Alone Australia Season 2

In the second season of Alone Australia, 10 Australian survivalists are dropped into the wilderness of Te Waipounamu, the South Island of Aotearoa/New Zealand.

They are, once again, testing their skills against the unforgiving elements, and I am, once again, watching from the comfort of my home - cosy, well fed and full of backseat opinions on everything they get up to.

[FYI: Minor spoilers ahead for the first episode of SBS' Alone Australia, season two]

"If you don't respect the environment here, it will slap you hard," says one contestant in the opening teaser that intercuts the rugged beauty of Te Waipounamu with footage of participants bow hunting, fishing and suffering their way through the elements, and ends with a dramatic medical emergency.

And that's the first two minutes of episode one.

As usual in Alone, contestants pack 10 survival items of their choice, along with dozens of kilos of camera equipment to document their experiences. They have a satellite phone for emergency calls and to officially "tap out" when they've had enough.

Aside from regular medical check-ups, they're utterly isolated, with the last person standing taking home a life-changing $250,000 prize.
