Alone Show Season 4 Item Lists

I do apologize for the lateness of this post (or any subsequent posts about season 4), as season 4 of the Alone show has already aired, however, better late than never! Right? Honestly, that must have been the attitude of the History channel too, because they didn’t post their usual lists before each season until the season was almost over. For those of us that have still managed to retain our curiosity, I am going to put together as comprehensive of a post as possible about the gear that the Alone Show season 4 contestants choose to bring with them to Vancouver Island.

For reference, here is the season 4 gear list that was posted on the History Channel’s website. (the link is a .pdf because History actually deletes this info for the next season and I don’t want it to be lost forever) Typically, on previous seasons, there has only been one person so it’s fairly straight forward – 1 person gets to have 10 items on top of the “default” items. Because this season was a team effort, the lists are a little different.

Here are the listed restrictions for the teams:
*Each Team may select 10 items from the following list (5 items per person).
*Participants may only choose up to 2 Food items each.
*Non-Hunting Items are limited to 1 of each item listed per Teammate.
*The Hunting Items are limited to 1 of each item listed per Team.

The difference for this season being that there are still only 10 items they get to choose, but it’s 5 items per person and fixed blade knives and ferro rods are on the default list of gear they get to bring. So it’s kind of like they are getting more than 10 special items if you consider that in previous seasons the knives and ferro rods had to be part of the original ten items. (Please note, I posted a lot of links in this article to the gear so you can check it out but they are NOT affiliate links or anything like that.)

Anywho, let’s start with the items that Jim and Ted chose to bring.

  1. Saw – crosscut teeth
  2. Bow and arrows – recurve bow, 50+ lb. draw – I think it’s a Samick Sage
  3. Gillnet
  4. Tarp – 12′ x 12′
  5. Trapping wire
  6. Fishing line and hooks
  7. Pot – titanium
  8. Multitool – Leatherman
  9. Rations – 2lbs of trail mix (according to Instagram they changed to pemmican at the last minute)
  10. Ax – painted orange, looks like a Fiskars brand.

They have also posted pictures of their gear on their personal social media profiles:

And that’s that! I hope you found this helpful to have all of the lists in one place. My goal is to figure out the fixed blade knife choices that each contestant made at some point. Because these items were in the default list this time, they were not included in the videos above. You get glimpses of them here and there throughout the show, so I’ll try and figure out what they brought when I have a chance. 🙂

  1. I just finished watching Season 4 and I’m a bit confused on the items. They are allowed 10 items not including the items given to them by the show. On this link is a list of items(Prohibited and Allowed). https://www.gearassistant.com/history-channels-alone-gear-list-season-4/
    Items NOT given by the show but had to be chosen that I’ve seen in use by the three remaining teams were knife and headlamps. The Whipples did have 2 white tarps but they also had 2 green and I don’t remember them finding those on the beach so what’s the deal?

  2. you have to make 2000+ sq ft of 1.5″ mesh netting, out of half of the 20×20 tarp, all of the 12×12 tarp and the hammock. Use it as a pair of baited net-weirs and as a seine, with which you move fish towards your weirs. With those easily-gained calories, you can vary your diet by setting traps, peeling cambium, sitting in a baited tree blind with your slingbow

  3. you dont need the ferrorod or the sleeping bag, either. There are many ways to start a fire and you can bed your coals at any time, keeping the fire alive for 8+ hours. You can gather and dry debris enough for sleeping comfort in one day. The first night, dig a trench, heat the ground with firewood, with big rocks all around. Then you carefully remove all fire residues., and sleep in the trench, with many layers of tarp wrapped around you. A day later, you’ll have made enough netting to make a sleeping bag out of debris.

  4. poor choices all. The Cold Steel shovel, with one side modified to have 8″ of real saw edge. A modified Crunch multitool can do far more than any belt knife. Not needing an axe or saw, while still having tools for chopping, whittling, skinning, gutting, making fishhooks out of the tines of the fishing arrowheads, making treblehooks out of those single hooks, being able to make a kuksa with the hook/scoop knife, being able to sew and drill holes with the awl (modify the flatheads, add a spare file blade in place of the phillips screwdriver. Dump the serrated SS knife blade, in favor of a plain carbon steel blade, so that you can sharpen it on a rock. The file blades are for sharpening the saw teeth
