Alone Season 13: Alone: World Championship

Ten survivalists representing seven countries touch down along the Richardson Mountains inside Canada's Arctic Circle to launch the first-ever Alone World Championship. Early hours are spent raising shelter, from quick tarp lean-tos to more ambitious cabin builds, while several competitors put early points on the board with small game. Washington state contestant David Young struggles from the start with being away from his wife and two young daughters, and by day three he decides the prize isn't worth missing more of his children's early lives, becoming the season's first tap-out.

• Ten contestants from seven countries (Canada, Australia, Wales/UK, USA, Slovenia, Portugal, New Zealand) begin the first 'Alone: World Championship'

• David Young becomes the season's first tap-out on Day 3, citing how much he missed his wife and two young daughters

As the international cast pushes deeper into the opening days, one competitor gets a shot at bringing down a larger animal while others work to shore up fire and food. Alaska contestant Dave Booth, who had already lost his primary fire-starting method on day one, compounds the setback days later by accidentally burning his backup ferro rod in his own fire. Left without a reliable way to make fire, Booth taps out on day four, the season's second exit in as many episodes.

With eight competitors remaining after a rough opening stretch, the group works to settle into longer-term Arctic routines. One contestant finally connects on a big-game opportunity while another cashes in on a well-placed trapline, both boosting food stores ahead of harsher weather. No one taps out this episode, and the remaining eight regroup as the season heads toward its midpoint.

• One contestant successfully connects on a big-game opportunity
• Another contestant benefits from a well-placed trapline, adding to food stores
• No tap-outs this episode; eight of the original ten contestants remain in the game
