ALONE Season 10 Reunion!

[@senmetwo42]

I found your positivity to be very inspiring. Even when you had nothing left in the tank you put on a silly voice, cracked a couple jokes, and stood tall. What an experience just to watch you overcome every obstacle! Fantastic job!

[@alantenta9825]

Wow, thank you!🙏

[@samuelculper4231]

Love that you hung out with Wyatt. I hope he was monetarily rewarded in some way for his efforts. It really looked like he should have won the competition, but then you came out on top. Probably was the way the show was shot to provide suspense

[@alantenta9825]

It was awesome hanging out with Wyatt!

Day 34 of Wyatt is awe inspiring. The way he narrates it fills a special part of me

[@alantenta9825]

Yes, he brings you there for a moment!

[@artkisses1]

This Wyatt guy was so inspirational, I loved his spiritual narrative in the show, it was mesmerizing to watch. You two are so inspiring, Alone is my favorite show on Netflix season 10. Particularly, was fun and inspiring to watch! I am a teacher, so I was ruling for you on day one, and I cheered for you when you won!!! Thanks for the teaching!

[@Torstein879]

It was good to see that my two favourite contestants made it to be the last two, even better to see they now hang out like old friends.

[@alantenta9825]

I appreciate it!

[@ConstantGardener-q9q]

I just started watching Season 10 and fell in love with all the contestants! What an incredible group of people (now don’t tell me who won! I’m still watching. I just wanted to say how impressed I was with all the characters.

[@alantenta9825]

I’m glad you are enjoying it!😊

[@Epaul_215]

Loved the season. Was rooting for you the whole time. Can’t imagine how that first bite of food was when you left

[@alantenta9825]

Awesome! I appreciate it. Yup, food is something I took for granted.

[@blobmaestro]

Just finished watching season 10, You did a phenomenal job! It's so cool to see everyone reunited.

[@alantenta9825]

Cheers!😁

[@sbwillson]

This makes me so happy! You are all amazing survivalists

[@alantenta9825]

Great to hear! Thanks!

[@ianmc6200]

Kinda bummed to see wyatt holding a bottle of whiskey and a beer 😢

[@MichaelSteeves]

It messes with my brain to think that you all experienced the same thing -- but apart from each other! Everyone talks about how important shared experiences are when they are alone with a camera, but here you have a chance to be with people who understand what you all went through!

[@alantenta9825]

👍

[@lobopropredatorcontrol]

Kinda surprised that the owl experience wasn't one of your favorite memories. Thanks for taking us along

[@alantenta9825]

That experience is in an entire other category. It was definitely my most intense spiritual experience.

Wyatt is the man ❤ You guys are the best.

[@alantenta9825]

He certainly is!

So glad to see all these happy faces ❤

That was an awesome review of all the best times. Very positive, thank you all for sharing. Also that area you all camped at was very beautiful scenery. Don't piss into the wind, Hilarious comment form Wyatt, Too funny.

No Mikey…stayed with the family he missed so dearly…I mean cmon the man made it off basically mice, he’s the true winner to me.

Thanks! Slow and steady….

It what is so nice to see you reunite your alone team. Tenta!

[@sashadoppelt2785]

Alan, I just finished season 10, and I'm so glad you won. I admire your mental fortitude. I am curious if you can tell us anything about what it was like to come back into the world after that, on an emotional and physical level?

[@alantenta9825]

Great question. I was introduced slowly; I had 10 days of re-feeding and talking with small groups of people before going home. It was quite smooth, nothing too shocking. I did notice I was sensitive to noise and large groups of people for a few months.

[@sashadoppelt2785]

I just saw your Q and A and you answered it, thank you!

[@Cldiscover]

Too bad Mikey and Mel couldn’t make it, but glad you guys got together to swap stories.

[@alantenta9825]

It was awesome to see everyone again! Thanks for the comment.

[@samwhite414]

She seemed tough as hell to me. Especially coming back from her disability: I have Spinea Bifida so I know how much life can suck at times

[@alantenta9825]

Thanks for this!

[@owenpufahl476]

How many more days do you think you had in you before you would’ve had to tap? Also, how come they didn’t tell you that you won until day 66 when Wyatt tapped on day 64? Lastly, thanks for a great season to watch and congratulations!

[@alantenta9825]

Great question; a lot of people miss that there was an extra 2 days. The reason is they had had to get my wife up there. She arrived at base camp on day 65, but they waited until day 66 due to weather. I had 2 or 3 pieces of fish left, so at least 2 or 3 more days. After my wife told me I had won, the safety team said my good fishing spot was thick enough to walk on and fish….

[@owenpufahl476]

@@alantenta9825 Thanks for the response I loved watching you in the show. You seemed incredible likable and you we’re very easy to root for.

[@DanMosqueda]

We just finished your season - we watched it on Disney+ - and really enjoyed it! We were thrilled to you win. I do have to say Wyatt was a changed man from the beginning of the season to the end. I’m curious why you didn’t go a little underground with your shelter to protect against the elements a bit better?

[@alantenta9825]

Glad you enjoyed it! No digging at my site. It was mostly moss over solid rock.

[@edwardsmarcom]

Good to see Wyatt with some weight on! Fun!

[@alantenta9825]

Yup! Good times!

