The HISTORY Channel’s hit survival series “Alone” is back like never before and taking place in the most dangerous location yet. In Season 8, 10 contestants fight to survive in the Canadian wilderness on the shores of Chilko Lake, British Columbia. Equipped with just 10 items and a camera kit, each participant must survive in total isolation, with the hopes of lasting the longest and winning the $500,000 prize. Not only must they endure hunger, loneliness and the elements, but this season, they also face the deadliest predator in North America: the grizzly bear. No camera crews. No gimmicks. It is the ultimate test of human will.

Water bottle is the best idea. Ditching the axe for a saw is a good idea. TBH paracord is over rated. A ferro rod, and use that snare wire to lash shelter would be my choice over assorted nylon twine.
None of this actually matters. What matters is what actual gear/clothing you bring.
Poor guy really seemed out of his element from day 1. Did he skip out on the exit interview as well?
He failed. Funny thing is he kept talking about not being bothered about being judged so much that you could tell it does bother him.
This dude upset and taking it out on the audience about his lack of discipline. He signs up for it and cries lol. I knew he wasn’t going to last
Is anyone using fishing nets to catch more than one fish at a time?
This guy deserves more credit. He was the only HIV positive contestant on alone. It’s not easy to go out there and do this stuff when your immune system is compromised.
Total waste of an item to bring food.
Should’ve brought a multi-tool instead of food and then he could’ve brought a ferro rod instead of a knife.
Everyone saying they understand his logic with the water bottle. I’m like, WTF are you smoking? He basically said, “I can do everything with it I can do with my cooking pot.” He basically brought two pots.
thanks
These saws are for cutting down massive trees they are for logging not survival use a pocket boy don’t be a wanker .
This dude was a bit too wild in the trees for me. Im setting a fund to finance the poor guy a brush.
The pot has plastic clips on it. He needs one with the metal clips.
That’s not the knife he used in the episodes. He used a Cold Steel SRK.
Never wise to not take a ferro rod. Energy saver to the max !!!!
Ferro Rod, Ferro Rod, Ferro Rod.
An extremely insecure man, I really did not enjoy his commentary throughout the show.
What’s included in the food ration pack?
When I camped in the Andes I would boil my water at night put it in a stainless steel water bottle, slide it into a wool sock then put it in the foot of my sleeping bag. It kept me warm and cozy all night then the next day I had clean boiled water to drink.
the only thing that you or anyone else has taken that I woiuld take is the rations and most of them dont know what rations to take. You want the pemmican and/or the gorp, for the fat and protein. The fat lets you mix in some diced, boiled, then fried cambium, stretching your rations by maybe 20%. There’s a helluva lot of work needs to get done that first 1–2 weeks and you’ll need energy with which to do that. It aint the tropics, so you’ll be burning extra calories 24–7, trying to stay warm. You wont get away with just sleeping on a mat on a dirt floor, with another mat over you.
you dont want or need the bow, saw, axe, cookpot, ferrorod, paracord, fishing kit, gillnet, sleeping bag, belt knife. 99% of you will gain nothing by taking the snarewire. You wont take the right kind of multitool, which is a modifed version of the Leatherman Crunch the serrated SS knife blade, phillips and worthless file have to go. Replace them with a pair of real deal Nicholson files and a carbon steel normal knife blade, taken from an Old Hickory paring knife. The medium flathead blade becomes a scoop knife and a chisel. The small flathead becomes an awl and two edged ‘drill” blade, for making the mounting holes in the various lengths and configurations of handles that you need to make for the saw-edged variant of the Cold Steel shovel.
Make a tent out of locally-source poles, the duct tape and half of the reflective 12x12 tarp. Build a 30″ wide, 8″ high, 6ft long raise pole-bed inside of the tent, Pack the tent with loose, dry debris. The bivy keeps the debris off of you. The debris adds to your (false) sense of security vs big animals, give you insulation, holds the tent off of you and absorbs the air-born moisture that our bodies are constantly giving off. that’s all you need in order to sleep ok down to 30F degrees, which gets you thru at least the first month of your stay. You can create all of this is 6 hours, if you know how. That leaves time to make the stone-boiling pit for your drinking water. You can weave the basket needed to store the 5 gallons of boiled water by firelight, Line it with a chunk of the tarp. This is with just 5 layers of clothing, debris between each layer inside of the tyvek bivy. The backpack and 2–3 of the 3 sets of coveralls will be stuffed with debris, sewn and taped and be used as pontoons for the wood framed outrigger-raft.
Emergency rations? I thought they were dropped in there with nothing!
