The area the show was filmed in has no shortage of fish and game. Beaver and fish would be the most reliable sources of food. lots of Moose, grizzly, black bears and wolves in the area too. Muskrats, frogs, squirrels, grouse, ptarmigan and all fur bearers too.
Moose wouldve been responsive to calls and waterfowl were still around at the start of filming as well.

They actually pick individuals that will FAIL. I think New House 114 has been turned down 2 times. Because he would win hands down.
You have to go through rigours physical and mental testing. That might've been the case in the earlier seasons but the contestants seem more competent the past couple seasons. William Larkham Jr can for sure hold up against anyone. Real deal outdoorsman and the only guy I seen wearing a parka when getting dropped off . I've been following him on youtube for 15+ years. I was interviewed for life below zero Canada but I said i wont take part if there's any added drama. I didn't get a call back after saying that.

You can build a wigwam with a smoke vent hole like back in the day. Tarp should not be necessary. If Wm can get the food with the rabbit snares and gill net (dry/smoke fish before freeze up) and built an old style wigwam then we see. He has an axe for fire wood and construction of wigwam* + he knows how to make fire with that sparker he has. And a person, again like back in the day, would have to eat just about every part of the animal. No fillets lol. They say a lot of contestants pack on the lbs before they do this too.
Above just speculating of course but how to do all this has already been invented but fallen out of use.
Gonna watch tonight and gonna be real interesting how they all tackle it.
Most of their food will be boiled so the nutrition will be all in the broth. Id eat frozen fish and meat once the temps drop too. more energy that way

The last season I watched, because I will not pay for TV and get them a few years old, two guys had to leave early sick from eating beaver fat or what was contaminated on their hands. The guy that killed a deer with his bow one year was the real deal. The guy who killed a moose said he was starving from eating lean meat, wolverine got his fat stored up. I love the show, you see the later seasons people had sponsors for gear I think.

I watch very little TV but did see this thread and watched most of it. I liked what I watched mostly for the beautiful country they are in. I will watch it again if I know it is on. Does anyone know when it comes on again and is it a weekly show etc?
Give me a fish, I will eat for a day. Teach me to fish, I will eat for a lifetime

First episode and one guy is already done. That could have been the end of him when he pulled that out if it hit the artery a bad spot t get a hole in a guy. Probably would have been fatal if he hit the artery anyway who knows.
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

I don’t have cable, so I don’t know how to follow it now as far as recent episodes. I wouldn’t even know what streaming service would have it

You have to go through rigours physical and mental testing. Been turned down about 11 times now. I’m starting to hope my age (66) might be an advantage in future seasons.

I wouldn’t even know what streaming service would have it You can watch them online somehow on the Alone section of the History channel website. I'm not sure if it is only the previous night's episode or if you have to join something to watch, but you can figure it out here... https://www.history.com/shows/aloneGood show.

Yep; Cubby is gone. Very scary accident with the arrow. He was at day 3, I believe, and was just making his first survey of his kingdom when it happened. After 3 days, he didn't even have the structure up to hang his tarp on. Glad I can watch it from here instead of doing it.
