Who Is Jodi Rose from Alone Season 10? What Happened

Spoiler note: this covers Jodi Rose's run on season 10, including how far she got.

Jodi Rose was 45 and living in Worland, Wyoming when she joined the cast of Alone season 10, and her background reads like a rehearsal for the show itself. She owns Wild River Tables, a furniture business built around epoxy river tables made from beetle-kill pine she and her family harvest during months spent living in Rocky Mountain wilderness. She raises five children on a cattle ranch on the Wind River Indian Reservation, and her bushcraft skills trace back to homesteading parents and grandparents who taught her the trade long before the show existed.

Rose lasted 22 days at Reindeer Lake in northern Saskatchewan before tapping out, placing 7th out of the season's cast. Her stated reason was homesickness, missing her family rather than any equipment failure or medical issue, a common late-stage tap-out reason on a show where the physical grind is only part of what wears contestants down. Three weeks alone is well past the point where most contestants who leave for medical or gear reasons have already gone; a 22-day exit driven purely by missing her family points to someone who had the physical skills to keep going but chose not to.

A fully documented kit

Rose's season 10 gear list is one of the more completely sourced in the show's history, with all ten items marked verified in the site's database:

Item	Brand/model
Saw	Silky Katanaboy 650
Axe	Estwing
Ferro rod	Bayite 6-inch
Snare wire	20 gauge
Bow and arrows	40-lb recurve bow
Sleeping bag	Wiggy's Antarctic mummy, -60°F rated
Paracord	550 paracord
Cooking pot	Solo Stove Pot 1800
Fishing line and hooks	Not specified
Multitool	Leatherman Supertool 300

That -60°F Wiggy's bag is one of the more extreme cold-rated sleeping bags logged anywhere in the show's gear catalog, a choice that fits someone who already spends months at a time living outdoors in Rocky Mountain winters for her furniture business. Pairing a serious cold-weather bag with a 40-lb recurve bow and a full trapping and fishing setup suggests she came in planning for a long stay across multiple food strategies, not betting everything on one method.

What happened after the show

As of mid-2026, Rose continues to run Wild River Tables with her partner Frank, and the couple's five children (Zak, Klayton, Josie, Josh, and Isac, per coverage around the show) remain part of the family's wilderness-based work. The business model itself, spending roughly five months a year in remote mountain terrain sourcing timber, means her post-show life looks a lot like her pre-show life: extended stretches of family-based, off-grid work rather than a career built around the show's visibility. That continuity is part of what made her homesickness-driven tap-out land the way it did on air: she wasn't leaving a wilderness lifestyle to go back to an office job, she was leaving one version of outdoor family life to return to another.

Where she fits in the broader field

Rose's 22-day run and 7th-place finish put her in the middle of the season 10 pack, but her gear list and background make her one of the more thoroughly documented contestants on this site. Her full contestant page has the complete record, and the season 10 page covers how the rest of that Reindeer Lake cast fared.
