This season on Alone, participants will face the most punishing environment yet: The Arctic. Scattered around Canada�s Great Slave Lake�the deepest lake in North America�season 6�s survivalists will endure incredibly cold conditions and a whole slew of new dangerous wild life, like a thriving bear population, territorial moose, packs of wolves, muskox and the stealthy porcupine.
No camera crew.
No gimmicks.
Last one standing wins.

It's a great show. Looking forward to this season.

Aint nobody got time for all that.

If it is during the summer months, they won't last two days without mosquito repellent.

I just watched the trailer and apparently they are dropped off in September. I don't see any of them lasting longer than 30 days in that particular environment.

love the show. It's actually a reality show. It cracks me up on mountain men or Swamp people when they act like they are lost forever or boat is broken down and no way to get help or snowmobile is broke so I have to walk seven miles back to the cabin. B.S. theres a freaking camera crew right there with you. You arent stranded dumbazz!

These people are literally on their own. Probably at least a couple hours from help.

I've wanted to apply for this show since it came out..... I wish they offered tiered prize money.. for like 1st, 2nd, 3rd,, and anything after that is nothing. To even make it to 2nd or 3rd takes some great mental fortitude. Not that I have it.. but I think it would be neat to try.

History Channel has turned into mostly garbage reality tv

No fishing rod and reel combo option? No thanks

I watched this last night. At least most of it before I feel asleep.

That old was making fun of "fairy boys" who talk to nature and stuff. Calling them wusses and going on about how they would not last a week. 5 Minutes later he broke his hip walking on some rocks and had to be boated out of there in tears.

What an old thing to do.

I like the show. Never seen it before but it could be good. One dude caught this massive lake trout in a net... was pretty boss of him.

One of the guys earholed a squirrel with a recurve. I was impressed.

I must have fell sleep before that happened. I would never earhole a squirrel though.... that is gross.

For those who haven't watched the first 5 seasons, you should. This is a very interesting show. The first 2 seasons on Vancouver Island in British Columbia are pretty good. I will be interested to see how these folks do in the harshest of winters conditions as there will be little to no food then.
