Jordan Jonas is a wilderness survival expert, outdoor guide, and the winner of Season 6 of the History Channel's Alone. He survived 77 days in the Canadian Arctic, outlasting skilled hunters and military survivalists. Jonas' experience includes living in Siberian villages with fur trappers and Evenki reindeer herders for five years. He learned to fur-trap and survive in harsh conditions and believes that the development of character and love are the most important aspects of life. Because of his dependency on his own experience and skill sets, he only carries gear and equipment that he has proven and trusts—including his Leatherman Pioneer™.


Jordan strives to be someone worthy of the incredible sacrifices those before him made to give him opportunities, and he hopes to do the same for his children.
