Alone Season 11 Gear: Every Recorded 10-Item List

Spoiler note: this covers full placements for all ten contestants on season 11.

Season 11 dropped ten contestants into the Mackenzie River Delta, roughly 125 miles north of the Arctic Circle near Inuvik, Northwest Territories, for the show's longest winning run on record. All ten gear lists survive intact here: 10 of 10 recorded.

William Larkham Jr.'s winning list

William Larkham Jr., a 49-year-old commercial fisherman, hunter, and trapper from Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador, outlasted the field for 84 days and was declared the winner as the last remaining participant.

Item	What he picked
Axe	Helko Werk felling axe, 28in handle, 2.5lb head
Ferro rod	Bigfoot Bushcraft
Fishing kit	300 yds line, 25 hooks
Gill net	Homemade
Knife	Killingerblades Big Woody, leather sheath
Paracord	Standard
Cooking pot	Titanium 1900ml with bail handle
Saw	Silky Katanaboy 500 folding saw
Sleeping bag	Pajak Radical 16H, down, minus-100F rated
Snare wire	1lb 20 gauge, 1lb 21 gauge stainless

Larkham's kit is one of the most expensive documented on the show, estimated at over $2,100, and it leaned directly on his day job. Instead of relying primarily on a bow the way most of the field did, he built his list around a homemade gill net and fishing kit, using his commercial fishing background to secure a steady catch in a delta thick with fish. His full list is on his contestant page, and the case for why that choice mattered is on his winner breakdown.

Nearly everyone else brought a bow instead

Larkham was one of only two contestants who skipped a bow. Runner-up Timber Cleghorn (83 days) and third-place Dub Paetz (80 days) both carried the standard bow-and-arrows combination and lasted almost as long, which suggests the delta's fish supply supported more than one winning strategy.

Item	Contestants carrying (of 10)
Sleeping bag	10
Snare wire	10
Saw	10
Cooking pot	10
Paracord	10
Fishing kit	9
Ferro rod	9
Bow and arrows	9
Axe or hatchet	8
Multitool	8
Shovel	3
Gill net	2

Five categories are unanimous across all ten contestants: sleeping bag, snare wire, saw, cooking pot, and paracord. A saw at 10 of 10 is unusually high compared to other seasons, likely a function of the location; building a warm shelter this far north of the Arctic Circle is not optional. The other gill net carrier, Michela Carriere (7th, 18 days), left due to loneliness and isolation rather than any food shortage, so the net itself wasn't the deciding factor in her case.

Where the placements actually split

Below the top three, outcomes track health and mental state more than gear. Sarah Poynter (4th, 42 days) tapped out over kidney pain, Isaiah Tuck (5th, 23 days) over chest pains, and Jake Messinger (6th, 21 days) was medically evacuated for a bowel obstruction, all three running kits close to the season norm. Cubby Hoover, tenth place at just 4 days, left after a deep arrow wound to his own leg, the only injury of that kind recorded on the season.

Across the top three finishers, the pattern that actually explains the outcome isn't the ten items themselves, it's what each contestant already knew how to do with them. The season page has the full cast and location detail, and every other champion's kit is worth stacking against this one.
