catching all of the bigger fish Later, you can overlap and offset two segments of such netting, stitch thru the knots here and there and effectively have 2" mesh netting, without wasting a lot of time and cordage on making 2' netting from the start (and then being STUCK with that size mesh). Use your head for something besides a hat-rack, and you'll do better.
This video must have found the same web site I did because they read it word for word.
All you want or need is a tarp and tape tent for the first month, with the inside stuffed with dry debris and a raised pole bed. The Baird brothers proved that to be true.
It barely freezes on the shores of Vancouver Island. After the first freeze, what you do is make an exterior pole frame for the reflective tarp and tape tent, and cover it with a 6" thick layer of dry debris. Cover the debris with the tarp that they give everyone (to protect the camera gear) Shelter completed in half a day, no need of a fire in it. These people dont even know to stuff dry debris between the layers of their clothing.as extra insulation. Most of them dont even know to "bed" their coals in their ashes, keeping the fire 'alive' all night.
Alan was the best, fight me
550 meters of paracord?! lol. No. Lots of inaccuracies in this video.
In the middle of watching season 9 right now on Netflix. Brutal spoiler.
You wont be moving the ends of the seine around, trying to force the fish up onto a single catch point on the lakeshore. Instead, you'll attach one end of the seine to the eddge of one of the weir/traps, Then loop the other end of the seine out into the lake, into 5 ft deep water, and attach the other end of the seine to the edge of the other weir. Pull the center of the seine up onto the land, creating two loops in the net. 'As you pull the center of the weir further and further up onto the land, the loops of net get smaller and smaller, This forces the fish into the two weirs. Shut the gates of the weirs, and you can re-set the seine out into the lake as a gillnet. You can make enough netting to either have several such set ups, or you can leave 400 or so sq ft of netting semi-permanently set as a gillnet. Esperience will tell you if the seining is worth doing, or if you only have time/energy enough to move the raft alonside of the gillnet. Lift a small part of the gillnet up to the surface, look for caught fish, then move the raft along the net a bit, repeat.
Fowler spent an entire DAY making a wooden water bottle that held one pint of water. Uh, you can use your rainsuit jacket-sleeves to hold 2 gallons of water. takes about 3 minutes to tie off the ends of those sleeves. Presto, very seldom need to go get water.
SPOILER ALERT. Thanks for running season 9.
Dud season 9 has been out for years,if u have not watched it by now its ur own fault
The funniest contestant was Desmond White on season 2 (although he wasn't trying to be funny!) The show did an entire segment of him at home with this family, where we heard non-stop how he was going to win because he was in the Army. He constantly said his Army career had prepared him for this! Just on & on about the Army! A family member did a bit of foreshadowing by talking about bears, but ole Army man Desmond assured everyone that the Army trained him on how to deal with bears, I think his quote was, those bears better be worried about me!! Desmond holds the record for the shortest stay on Alone! He made it an entire 6 HOURS! Not even 1 night! lol So he must have encountered a charging bear, right? Nope, he found some bear poop & had to get out of there! BAHAHA!
I know it pisses me off when they only last a few days, sometimes not even 2-3 weeks.
@@rue2073 Its truly a waste when someone like that is picked when there are so many others more qualified & determined!
@mathetes7759 Yes!!!, I'm watching this season, other than the guy that got hurt, the others leaving are like its not about survival its about finding yourself....NOOOO, The show IS about survival.
Your missing a few details
you can't heat up big rocks enough to have them give back any heat to you. Having a fire inside of your shelter is a losing proposition. You are forced to go get and process firewood and you are forced to leave vent holes in your shelter, or you'll choke on the smoke. The vents cause heat loss by radiation and convective air currents.
Sorry Juan Pablo should be on the list
really? i felt Pablo won because of a loophole. lol
Loophole?
LOL, He did very little survival techniques. He basically just outstarved everyone because he started out with a higher BMI! I watch to see how people implement survival techniques, not to see some lard ass lay in his sleeping bag and out starve others. If the producers do not correct this loophole the show is DOOMED!
