Alone is an American survival competition series on History. It follows the self-documented daily struggles of 10 individuals (seven paired teams in season 4) as they survive alone in the wilderness for as long as possible using a limited amount of survival equipment. With the exception of medical check-ins, the participants are isolated from each other and all other humans. They may "tap out" at any time, or be removed due to failing a medical check-in. The contestant who remains the longest wins a grand prize of $500,000 (USD) (increased to $1 million for season 7). The seasons have been filmed across a range of remote locations, usually on first nations-controlled lands, including northern Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Nahuel Huapi National Park in Argentina, Patagonia, Northern Mongolia, Great Slave Lake in the Northwest Territories, and Chilko Lake in interior British Columbia.
The series premiered on June 18, 2015. On August 19, before the finale of season 1, it was announced that the series had been renewed for a second season, which would begin production in the fall of 2015 on Vancouver Island, Canada.[1] Season 2 premiered on April 21, 2016. Season 3 was filmed in the second quarter of 2016 in Patagonia, Argentina, and premiered on December 8.[2] One day before the season 3 premiere, History announced that casting had begun for season 4. Season 4 was set in Northern Vancouver Island with a team dynamic and premiered on June 8, 2017. Season 5 was set in Northern Mongolia and allowed losers from previous seasons to return and compete. It premiered on June 14, 2018. Season 6 premiered on June 6, 2019[3] and featured ten all-new contestants between the ages of 31 and 55. It was set just south of the Arctic Circle on a lake in the Northwest Territories of Canada.
The seventh season premiered on June 11, 2020. Participants attempted to survive for 100 days in the Arctic in order to win a $1 million prize. Season 9 sent contestants to the northeast of Canada in Labrador. A tenth season premiered on June 8, 2023.[4] Spin-offs and international versions of the series have also since been made.
Season 8 was set on Chilko Lake, in British Columbia on the coast Mountain range. Season 9 then took the show across the country to northern Labrador and bounced back to northern Saskatchewan in 2023. The current eleventh season is set in the Arctic circle, in Inuvik, Northwest Territories.
Contestants are dropped off in a remote wilderness area, far enough apart to ensure that they will not come in contact with one another.[5] The process begins in mid- to late autumn; this adds time pressure to the survival experience as the approaching winter causes temperatures to drop and food to become scarce. Although terrains may differ in each contestant's location, the drop-off zones are assessed in advance to ensure a similar distribution of local resources is available to each contestant.
Contestants each select 10 items of survival gear from a pre-approved list of 40, and are issued a kit of standard equipment, clothing and first aid/emergency supplies.[6] They are also given a set of cameras to document their daily experiences and emotions. Attempting to live in the wild for as long as possible, the contestants must find food, build shelters, and endure deep isolation, physical deprivation and psychological stress.
Contestants who wish to withdraw from the competition for any reason (referred to as "tapping out") may signal a rescue crew using a provided satellite telephone. In addition, medical professionals conduct periodic health checks on the contestants and may, at their discretion, disqualify and evacuate anyone they feel is unable to continue participating safely. The last remaining contestant wins a $500,000 (USD) cash prize.[5] Contestants are warned that the show might last for up to a year.[7]
Season 4 was also filmed in Northern Vancouver Island but included a team dynamic. Fourteen contestants, consisting of seven family-member pairs, were individually dropped off in remote areas of Northern Vancouver Island. The two members of each team chose 10 items of survival gear to be equally divided between them. The team chose one member to be taken to a campsite; the other began approximately 10 mi (16.09 km) away and was required to hike to the site, using only a compass and bearing to find the way. If either member tapped out or was medically evacuated, his/her partner was disqualified as well. The last remaining team won the $500,000 (USD) prize.
For Season 7, the contestants attempted to survive for 100 days in order to win a grand prize of $1 million. In an "Alone: Tales from the Arctic" segment at the end of each episode, host Colby Donaldson spoke post-season to the contestants featured in that episode about what occurred, accompanied by "never before seen footage."
