Michela Carriere's Alone Season 11 Gear List: All 10 Items

Spoiler note: this covers how Alone Season 11 ended, including Michela Carriere's placement and days lasted.

Michela Carriere is a Cree-Métis adventure guide who works with Aski Holistic Adventures. On Alone Season 11, filmed in the Mackenzie River Delta near Inuvik, Northwest Territories, roughly 125 miles north of the Arctic Circle, she lasted 18 days before leaving due to loneliness and isolation, placing seventh out of ten. Her contestant page is here.

The full list

Item	What it's for
Sleeping bag	Insulation through arctic nights
Ferro rod	Fire starting
Axe	Shelter building and firewood processing
Multitool	General repair and small camp tasks
Paracord	Shelter lashing and camp utility
Bow and arrows	Primary big-game hunting tool
2-quart pot	Cooking and boiling water
Snare wire	Passive small-game trapping
Fish net	Food from the delta's river system
Saw	Cutting larger timber for shelter and fuel

No brand or model is recorded for any of Carriere's ten items. One choice sets her list apart from most of the Season 11 field: a fish net rather than the fishing line and hooks kit that eight of her nine castmates carried. Only winner William Larkham Jr. made a similar move, bringing a homemade gill net instead of a standard fishing kit, though Carriere's net and Larkham's are recorded as distinct items in the show's gear data, not the same product.

Loneliness, not the environment, ended her run

Carriere's background as an adventure guide translates directly into a kit built around active food gathering: a bow for big game, a net for fish, and snare wire for passive small-game backup, three different approaches working at once. That's a strong strategic spread by any measure. What cut her run short at 18 days wasn't a gear or food problem. The recorded reason is loneliness and isolation, a psychological toll that Alone's format is built to test as directly as physical survival skill.

That distinction matters for how her run should be read. Eighteen days placed her ahead of Peter Albano's 8 and Dusty Blake's 10, but well behind the three Season 11 contestants who cracked 80 days. Isolation-driven exits are one of the most common reasons contestants leave the show relatively early even when their gear and food situation is holding up fine, a pattern that shows up across multiple seasons in the franchise's recorded data.

What the list says about her run

Carriere's ten items, sleeping bag, axe, saw, ferro rod, and paracord for the basics, plus bow, fish net, and snare wire stacked for food, don't point to any resource shortfall. The net choice in particular suggests someone who trusted her own read of the water over a standard-issue fishing kit, the same instinct that led eventual winner Larkham to bring a gill net of his own. Her 18-day run ending on isolation rather than hunger or injury is a reminder that in this format, the hardest thing to pack for is the mental toll of being genuinely alone.