@@docleadpill5556 Yikes, are you ok buddy? Calm down. Can’t control your emotions like a mature adult lmfao. Who hurt you? If you don’t like it don’t watch no need to be a whiny.
What he did was, no doubt, the most effective strategy. It wasn't in the spirit of the game. It's not enough to just sit there. This isn't a survival show, it's entertainment.
2 pairs of underwear….
All these rules were published on the history channel website which people can read without a hundred annoying whooshing noises.
This video is really confusing. I do not get the different categories.
Damn I always expected they would allow toothbrushes, toothpaste, and Glasses without taking from the ten items. Brutal , my grandmother showed me her mother's toothbrush she saved, it was basically just a carved twig.
you can keep your eyeglasses, if you have a scrip for them, but you can't use the lenses to start fires.
@@user-ci2mn1oy3w thanks for the information, I really don't wear mine a lot but would consider it a disadvantage early on especially. they would be very safe inside the camera case lmao.
On season 3 when they did a medical check on the woman when there was two contestants left standing but didn't do medical check on the man and made her tap out and declared him the winner I lost all respect for the show
A bear, ready to hibernate, is 25k% bodyfat. Google it. Fat is 3000+ calories per lb. So a 200 lb bear has 50 lbs of fat (150,000 calories) and 40 lbs of lean meat (24,000 calories). Then there's fat in the brain, marrow, and blood (another 6000 calories or so.) You need 3000 calories per day, for 7 months. 210 days, x 3000 is 630,000 calories, guys. Feeding yourself thru a Canadian winter is a very serious matter,
Amos? Greg Ovens? Hello…
it's very easy to jog 5 miles in an hour. A 5 mile radius set to let you go 1/4 mile out into the lake at one extreme of the radius, gives you 75 sq miles inn which to hunt, trap and forage. Jog out, and if not laden with a LOT of meat, jog bag.. Even for 8 hour days, that gives you 6 hours of hunting.. You are given a headlamp and batteries. So you can walk out in the dark of early morning and walk home in dark of late evening, giving yourself 8 hours of hunting daylight..
Being stuck in a lousy 2.5 sq miles is bs.of the highest order. In an hour, you can make a travois, with a padded shoulder yoke for moving a 100+ lbs of of meat at a time, and then walk 1.5 miles per hour with it. If you've known to use a tarp and tape tent as you shelter, you move camp to the big kill in 2 hours, after moving the meat, blood and brains away from the gut pile, wrapping it in the hide. Whatever you can't carry, put up in a tree. Carrion eaters and predators prefer to start with the guts anyway. Cook and eat the heart and liver, to give you strength for the trip back to camp and to ward off animals for a while, via the smoke-scent
Hey answer man. Which season of Alone did you win??? Or did you not apply to enter because it would be too easy???
My favorite was season 7 when Roland won.
What's the thing with the 'barbless' hooks???
canada wants to reserve its fish for the Native Americans. So you're supposed to catch and release. Barbs make a catch a lot more likely to kill the fish.
Take the shovel, having modified it to have 8" of saw teeth on one side and make other, longer, different shaped handles for it. Then it's no big deal to drive some stakes, make a retaining wall and carve yourself out a flat spot on the side of a steep hill, say, 20 ft above the level of the lake. It only needs to be 10 ft long and 5 ft wide. You can do this in one day. There's no need of a warming fire, so there's no need to go to the top of the hill for firewood, meaning ther'es no need of cutting steps or making handrails for climbing the hill. Once you've climbed the hill, leave a strand of rope from the hammock, to help you safely ascend and descend the hill. Duh.
YOu're clearing $250 per waking hour while on this show, if you WIN. So ACT like it! figure out a little bit more than this 13 year old boy scout bs.
Why did you have to spoil who won season 9? I was looking forward to starting watching that season today. It’s my favourite show! Well pissed off!!
the real score is to use 50 lbs of whole fish and 50 lbs of boiled fish heads and guts to bait a bear to within 10m of your tree blind. Bears have to get as fat as possible for hibernation and they can smell such a bait from several miles away. They cannot just ignore such a windfall of food. So you'll get multiple chances to arrow a bear.
