Episode 6: Hope and fish

Gina reveals how the reality of recording yourself on Alone means surviving with one hand. We ask one of the participants about how their positive mindset is helping them cope in the wilderness and where their resilience comes from. And former Survivor contestant and Alone fan Benjamin Law shares his perspective on the series, and how long he'd last in the wilderness.

Episode 5: Gastro in the wild
There's sunshine, thunderstorms and stonkers as participants make it past the 14 day mark.
