Sarah Poynter's Alone Season 11 Gear List: All 10 Items

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

Sarah Poynter runs a fishing lodge in Alaska with her husband, which makes her arctic-adjacent background one of the more directly relevant resumes in Alone Season 11's cast. She was dropped in the Mackenzie River Delta near Inuvik, Northwest Territories, roughly 125 miles north of the Arctic Circle, and lasted 42 days before tapping out due to kidney pain. That placed her fourth out of ten, ahead of six of her competitors and well past the season's early exits. Her contestant page is here.

The full list

Item	What it's for
Sleeping bag	Insulation through cold arctic nights
Paracord	Shelter lashing and camp utility
2-quart pot	Cooking and boiling water
Ferro rod	Fire starting
Snare wire	Passive small-game trapping
Fishing line and hooks	Food from the delta's river system
Bow and arrows	Primary big-game hunting tool
Hatchet	Lighter chopping and kindling prep
Saw	Cutting larger timber for shelter and fuel
Multitool	General repair and small camp tasks

None of Poynter's ten items have a brand or model attached in the show's gear records, unlike winner William Larkham Jr.'s documented loadout. What does stand out is her choice of a hatchet alongside a full saw, a slightly heavier cutting-tool pairing than most of her Season 11 castmates carried, most of whom paired an axe with a saw instead.

A fishing-lodge owner in a fish-rich delta

Poynter's list leans on the same food-strategy redundancy as the rest of the Season 11 cast, bow and arrows, snare wire, and a fishing kit all present, but her background running a lodge on Alaskan waters makes the fishing line and hooks a natural fit for her skill set rather than just a standard-issue item. A hatchet and saw combination, instead of the more common axe and saw pairing seen on lists like Timber Cleghorn's, suggests she prioritized a lighter, more maneuverable chopping tool over raw felling power.

Her 42-day run ended on a medical issue, kidney pain, rather than a food or shelter failure. That puts her in a middle tier of the season's outcomes: well past the four contestants who tapped out inside two weeks, but short of the three who cracked 80 days. Across the wider Alone franchise, medical tap-outs like this are the most common reason contestants leave before the food runs out entirely, more common than voluntary withdrawals or pure starvation.

What the list says about her run

Poynter's kit doesn't show any single weak point. Sleeping bag, pot, ferro rod, and paracord cover the baseline survival needs every contestant carries, while the hatchet, saw, bow, snares, and fishing line stack four separate ways to manage fuel and food in a delta environment she was arguably better prepared for than most. Forty-two days on that foundation is a solid mid-season result, cut short by a body issue no amount of gear planning could have prevented.
