“Alone” Season 10 Q and A with Alan

[@Mojames1984]

The baddest man walking this planet is… a soft spoken, mild mannered high school teacher 😃 Congrats!

[@alantenta9825]

Wow, thank you!

[@BlueOrbSociety]

Just like Walter white

[@JoeSmith-me8ej]

Mate, I need "Alan and Wyatt Go Camping" - a show where Alan and Wyatt go camping and fishing and whatever you want... and talk about whatever you like. I would watch that. It was great watching you in S10 - you + survival topics = good tv.

[@alantenta9825]

Planning on it next spring!

[@jeffreyphillips7312]

Images of Bob and Doug McKenzie come to mind. I love it

[@boyceevans917]

I’d watch the heck outta that

[@Ruth152]

Just the thought of you and Wyatt going fishing together makes me happy! Loved watching both of you all season; I’ve had a soft spot for Canadians, our wonderful neighbors to the North, since I was a kid and spent summers on my grandparents’ farm in North Dakota close to the border. Just so fun to hear that story of Wyatt congratulating you. Thanks for the recaps and the q and a, always fascinating!

[@alantenta9825]

My pleasure! Thanks for the great comment!

Here from Netflix. I am so glad you won this season. Congratulations and you deserve it. I was crying like a baby when you and ur wife was reunited. God bless you and your family

[@alantenta9825]

Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!

[@kidstuff44555]

I'd love Alone to release extra footage after the series ends (I want to see the funny or silly things you did to camera). Also, I feel like they deliberately don't show a lot of food procurement from the winner in order to throw the viewers off, so if they did an extra episode every series of just the winner doing things, it would be great

[@alantenta9825]

I like that idea…

[@kathyvettraino2267]

That would be fun to see!

[@KathyTenta]

I agree! that would be so cool.

[@select20]

I was military for 11 years. I was able to go to several "cool guy" schools, and that also afforded me work in some "cool guy" units. One of the things that always baffled me; I always had this fantasy growing up that the best and toughest guys in the military were going to be these gruff and rough dudes and might scare you to death to even look at. What I found was that the vast majority of the time, they were just like Alan. Mild mannered, soft spoken, very unassuming. When I first started watching season 10, my first though of Alan was that he reminded me of so many of the people I had worked with in the past. Grats to you Alan, so happy for you man. Will be following your channel since I very much enjoy the outdoors as well.

[@alantenta9825]

Great comment! Cheers!

[@kelseyharte4839]

Your owl story on the show was so incredibly profound & brought light & love to my heart 💓💓💓

[@alantenta9825]

I lost it when he talked about the owl story

[@yvettenoel8333]

My oldest daughter introduced me to "Alone". I'm in my 80's and was raised on a farm in Alberta with a family of 13. Out of the questions, what struck me the most was the heating of the rocks which my dad would do when we used horses and a sled to get to church or visit family at Christmas time.

[@alantenta9825]

That’s amazing! Thank you for sharing that!

[@loryspencer8215]

Nice gun show, and congrats on your win! Glad to see you and Wyatt have a fishing trip planned, it should be epic!

Ha ha! Yes, looking forward to it!

I was so happy to see you win. You were humourous, humble, genuine, and a total badass. I your kids, wife, and school pupils are very lucky to have you in their life as an inspiration and freind.

[@ryanschmitz9731]

Congrats on your win, Alan. We loved this season. How was the experience of being a television viewer of your own season? Anything from any other participant's experiences that stood out to you, surprised you, or resonated with your own experience out there?

[@alantenta9825]

Watching yourself on TV is definitely odd, but I enjoyed watching each episode with family and friends. I would say seeing how we all struggled with the cold near the end due to our thinner, diminished states.

I was rooting for you and Wyatt. Nice job! Tough dudes representing the over 50 crowd!

Juan Pablo is from Manitoba, so we’ve actually had Canadian winners 3/10 times, which is actually fantastic given that there’s usually only 1 or 2 Canadians a season at most.

[@stevebraun4682]

Juan was amazing too. I was thinking of winners in my answer.

[@stevebraun4682]

Keilyn Marrone is another Canadian.

[@anaiyasgarden]

@@stevebraun4682 there’s been lots of Canadians compete and do well, including someone who I feel is often overlooked, Megan Hanacek from Season 3. But there’s been 3 (technically 4) Canadian winners now that Al has won.

Not gonna lie, when I saw you gagging on the roe on day 1 I thought for sure "this dude literally doesn't have the stomach to last very long." Was pleasantly surprised to be proven wrong and thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the season. Well earned win!

Great comment! Thanks!

[@McSpeedAlaskanAdventures]

Great job!!! The edit for the show made me think you were getting too thin. I thought Wyatt was going to pull it off and then boom…he left and you won. We were on the edge of our seats. We wanted Mikey to win so he could better care for his son. But we knew he was the underdog. Coming from Georgia and not knowing the cold climate. You were so steady and methodical. Just step by step staying positive and working it all out. I like the way it ended. My wife is a school teacher and so we felt very close to you and your adventure. We live in Alaska so we also know the cold and outdoors and a part of what you were facing. I lost my dad in 2003 and we were close. I could feel your pain and respect for him. Great job!!!!!!

