Methodology

  1. Source. Each winner's 10-item list is transcribed from on-screen loadout cards and official contestant materials, then cross-checked against contestant interviews and post-season write-ups.
  2. Normalization. Raw item names are mapped to a controlled vocabulary so equivalent gear counts once per kit. Both the raw and normalized name ship in the CSV so you can re-run the analysis your own way.
  3. Counting. Frequency is a count of winners, not of items — a kit with two knives still counts once for Knife. Purpose shares are computed over every filled slot.
  4. Coverage & limits. 12 of 12 recorded winners have a complete published item list. Seasons without a verified list are excluded from percentages rather than guessed.
  5. Updates. The page and CSV regenerate from the live database, so corrections and new seasons propagate automatically.

Questions about the dataset

Can I republish charts or numbers from the Alone Loadout Index?
Yes. The dataset is published under CC BY 4.0. Use any figure, table, or chart as long as you credit The Wild10 and link back to https://wild10.com/alone/loadout-index.
Where does the Alone loadout data come from?
Every row is transcribed from the 10-item lists shown on screen and in History Channel contestant materials, cross-checked against contestant interviews, then normalized so naming variants (felling ax vs hatchet) count as one item.
How often is the dataset updated?
It regenerates from our live contestant database, so new seasons and corrected item lists appear in the CSV and on this page automatically as soon as they are entered.
What format is the download?
A UTF-8 CSV with one row per item per winner, including series, season, air year, winner, item position, raw item name, normalized item name, and purpose bucket.
