Alone Season 13 Gear: Every Recorded 10-Item List

2026-06-20

Spoiler note: this covers the two eliminations confirmed so far this season; no winner has been determined.

Season 13 is the show's first international edition, subtitled "Alone: World Championship." Instead of drawing one country's cast, History recruited ten survivalists from seven countries (Canada, the United States, Australia, Wales, Slovenia, Portugal, and New Zealand) to compete under the standard rules: up to ten items each, same as every prior season. They were dropped in the Richardson Mountains of the Beaufort Delta, Northwest Territories, near Aklavik, roughly 150 km from where season 11 filmed near Inuvik. The prize is a flat $500,000 to whoever outlasts the field, plus the title of first-ever Alone World Champion.

This post is current only through episode 3, which aired July 1, 2026; episode 4 is scheduled for July 8 but had not aired as of this writing. All ten contestants' gear lists are recorded (10 of 10), but that data comes from a single detailed source rather than being cross-confirmed across multiple outlets, so treat the specifics as reported rather than fully verified.

The two eliminations so far

Only two of the ten have left the game. Both cite different failures, one gear-related, one not.

| Contestant | Country | Placement | Days | Why they left | |---|---|---|---| | David Young | United States | 10th | 3 | Tapped out citing homesickness for his wife and two young daughters | | Dave Booth | United States | 9th | 4 | Lost his primary fire on day 1, then dropped and burned his ferro rod in the fire on day 4, despite having just harvested a 40-lb beaver that same day |

Booth's exit is the more instructive one for gear purposes. He had food, a fresh beaver kill on the day he left, but no working way to start a fire in wet conditions once his ferro rod was gone, which is exactly the single-point-of-failure risk that shows up across other seasons too.

The eight still in the game

The remaining eight contestants (Aaron Barnard, Nero Buys, Jacks Genega, Will Longley, Žiga Ogorelec, Clementino Pedrosa, Andrew Price, and Poldi Waldmann-Moloney) are still active as of episode 3, with no placements assigned yet. Their pre-selected gear is on record even though their outcomes aren't, since contestants choose all ten items before the game begins.

What the picks look like across all ten

Because every contestant locks in a list before departure, the frequency table below reflects strategy, not results, and doesn't spoil anything about who's still standing.

Item Contestants carrying (of 10)
Sleeping bag 10
Cooking pot 10
Snare wire 10
Bow and arrows 10
Fishing kit 9
Saw 9
Ferro rod 9
Paracord 9
Multitool 8
Axe or hatchet 8
Knife 3
Gill net 2
Salt 1
Shovel 1
Tarp 1

Four categories are unanimous: sleeping bag, cooking pot, snare wire, and bow and arrows, which lines up closely with what past winners have carried. Only two contestants, Will Longley and Žiga Ogorelec, picked a gill net over relying on line and hooks alone, the same minority choice that has shown up among long-runners in past seasons. Whether that pick pays off this time is still an open question with seven episodes left to air.

Once the season finishes and a champion is confirmed, the season page will carry the full result, and the winners page rounds up every champion's kit to date for comparison. Check where to watch for airdates if you want to follow the remaining episodes as they release.