Bears, ready to hibernate, are 25% bodyfat and fat is 3000 calories per lb. 4-5x as much food as lean meat or fish. So a 200 lb bear, (which is a small one when fat) has 180,000 calories. If you're just holed-up i your sleeping gear, such a bear offers you enough calories to lose no weight at all for 60 days.
Mixed with 200 lbs of fish (ie, 60,000 calories) and say, 20,000 calories of cambium (600 calories to the lb) you'll end up having lost NO weight in 75 days. maybe even gain 5 lbs, if you started with the 10,000 calories of pemmican and gorp rations, which you of course SHOULD. and mix them with cambium.
they THINK that they want a shelter big enough to stand up in and with a fire inside. No, you dont. You want an 8 ft long, 3.5x3.5 ft, triangular tent, stuffed with dry debris and a raised pole bed. That suffices for the first month, no heat source is needed, at all.
when it first freezes, THEN you add an external pole frame, a 6" thick layer of dry debris and cover it with the 10x16 ft tarp that they give you. This takes 3 hours and suffices for the second month of your stay. Again, this is without a heat source being needed. For the last 2-3 weeks of your stay, remove the tarp, and add 3 layers, 2" thick per layer, of wetted debris. Do this about 2 hours before dark. Let each layer freeze over night.
Fold the tarp in half, stuff it with a 6" thick layer of dry debris. Fold this assembly in half again and tie the edges. Put your reflective tyvek bivy inside of this bag. Remove enough of the debris-stuffing inside of the tent to let you move this debris bag onto your 8" high, 30" wide, 6 ft long pole-bed., leaving a 6" thick layer of dry debris between the bag and your pole-bed.. Replace as much of the loose debris into the tent as possible.
This suffices until you're too emaciated to make metabolic heat. Then you need a row of pits under your raised bed and 4 head sized rocks. Use a pair of Siberian fire lays to heat both sides of the rocks at once. Snuff the flames with dry, loose dirt or ashes. Bury some coals and charcoal in the ashes-pit, so that you can easily ignite the shavings inside of your Alternative Swedish fire torches.
Keep the torches dry under the little primitive A Frame shelter that protects your ashes pit from rain or snow-melt. Use the Swedes to ignite the Siberians when all is wet or covered with snow. Move the hot rocks into the tent and surround each stone with a 2" thick layer of ashes. Use the ashes to control the rate at whih the stones lose their heat.
This trick will let you add 20F degrees of heat to your reflective, sealed tent for 5 plus hours. This lets you use 4x less wood when you need the heat source, as vs having a fire burning all of the time, and it does so without the risk of burning down your shelter or giving yourself emphysema by breathing smoke. There's no need of a heat source at all in your tent for the first 60 days.
This "tent-and-hot-rock" set up saves 1-3 weeks of shelter-building and 2 more weeks of firewood-processing/hauling. It also means that you dont need the axe or the saw. The saw-edged shovel is enough for the minor amounts of wood processing needed and it's much more useful for digging the ashes pit, the clay-processing pits, etc, than any pointed stick can ever be!
Can't believe the creator of this video didn't put Jordan Jonas as nr1. He even fed the crew with all the meat he had left over ffs.
Always thought the show would be better if they let them bring whatever but with a weight limit.
whats funny about this participants! they keep bragging about being a survival insttructors then again they tap the 2nd day! survival is not about how u make fire from wood. you guys need to train mentally! to many people try to join this . but it was just wasted to looser participants who cant manage being ALONE for two days!
none have known what to take or do. you've got to take the 2 person cotton rope hammock and make the 120 sq ft of 2" mesh netting per day out of it, for 10 days, Each day's net-production goes into the water as a baited net-weir, until day 7. By then, you'll have enough netting made to assemble 4 day's production into a 5 x100 ft seine. Move a seine 3x per day thru thousands of feet of heavily-baited water and you're going to catch a lot of fish. Butcher the fish in the weirs, so that the blood and guts further bait the water. if you have no fish in your area, make a "chum-line", up to 1/4 mile long, a tarp and tape bait-bag and wooden float every 20m. The little holes in the bags drip out the rotting fish scent/taste, drawing minnows and big fish come for the minnows.
