Season 2 Winner Of History Channel Alone Series
CurrentLeftfield Pictures contacted me after seeing my Colhane YouTube Channel and asked me to apply for season two of the History Channels hit reality show ALONE. After submitting a casting tape they invited me to the boot camp selection in NY, where I did very well. The next week they offered me a position as one of ten contestants on the show. After three seconds of thoughtful and fervent prayer, I accepted!My ALONE adventure:They dropped me on a remote coastline of northern Vancouver Island, British Colombia, cut off from the outside world and the other nine contestants. They allowed us 10 items of equipment to work out our own survival while self-documenting our adventure. It was an incredible experience that was both hard and very rewarding,Finding food in my Cove:Red tide prevented us from eating the mussels and other bivalve shell fish, but after watching and learning I found other ways to maintain my weight and prosper. My diet consisted mainly of Striped Sea Perch, Kelp Greenling, Northern Kelp Crabs, Keyhole Limpets, and Bull Kelp. After an initial weight loss of 25 pounds, I lost an additional 10 before I stabilized and began to gain weight.On day sixty-six, sporting a beard gone “Full Viking”, my daughter Erin arrived in my camp to tell me I was the last man standing…that I had won. I was elated, and relieved, but also humbled knowing the Lord had walked with me there, given me strength to persevere, and cared for my every need.http://www.davemcintyrewilderness.org/
