Who Is Andreas Lundin from Alone Australia Season 2? What Happened

Spoiler note: this covers where Andreas Lundin placed on Alone Australia season 2.

Andreas Lundin was 42 and living in Sydney, NSW when he competed on Alone Australia season 2, which was filmed in Fiordland on New Zealand's South Island despite the show's Australian branding. His contestant page is at /contestants/aus-season-2/andreas-lundin/.

Who he is

Lundin's day job is personal training, and our data describes him as a subsistence hunter, a combination that lines up with public reporting describing him as catching or hunting roughly 90 percent of his own protein even outside the show. Some coverage also describes him as originally from Sweden before settling in Sydney, though our normalized season data does not record a country of origin field for the Alone Australia seasons, so we are hedging that detail rather than stating it as confirmed. That kind of hands-on food-sourcing habit is a meaningful edge on a season built around a location with real, if inconsistent, game density.

Season 2 carried a prize of AUD 250,000 for whoever lasted longest in Fiordland, a remote, fjord-cut stretch of New Zealand's South Island known for relentless rain and dense, hard-to-forage temperate rainforest rather than open tundra. A subsistence hunter's ability to actually convert local game into calories matters more in terrain like that than it does in more open Arctic locations, where trapping and fishing tend to carry a larger share of a contestant's food budget.

How his run went

Lundin placed 3rd on season 2, lasting 57 days before leaving the competition. Our data records his tap-out reason as having lost 30 percent of his starting body weight and being unwilling to risk his health further. Fifty-seven days is one of the longer runs in the Alone Australia catalog, and a voluntary exit tied to a specific, quantified health threshold (rather than an emotional or circumstantial reason) is a notably clear-eyed way to leave the game.

There is no recorded gear list for Lundin in our data, so we are not speculating about the specific items he carried into Fiordland.

What he has been up to since

As of mid-2026, public reporting describes Lundin continuing to source much of his own food and sharing that on social media, with dishes like a Japanese-style smoked eel and a dill-flavored meat stew reportedly featured on his profiles. He is also reported to be in a long-term relationship with a partner described as an archer, horse rider, and conservationist, together for roughly a decade as of recent coverage. These are the kind of details that come from his own public profiles rather than from the show itself, so we are presenting them as reported rather than independently confirmed.

Why his run stands out

A third-place finish built on a deliberate, health-driven exit rather than being physically forced out is a different kind of story than most tap-outs on this show, which tend to be triggered by injury, starvation symptoms, or a sudden event. Lundin's combination of professional fitness knowledge and a genuine subsistence-hunting habit outside the show gives some insight into how he managed 57 days before making that call.