Season 8 was filmed in fall 2020 on the shores of Chilko Lake, British Columbia, a high-altitude glacial-fed lake on the dry eastern side of the Coast Mountains. The season reverts to the original format of the show, with the last person standing (regardless of time frame) declared the winner and awarded $500,000 (USD).[8]
Season 9 was filmed in fall 2021 and set in the harsh weather conditions of Northeastern Labrador. The season featured two new digital content series: "The Ride Back", which focused on the emotions of the participants ahead of tapping out, and "Shelter From the Storm", an in-depth look at the ingenious shelters the participants build. Also, for the first time, the participants have to deal with a prey-stalking predator, the polar bear.[9]
The series received positive reviews in its first season and outstanding reviews for its third season, and earned 2.5 million total viewers, placing it in the top three new nonfictional cable series of 2015.[10][irrelevant citation]
The first spin-off series of Alone is called Alone: The Beast, which premiered on January 30, 2020 and is broken up into 6 episodes. In this series, three people (per episode) attempt to survive in the wild for 30 days, with no tools or supplies except for their own clothing and a freshly killed animal. The first three episodes take place somewhere in the North American Arctic Circle, and each trio is provided either a 1,000-pound bull moose or musk ox. The last three episodes take place in the swamps of Louisiana, where they are given an alligator and wild boar, respectively. There are no prizes given for the winners other than honor/bragging rights.
In 2022, two new spin-off series were ordered. Alone: Frozen drops six former contestants on Labrador's east coast in the dead of winter, where they must survive for a set 50 days. The person or people who lasted that long split a cash prize of $500,000 (USD).[11] Alone: The Skills Challenge, brings back three former contestants who put their bushcraft skills to the test in head-to-head building competitions. Contestants are provided basic tools and can only use the natural resources around them. Both shows aired at the beginning of August after Season 9.[12]
I located Alone and set series recording on the guide (long pressing ok on the guide to bring up record menu). Right off the bat I can select series recording or ep recording. However, when in the "scheduled" tab, it only shows the individual ep, despite selecting series recording. I suspect this is related to the series recording bug that has been flagged here.
I am having the same issue with Naked and Afraid Castaways on the Discovery Channel. The series doesn't record. I've also had this and the Bear Grylls Challenge simply fall off of my scheduled recordings. Never had any of these issue with Eastlink. In fact, the Eastlink recording is, in my opinion, more advanced than Telus in that you can pull up a show after it has played and rewind it without having to replay the whole show. If you leave the channel and go back to it, you can still rewind it. With Telus, once you leave a channel and then go back to it, you can only restart the show from the beginning and not rewind it partially. I am a recent convert to Telus and so far, to say the least, the experience hasn't been that great.
Then he did just that. When a furry mammal eventually paddled into view, Hill shot it twice and appeared to be moments away from enjoying a meal of delicious beaver chops. Alas, Hill could not locate his kill before the sun went down, and the episode ended on a cliff-hanger.
I recently spoke with Jonas, who explained just how time-consuming and difficult it was to catch the giant beast. Jonas spent 20 days scouting his region for moose tracks. He built a makeshift series of corrals and fences to steer moose into one area, fashioned a string of tin cans to operate as an alarm system, and then he waited.
From the cushy perspective of my living-room couch, killing a beaver seems like a significantly easier task. There was no stabbing, and Burns said he invested a week stalking the beaver, not three. His experience did reveal a major flaw in hunting beaver, though: After he shot the beaver, it floated lifelessly in a chest-deep lake. So Burns had to wade into 31-degree water to retrieve the animal. Imagine entering your favorite restaurant only to learn that you must take a dip in an ice bath before receiving your steak.
I recently called Jim Shields, a wilderness-skills teacher from Pennsylvania who was the first contestant to bail out during season three, after spending just three days camping along a river in Patagonia. Sheilds and his wife had been immersed in the process of adopting three children when he departed for the show, and the emotional stress of being away at such an important time ultimately did him in. Sheilds said he wrestled with the decision each day in the bush.
After calling to be rescued, Sheilds suffered an intense feeling of shame, which lingered for months. He felt it on the boat ride back to civilization and during the two-week process of undergoing safety checks and then traveling back home. Shields had taken months off from his teaching job and arrived back in the States with no work to distract him from his angst.