There are a lot of know-it-alls in these comments.
And a lot of unsubstantiated claims of contestants cheating and lying.
Pitiful. Now go drink your sodas and eat to your heart's content. 😂😂😂😂
if you cant use 6 short dowels and 5 pieces of wood, each 2 ft long , to make a composite bow, you dont belong on this show. 2 of the dowels form fulcrums that the 2 backing limbs bend over, creating much more tension in the bow.
if you dont take the rope hammock, it's proof that you dont know what matters. Making lots of netting out of the hammock is the most likely way to feed yourself with fish and cambium. Using a stake and log bait box full of fish to lure a bear within 10m of your tree blind assures you of the win, as long as you dont get sick or hurt. Some of these people would hurt themselves in a park and get sick just from walking down the street.
Spoiler tag guys! I haven't seen season 9 yet. Now I don't have too. Get bent
the ones who got big game just got LUCKY. Neither one of them had ANY other game plan. Most contestants never even SEE a big animal, much less have it be on their little 2.5 sq miles of alloted land, much less get a viable bow-shot at it. Jordan MISSED the moose once, and hit it in the guts. It took 2 hours for the moose to die and that is NEVER the case with a lung hit, which is what the show claimed that he got. The hole in the chest wall causes the OTHER lung to collapse, too, guys. Within a very few minutes, a lung hit is fatal. So the kill was a luck hit, from too far away.
The other asshole wasted so much of his energy on the stupid rock house that he could not make a proper stalk. He shot the musk ox in the as and then let it suffer for FIVE HOURS cause he was too dumb to have a bow quiver and only had one broadhead arrow. He was too lazy to trot 10 minutes back to his camp and get more arrows and too ignorant to use half a bootlace to lash his belt knife to a sapling pole as a spear. The rest of his bootlaces and 3 rocks or hunks of wood would make a bola. Practice with the bola a few minutes, then sneak up on the wounded ox from downwind. Entangle its legs with the bola and when it goes down, thrust the spear into its neck from the side, between the spine and the windpipe. Rip out the windpipe with a sawing motion, towards the front of the neck. 30 minutes at worst, maybe only 15.
Why do most of them give up? What’s a pattern?
they dont know what to take or do. I"d not bother to take the bow, axe, saw, paracord, cookpot, gillnet, snarewire, fishing kit, belt-knife or ferrorod.
Dude... half the comments on this video are from the one guy with a weird bot username giving unwanted advice... huh?
Huge spoiler right at the beginning of the video … thanks !!!
people aint smart enough to PRACTICE making the tent and pants while still at home, using cheap plastic sheeting. Once you know what size and shape of plastic you need, use that plastic or the measurements to mark the lines on your reflective tarp with permanent market. this will speed things up a lot when you launch and avoid costly mistakes.
Guys will see this and go Hell Yeah
if you know how to invest intelligently, 50k shoud set you up nicely in 2-3 years. If you dont, you'll lose 400 million in 10 years. Just ask Mike Tyson about that!
You must mix in some diced, boiled, then fried cambium with the fish, or you'll crap yourself to death. the cambium has to be so treated, or your body cant digest it and you must mix fat with the cambium or it'll lock up your guts. Fish are 8% fat by bodyweight, but it's mostly in the heads and skins. You can boil the fish and skim the fats off of the top of the water. or just drink the broth. You can't choke down enough fish and cambium to keep from losing bodyweight, but you can cut the rate of such loss in half, or a bit more. Losing 1/2 lb of fat per day beats hell out of losing 1.2 lbs per day, eh? Losing 35 lbs in 75 days, as vs losing 90 lbs. they wont pull a 6ft tall man who started at 180 lbs still weighs 145 lbs, but they'll pull a man who's down to 130 lbs from 220!. WHICH one starts at a healthy weight, hmm?