[@qqw743]

Hello, Alan. Thank you for this video and for season 10. My question is: As a teacher, do you have any concerns about any of the messaging that survivalism sends? Certainly it brings many inspiring messages, but there are other implications that concern me. I'm not an outdoorsman. I've watch a lot of Alone, including your season, and have a great deal of admiration for the hard work, dedication, and skills involved. I wouldn't last an hour. So in that sense, I have nothing to offer here. But the show is also about the human spirit, and we can all offer an opinion on that subject. And I notice that a good deal of the mentality that some of the contestants report over and again is something like "You have to push yourself, you have to prove yourself, never quit." Which itself seems to me problematic, in that it suggests that one cannot be complete just being still. That a person who isn't fighting for every inch is failing. That we are not worthy unless we catch the next fish, build the next shelter, fight off the next bear. This view is of course prevalent in city life as well. It all seems to me to lead to a permanent sense of dissatisfaction and negative self-judgment, rather than acceptance. For example, on season 10, the amount of despair Mikey seemed to feel for not winning is heartbreaking. And multiple contestants reported the ways that they experienced suboptimal upbringing, and have always tried to live up to someone's judgment of them. There aren't enough fish in the world to catch to make up for that feeling. And is there not also a risk of a glamorization or fetishization of survival itself? For a million years people managed living off the land, or died, because that was necessity. They weren't trying to test themselves. At this point in our history, few people need to attempt to fend for themselves against or within nature. Yes, that can be viewed as an opportunity, to be in nature and learn from it and test oneself. But it can also be viewed as a way of saying "Only in the woods can you be a real person." I don't think that's true. City life has its flaws but so does every experience. So what does someone who is trying to manage in difficult urban life, who watches the show, meant to think? That they ought to sell what few possessions they have and move to the North Pole, or else they are leading a meaningless existence? Much of the narration that the contestants provide is about poverty -- about growing up poor, about still being poor. To my mind, that is a social problem, not a survivalist one. I won't go on a soap box about what we as a society can do better, but I'm not the first to say that we need to take better care of those in need among us. And what I worry that survivalism sends as a message is the idea that if a person is poor, that's their fault, they need to get to work finding berries and snaring hares, because no one is coming to help. But is that what we as a society should be doing -- telling poor people "there's a mouse out there somewhere, go catch it, don't expect a handout?" That doesn't seem right. Food for thought.

[@alantenta9825]

Thank you for the comment; there is a lot to digest there! I focus on the positive aspects of survivalism, but you definitely raised some interesting points!

[@penelopefp]

I agree with some of what you say, in theory. But Alone was their "push myself" moment because of their life experience. I think it is in each of us to look at our experience, rural/urban, rich/poor, educated/not, broken home/not etc, and challenge ourselves to think about how does our experience/environment define our beliefs about ourselves? And then how can we put ourselves in a new/different environment that will challenge us to grow in how we think about ourselves and others? I don't think we have to physically starve to deny ourselves the crutches and comforts we fall back on. Am I able to listen to someone in a way that I hear the emotion of their story (hurt, disappointment, anger, betrayal, pride, joy) without having the exact experience? Can I listen to the story behind the story without thinking about my story that I want to tell? Can I really stop and be in their presence and just listen? And accept the difference of their story but connect emotionally? I think we can connect with each other deeper in humanity when we challenge ourselves, even without going to the extreme of Alone. That's just my thoughts.

[@TheRedishTurtle]

Great Video !

[@alantenta9825]

Thank you so much!😊

[@absolutless]

i wish they did this on the show, the last episode is odd.

[@alantenta9825]

I’m not sure why they stopped.

[@penelopefp]

I could never find the final episode on Roku or Hulu.

[@fowchiiiliedpuppiesdied]

P.S. it’s so beautiful up there.

[@alantenta9825]

It was incredible!

[@ordulf7193]

That looks like a cold drive coming into Idaho. Do you have heated riding gear?

I wish! I was very cold at times….

[@Shanny_island_life]

Will you or Wyatt ever do it again? If you had the chance.

[@alantenta9825]

Yes, we both would!

I heard that the Lolo Pass is a great motorcycle road. Have you ever done it?

[@lobopropredatorcontrol]

@verndog2158 I've road over it a few times. I live not far from highway 12. It's a beauty of a ride with lots of curves.

[@CJAsh-mw5cu]

What was your plan if you had the opportunity to take down a moose? A bear?

[@alantenta9825]

Great question. Moose would have been very difficult until it got cold; I would have stayed up for multiple days smoking the meat. If it was still hot, there is no doubt meat would be lost with only one person processing and smoking. I was hoping for a bear; it is small enough to process and smoke over several days before spoilage.

[@fowchiiiliedpuppiesdied]

A bunch of introvert survivalists get together for a camp out. Well, one extrovert or two…maybe…

[@alantenta9825]

Good times!

[@tdg223]

Where is Mikey?

[@samwhite414]

Anyone willing to take me on the show? lol I’m in a wheelchair so I’m not that great for hunting (unless it’s a clear area) but I’ll fish until I physically pass out lol I’d rather fish than breathe

[@Arthur-nr5ci]

Did Cade attempt to fish even one time?? That was frustrating to watch him passing out going out into the forest again and again trying to just hunt stuff.
