About Survival Show Guide

I started keeping notes on Alone the way some people keep notes on a fantasy league: which contestant picked which knife, who regretted leaving the axe behind, how many days a good tarp actually bought someone. This site is that notebook, cleaned up and organized into something you can actually search.

Every season gets a location, a cast list, tap-outs, and (once the season's wrapped) the winner's story. Every contestant I can document gets their full 10-item gear list. And every one of the 44 gear categories the show draws from gets its own page, with the specific products contestants have carried and the rules attached to that category where I could source them.

To be upfront about what this is: Survival Show Guideis an independent fan project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or produced in partnership with History, A&E Networks, SBS, or anyone involved in making Alone. Everything here is my own research and writing as a viewer of the show.

Some of the product links on this site are Amazon affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission if you buy something through them, at no extra cost to you. It doesn't change what I write about an item, and it's the reason the site can stay free to read. More detail on that is on the affiliate disclosure page.

If you spot something wrong, a gear pick I've misattributed, a date that's off, anything, I'd genuinely like to fix it.
