<p id=”par-1_29″>Who will survive the Arctic Circle? <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/alone/?swcfpc=1″><em>Alone</em></a><em> </em>Season 11 is putting a new group of survivalists to the test in one of the toughest environments in the show’s history. </p>
<p id=”par-2_72″>In the latest season of the History Channel reality show, 10 people will try to last as long as possible in <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/alone-season-11-location.html/”>Canada’s Mackenzie River Delta</a>, a remote part of the Northwest Territories. The region is inhabited by wolves, grizzlies, and other wildlife. And as winter descends, daylight shrinks and temperatures plunge. In difficult conditions, only the strongest will be able to persevere in their quest to win the show’s life-changing $500,000 prize. </p>
<p id=”par-3_44″>So, who will make it, and who will tap out? Predicting success on <em>Alone </em>is always a challenge. Sudden twists of fate <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/alone-season-11-premiere-recap-welcome-arctic-circle.html/?swcfpc=1″>can fell a strong contestant</a>, while people who at first might not seem as strong as other competitors can show surprising resilience. </p>

’Alone’ Season 11: Meet the Cast </a>
</p>
</div>
<p id=”par-4_33″>One person who has a better idea than most who might go the distance is <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/alone-season-10-finale-recap-spoiler-wins.html/”><em>Alone </em>Season 10 winner Alan Tenta</a>, who spent 66 days in the Reindeer Lake area of Northern Saskatchewan. </p>
<p id=”par-5_35″>In a video shared on his YouTube channel <a href=”https://youtu.be/TEyX1q7yo1g?feature=shared” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Tenta Outdoors</a> before the season 11 premiere, he shared his initial impressions of the <em>Alone </em>Season 11 cast, as well as his prediction for who will win. </p>
<p id=”par-6_39″>“After reading everyone’s bio, it’s clear that season 11 has a lot of people with a lot of hunting and fishing experience,” Tenta said. “Which could lead to some interesting food procurement. Maybe there’ll be a big game kill?” </p>
<p id=”par-7_39″>An <em>Alone </em>contestant hasn’t managed a big game kill since season 7, when Roland Welker took down a bull musk-ox. In <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/alone-season-11-episode-2-survivalist-makes-embarrassing-mistake.html/”>season 11’s second episode</a>, Timber Cleghorn took a shot at a moose, but missed, much to his disappointment. </p>
<p id=”par-8_23″>Tenta admitted he had a few favorites among the current crop of <em>Alone </em>contenders, but he was only going to pick one winner.</p>
<p id=”par-9_15″>“Of course, I need to pick a Canadian,” said Tenta, who is from British Columbia. </p>
<p id=”par-10_35″>“I’m picking William, the 49-year-old from Labrador. The fishing boat captain … Let the old guy show them how it’s done again. Let’s go,” he said. (Tenta was 52 when he filmed his <em>Alone </em>season.) </p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-who-is-william-larkham-jr-from-alone”>Who is William Larkham Jr. from ‘Alone’?</h2>
<p id=”par-11_40″>Larkham grew up fishing and trapping in a small, isolated community in Labrador, learning skills passed down from his Inuit ancestors. He later became a professional fisherman and started sharing his survival skills knowledge on his YouTube channel, <a href=”https://www.youtube.com/@Biglandtrapper” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Bigland Trapper</a>. </p>
<p id=”par-12_20″>But thriving on <em>Alone </em>requires more than just survival skills, Larkham said in an interview with the CBC’s <a href=”https://www.cbc.ca/listen/live-radio/1-31-labrador-morning/clip/16074686-labradorian-william-larkham-jr-featured-reality-show-alone” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Labrador Morning</a>.</p>
<p id=”par-13_29″>“The mental [aspect] is just as important as the physical if you’re out there on the land,” he said. “Over time, we’ll see what happens to the different contestants.” </p>
<p id=”par-14_41″>“A big part of the show is how people cope with being alone,” he added. “Not just surviving for food and the cold … but surviving your own mind. It can be your best friend or your worst enemy out there.” </p>
<p id=”par-15_12″><em>Alone </em>Season 11 airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET on History Channel. </p>
