Alone: The Skills Challenge

Three of the strongest Alone participants take on a bushcraft challenge devised by one of their own, to build an Earth Shelter in three days using just a few surprise tools.

Building a wilderness survival shelter is far from simple, but it’s even tougher to make it bone-dry when it rains and smoke-free when a fire is lit. That’s the challenge facing former Alone participants Clay Hayes (Season 8 Winner), Jordan Jonas (Season 6 Winner) and Am s Rodriguez (Season 7). With limited tools and just a few days, will they be up to the task? Only one can take home the win.

Luckily, Callie North (Season 3), Clay Hayes (Season 8) and Am s Rodriguez (Season 7) are all highly-skilled former Alone participants. Can they complete what’s normally a weeks-long build in just 3 days and with limited tools? Survival expert Britt Ahart (Seasons 3 & 5) will judge the results.
