Who Is Cade Cole from Alone Season 10? What Happened

Spoiler note: this covers how Cade Cole's season 10 run ended.

Cade Cole is a conservationist and hunting guide from Crowheart, Wyoming, based in the foothills of the Wind River Mountain Range. He was 28 when he joined Alone season 10, subtitled "Saskatchewan," where ten contestants were dropped along Reindeer Lake in northern Saskatchewan, Canada, competing for the standard $500,000 prize, per our season 10 page.

Cole's run ended in one of the more serious medical situations the show has recorded. On day 23, while out checking on his hunting, he lost consciousness and was found roughly an hour later before conditions turned dangerous overnight. He was medically evacuated as a result, placing sixth. Reporting on his season adds context the data doesn't carry directly: he'd reportedly gone into filming shortly after his wife experienced a miscarriage, on top of losing arrows and the general physical toll of the location, a combination that likely compounded the exhaustion behind the incident. That's a rough set of circumstances to be managing alone in the field, and it's worth reading his placement in that light rather than as a simple skills failure.

What he brought

Cole's gear list is fully recorded, all ten items sourced.

As a hunter and tracker by trade, his kit leans toward a hunting-first strategy: bow and arrows plus snare wire for two separate meat sources, backed by a shovel that's a less common pick than a saw or axe on most lists. The bar of soap is a small comfort item that shows up across a number of seasons; it doesn't affect survival odds much but matters for morale over a long stretch. For more on his core categories, see the snare wire, bow and arrows, and fishing line and hooks pages.

Life after Alone

Cole has continued living in Crowheart, Wyoming, with his wife Danielle and their son. As of mid-2026, he's reportedly working toward opening a horse camp aimed at children with learning disabilities, using nature-based and equine-assisted approaches to build a sense of responsibility and confidence. That plan draws a fairly direct line from his own background as a hunting guide and conservationist into a therapeutic, community-facing project, a common pattern among Alone alumni who stay connected to outdoor work without necessarily building a media career around the show itself.

He's also reportedly stayed connected to the broader survival and hunting community since his season aired, appearing on outdoor-focused podcasts to talk through what happened on Reindeer Lake. That kind of appearance is common for contestants whose exit involved a genuine medical scare, since it gives them a chance to explain the full context in their own words rather than leaving the on-screen moment as the only record.
