- Season 6 brought the first big game kill on the history of Alone. Some folks thought it was fabulous, some were horrified. I saw a lot of comments and got a few personal messages about it. In this video I talk about my opinion about some of these comments and concerns about this kill, and hunting in general
Ah thanks Woniya! The shot of me saying thank you, and giving a huge hug to the moose didn't make it on there, and the countless times I expressed utmost gratitude....I appreciate your time and your great explanation of the situation - it shows you know what your talking about and your such a good teacher! Nice woven rabbit scarf )))... (I was glad it was a male moose so as not to affect the population in any significant way...)
Jordan Jonas good job buddy I subscribed
You're so welcome Jordan. Just telling it like I see it! I am all too aware of the great many things we experience out there that don't make the cut and all the things the viewers are likely not aware of. I believed that of you for sure and it's good to hear it!
And yeah, that scarf was the best thing ever! haha, i had cranberry juice all over my nose in the footage of me making it! didn't realize it til after i filmed it! glad it wasn't too obvious!
@@BuckskinRevolution hahah... i actually went after i got the moose and took all my (hundred or so) snares down and found a rabbit still alive in one, who i let go...it was a pretty funny moment with it... i thought that might get on the show ))
@@hobojordo catch and release fish season 2 catch and release rabit season 6. You and Nicole were thriving!
People who are being critical of you, aren't hunters. They have no idea how many hours we dedicate to honing our skills especially bow hunting. People who spend that much time in the woods, love the woods, and the creatures in them.
Can we all appreciate how she validated the hunting abilities of her competitor? She NEVER down Jordan for his choices. THIS IS SPORTSMANSHIP!!!! WE ALL NEED TO LEARN SOMETHING FROM HER!!! Thank you so much Woniya!
thanks Laci. I saw us all as participants on an amazing journey of our own. The concept of winning and losing and competition was not where i was coming from out there. Would seem
silly not to acknowledge the skills and knowledge of another on their journey!
@@BuckskinRevolution Thank you for all that you post!
@@lacimoore2618 relax, shes just stating facts.
Grateful for you sharing your wisdom on this. I was so rooting for you to win Season 6, and totally respected your decision to control your exit. Jordan was indeed a skilled and worthy competitor and I was glad to see him make it to the end. I loved seeing you and the other amazing women make it so far in the competition-you are great role models and brought well articulated feminine strength to the forefront. Looking for ways to support you all so you can reap some more rewards from your experience. I do appreciate how much wisdom you seemed to have gained in spite of (or perhaps because of) not having the financial win. Blessings to your incredible spirit!
I'd love to learn something from her.
Woniya, easily the nicest shelter built on the show. And that says a lot. Those double thick walls with insulation were a thing of beauty!
I knew it was gonna be her or Jordan as the victor. She is super smart and really knows her shit. If she could have snared a few more hares she would have won.
Plus that bed
yo her shelter was hella impressive. she easily had the best one that season, no question.
@@Jerlemi2 How would she have won? Jordan still had well over a hundred pounds of meat with lots of fat when he won. The wolverine only got the kidney fat, but there was a ton of fat all over the moose. The producers edited the show to make it look like they were neck and neck.
Nic E. Just going by what the episode showed. Jordan lost a lot of weight and was likely gonna get tapped due to his health being in danger. Yeah I saw later that Jordan actually had caught a ton of fish and the show edited it out, but that was after I wrote that post.
Anyone who has an issue with seeing people kill animals shouldn't be watching the show, period.
Thats because they probably watched a clip online and said their piece from that.
Anyone who has an issue with seeing people kill animals should go and see how their meat is made.
Sheeple are the only ones bitching, cause they dumb😏
Killing an animal for food to prevent starvation, okay. But this is a designed game show that puts people in the middle of nowhere and in a situation they need to kill for food....It's not like they're really in this situation in reality. So, in reality, they don't need to hunt and kill; this is done for show and money.
@@atbhill What a lazy, ignorant comment. I know it is much to critically think before making such a statement about someone else.
