Who Is Andrew Price on Alone Season 13? Background and Gear

Andrew Price is the Welsh representative in the season 13 cast, the "Alone: World Championship" season that gathers contestants from seven countries into the Richardson Mountains, inside the Arctic Circle in Canada's Northwest Territories. He is 51 and from the Gower Peninsula in Wales. His contestant page is at /contestants/us-season-13/andrew-price/.

Who he is

Price is a wilderness skills educator whose foraging knowledge, per our data, traces back to his grandfather. He founded his own bushcraft school after traveling widely and studying indigenous survival techniques abroad, and public reporting on the season 13 cast puts a name and date to that: Price founded Dryad Bushcraft in 2004, following an earlier career in BBC television production, and has spent roughly three decades teaching ancestral skills since. That career switch, from broadcast production to running a survival school, is worth noting because it means Price has spent longer as a working bushcraft instructor than almost anyone else in the season 13 cast.

As the only Welsh contestant in the field, Price is also reported to have drawn a strong following among British survival fans watching a genuinely international cast for the first time in the franchise's history. The Gower Peninsula, his home region, is a coastal stretch of South Wales known for its cliffs and foraging-friendly hedgerows rather than anything resembling Arctic conditions, which makes the jump to the Richardson Mountains a genuine environmental leap for him compared to the terrain he teaches on at home.

His gear

Price's ten items, as recorded on his contestant page, are an ax, a saw, a multitool, paracord, snare wire, fishing line and hooks, a sleeping bag, a cooking pot, a ferro rod, and a bow and arrows. That is the standard fundamentals-first kit this show's more traditionally trained instructors tend to bring: nothing highly specialized, but full coverage across fire, cutting, trapping, fishing, and cold-weather sleep.

What makes his background different

Most Alone contestants come to bushcraft as a personal passion pursued alongside another career. Price's path runs the other way: nearly two decades of running a dedicated survival school as his actual profession, layered on top of skills learned from his grandfather and studied firsthand from indigenous groups during his travels. That depth of teaching experience does not guarantee a strong result on the show (Alone has a long history of experienced instructors being humbled by weather, isolation, or bad luck), but it does mean Price arrives with more formal survival-education credentials than most of the season 13 field.

Making outcome claims

Season 13 is airing during this post's publication window, so we are not stating a placement, a day count, or an outcome for Price here. That information belongs on his contestant page, linked above, once the season concludes and results are verified, not in a profile written while episodes are still airing.
