Cade Cole's Alone Season 10 Gear List: All 10 Items

Spoiler note: this covers how Alone Season 10 ended for Cade Cole.

Cade Cole placed sixth in Season 10, lasting 23 days at Reindeer Lake before he was medically evacuated after losing consciousness. Cole's own page has more on his run, and our Season 10 guide covers the full ten-person field.

Cole is a conservationist and expert hunter and tracker from Crowheart, Wyoming, and his gear list is the most unusual of the season. He's the only recorded Season 10 contestant who skipped both the axe and the saw entirely.

The full list

No specific model is recorded for any of Cole's items, so none are guessed here. The closest gear-database match for his cutting tool is the hunting knife category page, though the source data just says "knife" without further detail. The shovel and bar of soap picks are also worth a look, since both are uncommon choices for the season.

What the list says about his run

An expert hunter and tracker skipping both an axe and a saw is a real departure from how most of the Season 10 cast built their kits. Nine of the other contestants carried at least one heavy cutting tool for shelter and firewood work; Cole relied on a knife alone for that role and used two of his ten slots on a shovel and a bar of soap instead, categories that barely appear elsewhere in the season's recorded lists.

That's a specialist's bet, built around Cole's hunting and tracking background rather than a generalist's hedge. It didn't pay off in longevity. Twenty-three days is short relative to the rest of the field, and a medical evacuation after losing consciousness suggests the setback was physical rather than a direct result of his gear choices. Whether the lighter cutting-tool setup left him short on shelter quality isn't something the recorded data confirms either way.

How it compares across the season

Cole's 23 days puts him just ahead of the bottom four contestants, who all cleared 22 days or fewer, and well behind the top five, who ran from 40 to 66 days. His gear list is the clearest outlier in the season's data: everyone else recorded carried some combination of axe and saw, while Cole carried neither.

Across the wider franchise, only 101 of 187 recorded Alone contestants have a gear list at all, and a contestant skipping both heavy cutting tools is rare enough to be worth noting rather than treating as a standard pattern.
