Timber Cleghorn's Alone Season 11 Gear List: All 10 Items

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

Timber Cleghorn went into Alone Season 11 as a survivalist and humanitarian aid worker who wrote a book called "Memoir of a Wildman." He was dropped into the Mackenzie River Delta, roughly 125 miles north of the Arctic Circle near Inuvik, Northwest Territories, one of the coldest and most remote sites the show has used. Of the ten people who started that season, he outlasted all but one. He finished runner-up at 83 days, a single day behind eventual winner William Larkham Jr.. He didn't tap out from injury or illness. The show's own record has him voluntarily withdrawing after saying he'd achieved his personal goals and made peace with not winning. His full contestant page is here.

The full list

Item	What it's for
Sleeping bag	Insulation through nights that ran well below freezing
2-quart pot	Cooking and rendering whatever he brought in, boiling water
Ferro rod	Fire starting
Axe	Shelter building and firewood processing
Saw	Cutting larger timber for shelter and fuel
Multitool	General repair and small camp tasks
Bow and arrows	Primary big-game hunting tool
Paracord	Shelter lashing and general camp utility
Snare wire	Passive small-game trapping
Fishing line and hooks	Backup food source from the delta's river system

None of Cleghorn's ten items have a brand or model recorded in the show's gear records. That's different from a few other Season 11 contestants, including Larkham, whose winning loadout is documented down to specific products like a Helko Werk felling axe and a Pajak down sleeping bag. The gap here is a hole in the public record, not a claim about what he actually carried.

83 days in the Arctic Circle

Cleghorn's list reads as a straightforward cold-weather generalist kit: one insulation layer, two cutting tools, and three separate ways to get food (bow, snare wire, fishing line). Nothing exotic, nothing specialized the way a self-built bow or a homemade gill net would be. What made his run notable wasn't an unusual item, it was how it ended. Season 11 chewed through its cast fast. Peter Albano tapped out at 8 days and Cubby Hoover lasted only 4, both well before the halfway point. Cleghorn kept going for 83, longer than eight of his nine competitors, and stopped on his own terms rather than being forced out by his body.

That distinction matters more than it might seem. Across the franchise's 19 recorded seasons and spin-offs, only 101 of 187 total contestants have any gear list preserved at all, and most tap-outs anywhere in that pool are medical: starvation effects, injury, illness. A voluntary withdrawal from someone still in podium position, with the winner just one day ahead, is the rarer outcome. It suggests Cleghorn's gear did its job well enough for long enough that the limiting factor became his own sense of having proven what he came to prove, not a failure of his kit.

What the list says about surviving deep into a season

Cleghorn's ten items don't show any bet that didn't pay off. The bow and snare wire and fishing line gave him three redundant food paths in a river-rich environment, the axe and saw kept him in firewood and shelter material, and the sleeping bag carried him through the arctic nights. None of it was flashy. All of it worked long enough to put him within a day of winning $500,000. For anyone comparing gear choices across the show's history, Cleghorn's run is a case for boring reliability over specialization: a full 83 days on categories every contestant has access to, no custom bow, no homemade net, just fundamentals executed well.
