<p id=”par-2_34″><em>Alone </em>Season 13 premieres June 17 on The History Channel. For the first time in franchise history, the series is bringing together 10 skilled survivalists from around the world for a “world championship” season. </p>
<p id=”par-3_95″>Participants – who hail from the U.S., Canada, Portugal, and other countries – will be dropped inside Canada’s Arctic Circle. They’ll have <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/alone-season-12-gear-list-cast-choose.html/”>just 10 tools</a> to help them survive, along with the camera gear they need to document their experience. As winter descends, the contestants will battle against frigid temperatures, mind-bending isolation, and threatening predators (the trailer teases an encounter with a grizzly bear) as they struggle to survive in the wild. The person who lasts the longest goes home with a life-changing $500,000, as well as the title of the first-ever <em>Alone </em>world champion.</p>