Zachary Fowler should be number one
Thanks for the spoilers
When this show first came out I loved it. As a backpacker and someone who spends most of my time in the wilderness I dreamed of being on this show one day. Then I things that were questionable. The last straw was when they forced a dude to leave after checking on him. Me being poor I would stay out there until death if I had to. That money would change my family's life so there's no way I'd leave on my own. The show is rigged
you sign a contract that let's them pull you if your BMI drops below 17. They aint going to let you or your family sue them cause you got hurt or died. and if yo u"think' the clear 350k is going to change the lives of an entire family, you must live in the Bangladesh. badlands
@@user-ci2mn1oy3w I live in america and my family is poor and has always been poor. Fuck 350k, 100k would drastically change our lives. Idk if you knew but a good portion of america is one check away from being homeless. I'd sign a waiver that said I won't sue. I'd rather die out there then lose. That would be my only chance in life to ever get close to getting that much money and I wouldn't let it slip away. I'd either win or die, those are my only two options. My family surives on like 30k a year. 350k is over 10 times that
@@nomaderic you'll have used it all up in 3 years, probably in less.
@@nomaderic you'll have used it all up in 3 years, probably in less. You are one ignorant guy to think like this. I lived in an old minivan for 3 years, on the sales of my plasma, eating free at a church, the SA mission, with food stamps. I did so so as to save my 12k per year college loans. I used that money and a vet's VA home loan to convert a big old house into a dozen small rooms, which I rented out for $150 per week each. Do the math. It's 95k per year. In less than a year, I made the vet the live-in tenant manager and the money financed another such boarding house, then another. If you knew how to make 350 k last longer than 3 years, youd not be in poverty.
At the end of the day this is a t.v show backed by networks and sponsors that absolutely cannot allow someone to starve to death on their show.
The contestants signed a contract that states they can be pulled if their organs are at risk of shutting down due to starvation. If you don’t want to be pulled and lose your chance at that money, be the best survivor of the season and procure enough food to survive. Simple as that.
The winners win because they did exactly that, not because it was rigged. That’s silly to even suggest.
Also, just a heads up, if you went until you starved to death, you’d likely come in 4th place so it wouldn’t do you any good anyway.
Thanks for the spoiler alerts 👎🏼
Are contestants not allowed to put spikes around their camp/shelter for protection. Ive watched most of the seasons and there isnt a rule about this
You could, but it’s a horrible idea
wouldn't stop a bear and it would be a huge waste of time and calories. People scared of animals need not apply for this challenge. I'd not bother to make more than a tarp and tape pole-tent for this show.
@@user-ci2mn1oy3w I had the same thought, they probably just dont want to use the calories. I mean they could make them as soon as possible instead of 20-30 days in
@@MyHeroLucille it's much more important to make the 1200 sq ft of 2" mesh netting out of the cotton rope hammock and the pontoon outrigger raft. The raft takes one day, and you can make 120 sq ft of such netting per day. Each days' net production goes into the water at 18" depths, as a baited net weir, until you can make a seine out of some of it.

I can save you 2 weeks worth of calories and time that you'd waste on a shelter, 2 more weeks that you'd waste on firewood and at least a week that you'd waste on boiling 2 qts of water at a time, 3x per day. Then I can show you how to use that 5 week's worth of calories and time to forage 150-400k of calories, enabling you to win the show. You only need to spend 3 hours on making a tarp and tape pole tent, which will suffice for the first month. Then you need to spend 3 hours on adding an insulation layer on the outside of the tent, which will suffice to about day 60. Then you'll need to spend a couple of hours at a time, 3x, adding the winterization steps that give you the ability to handle 0F degrees, which you'lll never see while you're on this show.. Yo'u'll be gone by Dec 1, and launch in mid Sept. So you wont see more than the very beginning of winter. all of this "prepping" to handle -30F temps is a crock. Last season, they never made it to Thanksgivin day, much less xmas.
