Three of the strongest Alone participants take on a bushcraft challenge devised by one of their own, to build an Earth Shelter in three days using just a few surprise tools.

Three former Alone participants take on a difficult challenge they’ve never tackled before – build a Bushcraft Bridge in three days using just a few simple tools.

Building a wilderness survival shelter is far from simple, but it’s even tougher to make it bone-dry when it rains and smoke-free when a fire is lit. That’s the challenge facing former Alone participants Clay Hayes (Season 8 Winner), Jordan Jonas (Season 6 Winner) and Am s Rodriguez (Season 7). With limited tools and just a few days, will they be up to the task? Only one can take home the win.

This week’s challengers tackle a complicated build–crafting a working oven from all natural materials, like sand, wood and water. Luckily, Callie North (Season 3), Clay Hayes (Season 8) and Am s Rodriguez (Season 7) are all highly-skilled former Alone participants. Can they complete what’s normally a weeks-long build in just 3 days and with limited tools? Survival expert Britt Ahart (Seasons 3 & 5) will judge the results.

Jordan Jonas (Season 6 winner) challenges three expert builders, Joel van der Loon (Season 7), Callie North (Season 3), and Britt Ahart (Seasons 3 and 5) to build a raft with a shelter.
