The 10 Items Every Alone Winner Picked, Compared

Spoilers: includes the completed US Season 13 and Australia Season 4 winner records.

Žiga Ogorelec’s Season 13 win adds a distinctive kit to the comparison: a saw and knife, no axe or ferro rod, and both a fishing kit and gill net. He lasted 90 days. Start with his ten items or compare all the recorded winning kits below.

What this comparison counts

There are 19 individual champions across 18 winning results in the seasons covered here, counting Jim and Ted Baird separately. Seventeen have gear recorded in this database. Shay Williamson and Trent Fenton’s gear lists are not yet recorded here and are excluded; missing data does not mean they carried nothing.

Each item category counts once per winner who lists it, using the equipment descriptions in the season records. The Baird team’s shared kit appears in both brothers’ records. These are documented selections, not a measure of how often each tool was used or proof that it caused a win.

Item category	Winners carrying (of 17)	Share
Cooking pot	16	94%
Axe or hatchet	15	88%
Saw	16	94%
Ferro rod	14	82%
Fishing kit	15	88%
Multitool	13	76%
Snare or trapping wire	14	82%
Sleeping bag	12	71%
Bow	11	65%
Paracord	10	59%
Gill net	7	41%

What Season 13 changes

Žiga’s kit adds another recorded winning example of a pot, saw, fishing kit, snare wire, sleeping bag, bow, paracord and gill net. It adds no axe, ferro rod or multitool to those totals. His separately packed knife matters to the knife comparison, too.

The choices connect to different tasks: cutting wood, preparing food, catching fish or game, and keeping camp functional. A high carry rate can show a common solution without establishing that every successful contestant needs that item. A low rate can reflect rules, setting, team format or gaps in the surviving records.
