No Camera Crews…No Producers…Only One Mission…Stay Alive!
“Alone” is the new survivalist TV show from HISTORY which pits man against mother nature and wild predators. It all takes place on Northern Vancouver Island, located in British Columbia, Canada and is the largest Pacific island east of New Zealand. It is also home to a wide variety of wolves, black bears and cougars. The show starts with ten men who are placed strategically around the island so that they’ll never bump into each other and they are there for the long haul, one month, three months, six months, however long it takes for the last man to survive.
Unlike most survivalist reality TV shows these days, each man is loaded with only ten items, including weapons and clothing and several cameras that they must take with them at all times. There are no camera crews along for the ride, just each participant on their own, documenting their individual odyssey until there is only one man left. The setting is absolutely extraordinary, cold, remote and full of hungry predators that are not afraid to make their presence known, after all, this is their territory and outsiders are not welcome.
On the first night, one of the men experiences an encounter with two hungry bears that sends him packing, the first to go. All of the men have trouble trying to make fire as the environment is so cold and damp and this only adds to the already treacherous and precarious situations these men are already a part of. Howling wolves, hungry bears and threatening cougars become a part of the beautiful but perilous landscape and it quickly becomes a matter of who will be next to go. “Alone” is brutal and exhausting and I wouldn’t trade places with any of them.
“Alone” premieres Thursday, June 18th on HISTORY
