History Channel Alone Gear List Season 9 – Contestants 10 Items History Channel Alone Gear List Season 9 – Contestants 10 Items

Last Updated on 25/07/2022

Alone Gear List Season 9

In this article, we look at the Alone Gear List Season 9 and specifically what each contestant chose to take with them. All of this information has been taken from the History Channel website and organized on a single page for your convenience. Season 9 is being filmed on Inuit land in Nunatsiavut, Labrador in eastern Canada in the Big River area near the community of Makkovik. There are plenty of black bears, fish like trout and salmon, squirrels, grouse, rabbits, and other wildlife that can potentially provide much-needed sustenance. As always, it is impossible to predict who will win but anyone who knows how to accurately shoot a bow has an instant advantage. Other people have the benefit of the strength to build a solid shelter early on so that they can focus solely on food. Other contestants have the benefit of age and wisdom, knowing which can heal you will be a massive key to long-term survival – if you have to call a doctor then you lose and are out of the game. If you are interested in checking out the gear list from Alone Season 3 and season 4 then open these in a new tab for later.

Season 9 of Alone Gear List

Each contestant has a very strict limit on the things they can and can’t take with them. There are things that every contestant is allowed and then every contestant gets to pick 10 items from a limited list of survival resources. The choices you make before you go can have a massive impact on your success and so it’s worth reading through and deciding what you would take and then comparing that to the contestants further down the page.

Jessies 10 items are perhaps the most controversial of all the participants having chosen a machete and saw instead of an axe. She is also the only one to not take any fishing line or hooks and instead took salt. The ten pieces of equipment she chose to take with her are:

He is a smart guy and has also studied things like hunting and shelter building to give him a well-rounded set of skills. So what did he take? A standard list of 9 items with the addition of emergency rations will come in very handy if it lasts long enough before the wildlife becomes more scarce. Here are his 10 picks: Sleeping bag Ax Multitool Ferro rod 2-quart pot Bow and arrows Paracord Trapping wire Fishing line and hooks Emergency rations

Jacques Turcotte

AGE: 23

23 HOMETOWN: Juneau, Alaska

Jacques grew up hunting and fishing which gave him a love of the outdoors.

He is now living out his dreams and gets to test himself on season 9 of Alone on the History Chanel. Jacques is another star of the show that chose not to take any paracord and try and hold onto the emergency rations for as long as possible. Here’s what he took with him: Sleeping bag Ax Knife Multitool Ferro rod Bow and arrows Trapping wire Fishing line and hooks 2-quart pot Emergency rations
