The Alone Season 4 Cast: Where Are They Now

Spoiler note: this post covers who won Alone Season 4.

Season 4, subtitled Lost and Found, was the show's one true team experiment: seven pairs of family members were dropped separately on Vancouver Island in Quatsino Territory and had to trek to a shared camp before surviving together. The $500,000 prize was split between the winning pair, and the format produced a quirk no other season has: if one partner tapped or was pulled before the pair linked up, both were out. Here are all fourteen contestants, by team and order of finish, and where they are now. The Season 4 page has the full story.

Team	Placement	Days
Jim Baird and Ted Baird	1st	75
Pete Brockdorff and Sam Brockdorff	2nd	74
Dave Whipple and Brooke Whipple	3rd	49
Chris Wilkes and Brody Wilkes	4th	14
Shannon Bosdell and Jesse Bosdell	5th	5
Alex Ribar and Logan Ribar	6th	2
Brad Richardson and Josh Richardson	7th	1

The winners: the Baird brothers

Jim Baird and Ted Baird of Toronto reunited on day 10, built a canoe-style boat to fish their lake, and lasted 75 days to become the first Canadians to win Alone. Both have stayed squarely in the adventure world: as of mid-2026 each brother runs his own well-followed YouTube channel, and Jim, a freelance writer and wilderness guide by trade, is reported to have kept up major expeditions across remote Canada along with his Baird Country podcast. Of everyone the show has cast, the Bairds are among the alumni whose post-show life looks most like their on-show life.

Second and third

Pete Brockdorff and son Sam Brockdorff fell one day short at 74, tapping together after Pete, the season's oldest contestant at 61, developed severe acid reflux from prolonged food deprivation. Dave Whipple and Brooke Whipple, the season's only married pair, lasted 49 days before Brooke reached exhaustion and mental fatigue. Brooke came back solo for Season 5 and lasted another 28 days on her own.

The teams the format caught

Chris Wilkes and Brody Wilkes made day 14 before Chris tapped over homesickness and guilt about being away from family, ending the team. The remaining three pairs never even got their reunion. Shannon Bosdell was medically evacuated on day 5 with a lower back injury before reaching brother Jesse Bosdell, who was eliminated without tapping; Jesse returned for Season 5 and lasted 24 days. Alex Ribar tapped on day 2, citing insufficient mental preparation for the isolation, which pulled his son Logan Ribar from the field too. And Brad Richardson, a blacksmith who forges knives and tools by hand, rolled an ankle on day 1, eliminating brother Josh Richardson as the season's first team out. Brad also got a Season 5 redemption run.

The format experiment, in hindsight

Season 4 is the only season where three teams were eliminated without both members ever meeting, which is exactly why the pair format never came back in this form. But the cast fed the franchise for years: Brooke, Jesse, and Brad all returned for Season 5, and the Bairds remain two of the show's most active alumni. The co-win also makes Season 4 the one entry on our winners page with two names next to a single season, a detail that trips up plenty of trivia nights.