if you were doing this for real, you'd have to catch at least two BIG bears,3 medium sized bears, or 4 smaller ones, along with 400 lbs of fish, or you'd never make it thru the winter. winter aint over with up there before 1 may. By starving out before 1 December, they never really see even the BEGINNING of winter, ,, much less had a chance of living all the way thru it. They still have 5 months to go, 2x longer than their total stay up there. The launch at 50F degrees and it doesnt even freeze for a month. They have no IDEA what to do vs real cold. Those lame shelters that they build, full of holes, are worthless. The ox torturer's stone house let him lose 44 lbs, in SPITE of eating a lot of fish, a porcupine and a musl ox.. You should not lose more than 1 lb per day if you're hanging out in your shelter. So he went thru the fish, the porcupine and the ox in 56 days, much worse than everyone else has done, when it comes to food and weight loss.
Clay hayes
none of them have amounted to much, if they were not fat and lucky, none of them would last more than 6 weeks. or so. They average losing over a lb per day, and if you're fit, you cant spare the loss of 45 lbs. A fit 6 ft tall man is 180 lbs or less.. They'll pull you for sure if you drop below 140 lbs at that height.
This is NOT a good video. The dude didn’t even bother to find out how to pronounce their names. How he arrived at his order is a total mystery. Certainly not well informed.
It’s a robo voice
Seriously Clay Hayes not on the list. A great bushman.
You forgot to mention that Jordan KILLED A FRIGGEN MOOSE
so? he MISSED it once, making the hit nothing but a heads or tails toss, ie, pure luck.
So, camping...
No contenstant that played the 'starve' game should be on the list your top contestants list mostly sucks
none of them have known what to take or do. The only thing I'd take that others have taken is the ration of pemmican. Nobody has known to take the duct tape. Only a couple have known to take the shovel, tarp or the hammock and the ones who did take them didnt know what to do with them. Nobody's known to make a log-FRAMED pontoon outrigger raft (in one day) mostly by firelight. It's portable. Nobody has made enough netting to make any difference and if they did, they wouldn't know how to use it effectively. Nobody's known to take a slingbow. Only a couple have known to take the salt. Only a couple have known to not take the ferrorod. Nobody's known to not take the sleeping bag, axe, saw, paracord or cookpot. Only one has made pottery and she only made what amounted to small bowls. What you need is half a dozen 1-gallon pots, with close-fitting, gasketed lids.
You’ve gotta be a bot or else you’re 100% fit for this show and should go prove to us you can do this as you seem to know ALL of it.
Go ahead and prove your words in actions for us.
@@mushlove6933 I've applied for every season since the first. They dont want anything to do with somebody who actually DOES know how to get thru the winter. What you do is use 100 lbs of netted fish, in a stake and log bait box, to lure in several bears and arrow them from a tree blind. Bears, fat for hibernation are 25% fat. and you MUST have fat to get thru the 6+ months of winter up there. That's why the Innuit stayed on the coasts, so they could get seals, walrus, narwhales, whales, very fatty animals, often not hard to catch and some offering tons of meat and fat.

so what im understanding is the show is half bullshit and half extra bullshit
Wow bro way to fuckin spoil season 9 for me. 🤦♂️ coulda said Thai was going to have spoilers dude I’m literally episode 7 into season 9 rn
Jesus Christ speak like a human or stop with the ai
In 20 years I feel like this show will be exposed for being completely staged
Definitely not
AND Thats why I don't watch this Crap!! Not reality of life. I'm ready to die in the bush. Even with my health issues. My family know I may not be coming back some day. Damaged lungs and Medication. I lived almost 20 years now in the BUSH. PICK a hermit and follow them around for a year. This would be reality of life. Not these pretenders and Survival Experts. Only person I think was Real. Was Roland.
men over 20% bodyfat and women over 25% should not be allowed on this challenge. That's a crock. They should be required to make a bow and arrows, a stable watercraft, half a dozen 1-gallon each baked clay pots, with closely fitted, gaskedt lids, too. Not just hole-up on their bodyfat. What a crock that is!
You really should have put a spoiler warning
