You’d never know from the calm, southern tone of the voice pouring from the speakerphone that Alan Kay spent more than 50 days completely alone on an island in the Vancouver wilderness, but he did. As the History Channel’s Season 1 winner of the hit reality show, “Alone,” Alan spent nearly two months alone with only 10 personal items, an emergency kit, and a set of camera equipment to capture his experience. He did this in a place where cougar and bear greatly outnumber people, and as the cast member who stayed longer than any other, he won the $500,000 prize.
