Hey friends! Have you ever tuned into the show “Alone”? It’s this wild survival series where ten super tough individuals are dropped off in some pretty intense locations with just ten items and a lot of camera equipment. They’re all alone, trying to survive as long as possible – we’re talking extreme spots like the northern part of Vancouver Island, Patagonia, and even the Arctic!

In the first five seasons, the goal was to hang in there as long as they could, which I think meant up to a year. But Season Six? That’s set in the Arctic, and the challenge is to make it through 100 days starting in September. The things you learn from this show are incredible, and there are plenty of laughs along the way too.

My personal favourite from Season 6 is Woniya Thibeault. She’s just so in tune with her surroundings, taking her time and being super adaptable. She carefully chose her campsite, moved when needed, and then built an amazing shelter. But I won’t give away any spoilers – you should definitely watch it for yourself!

As someone who loves fiber arts, I was totally captivated by Woniya’s creativity. She had this ingenious way of weaving rabbit fur into a scarf, aiming to make it into a blanket. Watching that scarf grow was fascinating, and I bet it was a cozy lifesaver in the Arctic! She didn’t quite get to blanket size, but it was awesome to see her progress.

My curiosity got the best of me, so I looked her up and found her at Buckskin Revolution, where she shares all her cool skills. I even found some bonus footage from her Arctic adventure on YouTube and, yep, I ended up following her on Instagram too – couldn’t resist!

I guess in another world, I’d probably be on some kind of list for all this snooping…

Until next time friends…