[@bigal25938]

Another great video. Would like to know some of the things you were not allowed to do. Were you allowed to put out bait for game, fish guts for marten or bear etc? Were you allowed to attach bait to gill nets to attract fish? Were you allowed to hunt or fish at night with a hand line or bank line? Did you have a device to tell you what time it was or the temperature? How did you keep rain from coming in the open top of your teepee? Thanks. Congratulations again.

[@alantenta9825]

We had to follow the hunting/fishing regulations and we were not allowed to bait bears for the show. We knew what time it was on our camera, so editors knew what day it was; no way of knowing temps. The hole in my TP was quite small compared to the ground space, and just hit a little circle in the middle of the floor; I just ensured nothing was stored there. Even during hard rain, not enough rain came in to impact a fire that was already going.

[@TheDollyce]

Not a question for you, because you answered questions I wouldn't even think to ask. I have a comment of appreciation: I loved your style of fishing! Every time I saw you hook a fish, and saw your reactions ... running running running up that little hill, I thought to myself: "Yes! Run Alan Run!" After the fact, every time I see other contestants bring a fish up on shore close to the waters edge, AND THEN LOSE IT, I think: "Too bad! Shoulda done it Alan's way!" It was unique to you, and I don't think I've seen anyone do it Alan's way in all 10 seasons, and now 7 episodes into S11! Way to go, Alan! You were a pleasure to watch, and listen to!

[@alantenta9825]

🙏My philosophy was the longer they are in the water, the more chance they have of getting off the hook. Run!🏃

[@Timeren2010]

Thanks so much for the awesome follow up and all the excellent questions…it really filled in the gaps of so many things we wonder about while watching the show. Very intrigued with your consistent approach positive thinking, and efficient use of energy while surviving with the bare minimum. The one after question I had was, did you ever reconsider your shelter location? I would have been tempted to move to your 2nd fishing spot,… AKA “calm bay”. But at that point …. Expending the energy wasn’t likely worth it.. it just looked like such a nicer spot. (?). Thanks for doing this…and Congratulations…you most certainly deserved the win!!!

[@alantenta9825]

Thank you! I never really considered it due to the success I was having fishing at my original location; I agree it would have been a good spot as well.

[@anaiyasgarden]

Also! It’s actually amazing to see how much better you already looked at the pizza place when you said that was only about 8 or 9 days later. It’s crazy how the human body can bounce back. The first couple of days you wouldn’t have been eating much; as you said, bone broth, little bits of rice and meat… and yet your body took every mouthful and put it to good use. The difference between extraction day and the pizza place a week and a bit later is astonishing.

Hi Alan! I just want to say thank you as I picked you in our Alone survival draft! SO thank you for winning me and yourself a couple of bucks! As a Saskatchewanian this season was very interesting for me, I knew the cold weather was going to be a shock to some, but I didn't hear you talk about the wind as much as the other contestants. Was your cove/camp area pretty well shielded from the wind?

[@alantenta9825]

Yes, it would be blowing on the beach and at my shelter is was almost nonexistent. I was in a depression surrounded by trees packed closely together.

[@arielhusband9515]

Each contestant returns to base camp for re-feeding and health monitoring; we each have a long recorded interview that the producers have prepared from our footage. We don’t get to see any clips.

Excellent video Alan! This Q&A really gives us insight into the working of the show. If they only did two med checks and then a third when they came to pick you up, how often did they come with new batteries and pick up the SD Cards? When they came for the video, were you allowed to talk to them at all? Again, congratulations on a great job out there! I'm glad you won😁 I'm looking forward to your next video and once you've been back to school, you'll have to let us know how cool it is to see your students for the first time now that they know you won.

Thank you, sir! We always had a massive supply of batteries and SD cards- I don’t recall the amount of days, but a long time. No, everyone was always serious and conversation was practically non existent.

@@alantenta9825 interesting to know. I'm glad that conversation was almost nonexistent. It makes the experience more authentic, but I'm sure after those long days chitchat would have been welcomed 😁

The skin thing is due to the removal of dairy products😯 P.s. I was going for you due to your bird story...I had a similar experience with my father in 2014... I had a waking dream of a massive flock of birds fleeing from a maelstrom that was my father's death. I put up my hand and they flew into me. Not being able to accommodate their weight, a wild starling watching me work, offered to take them from me. I agreed and my grief finally lifted. Respect from Australia. P.s.s. that starling got a good deal, seeing as though it wasn't native.

[@alantenta9825]

Dairy eh? Interesting. Thanks for sharing your bird experience! 😎

Just watched the show…was rooting for you and so happy you won! Congrats 👏 and a well deserved win. I laughed so hard when you talked about Doritos before your wife came. 😂

You are so welcome!

Yes, the recent casting call is for S12. Good luck!

[@cluelessbushcraft]

Can you make a video of how you made your lures and what it looked like? Possibly remaking it now? If you can could you reach out to Wyatt and ask him about his lures and how they looked also?

[@alantenta9825]

Yes! I am planning to do that!

[@cluelessbushcraft]

​@@alantenta9825haha thanks!! I just got to the part where you addressed it 😅😂

Alan you are the man! Congrats on the win. Really enjoyed watching and learning from you. I hope to sit in one of your classes in the future.

I appreciate that!

Just watched this season.. I'm not sure if you are still answering questions but... can you see the boats/helicopters going to see other contestants? Like did you have an idea someone was leaving or where the other contestants were?

[@alantenta9825]

Yes! It drove me nuts near the end wondering what was happening! I could hear the helicopter and often saw boats in the distance. Never had a clue what was going on.