I dig this chick. She's so articulate and knowledgeable. She's humble and mindful of so many things around her. I respect her.
Yea, she seems like she’s eager to understand and empathize rather than condemn and criticize. That’s very rare within the context of a competition that has money on the line. It says a lot about her for sure.
I recall hearing Jordan say "I wish I could just go over there and put it out of its misery" which shows Jordan cared about the animal's welfare and was also knowledgeable of what could happen if he approached it (making it suffer more)
exactly
Thank you! Some of these comments had me wondering if they were watching something different. He showed tons of respect and concern for all his kills.
A lot don't realise how insanely dangerous a mortally wounded animal is, their closest approximation may be putting a cat into a carrier box.
Now imagine that 'cat' is 900Lbs of thrashing beast with antlers...
It speaks so highly of you, Woniya, that you take time to defend another participate's decisions and journey. I am greatly appreciating your videos on your backstory while on Alone which significantly enrich my experience. You are an excellent teacher! and a very skilled survivalist! Thank you.
Thanks Ann
i wasn't disturbed at all, what he did was survive. our ancestors did the exact same thing he did. a lot of people don't realize that. the ones that disliked what Jordan did, think milk comes from a container, steak comes from a store. and plants come from a supermarket.
Some of the people on the show were weird, I remember one of the girls was playing with an empty hair skin and then ended up stuffing it as a teddy bear
Plants come from the ground. Lol :)
But yeah. I agree with your comment
They were not girls! (Or were the male contenders boys?). Nothing wierd about entertaining yourself. You may thing your phone and tv just come from the store, but blood and sweat is behind the mining and manufacture of your toys too.
@@devine532 so? people used to do that all the time
"What he survive"? What does that mean?
This video is 4 years old but since I saw it today I just want to say that I’m impressed with Woniya. So much knowledge and wisdom. She is not only a great survivalist but a great person.
Thanks so much Miguel!
I just finished watching this season. I wish there was an episode at the end where you all got together and discussed and reflected on your experiences out there and to see your reactions when Jordan snagged a Moose. And a wolverine! lol
Same! It just ended and i was hoping for a follow up
Was thinking the same thing!!
I would have liked the same thing
YES!!! They are much more interesting then the Real Housewives ;) Needed the reunion episode!
@SpyingDutchman Thank you!
I thought you were cool on the show but even cooler now. Great reasoning at every level and very respectful of the winner. which is totally classy. Respect and props. You did a fantastic job surviving. You are a Very impressive person.
Wow this was beautiful! This is HANDS DOWN the best explanation of hunting! Mad respect for you!
It never occurred to me that people watching Alone (many of these people who should NOT be watching a show like this) would question the moose kill and not worry about any of the other kills simply because the show depicted the moose kill because Jordan filmed it. Hey, people.. what about all the squirrels and rabbits that were snared and were found the next day frozen? Do you REALLY think these animals died instantly from being snared? Come on...
Some people get off on public displays of outrage
As a hunter who turned vegan for 3 years, I will always support hunters because they truly respect the animals they kill. I wish people would understand industrial farming is our biggest problem for pollution and unnatural suffering. Thank you for the video!
I wish more people understood this. Switching to a (mostly) venison and wild-game only diet has been awesome for my Wife and I. It also feels good to limit my carbon footprint
There are 7 billion people on earth.
There are at most maybe 1/4 million Elk or 2-3 million deer in any given state.
Its not possible to feed the world with wild game. Wild game can support the worlds population from 15,000ya. Which is a couple of million people, at most.
"Factory" farming is the only way to provide quality animal based protein for everyone, especially impoverished people. The countries that dis-allow factory farming by law (India), or by being degenerate nations (Africa), all have overwhelming malnutrition of their average population. And those two examples are 1.3B & 1B people.
That's so true my friend. I'm a former hunter. Now, a vegetarian. Factory farming in a spiritual abomination, and he'll on earth for our fellow creatures
Woniya is serious goals. Intelligent, Jack of All Trades, Creative, Wise and BADASS. Seriously, thank you for taking the time to explain and comment, keep up the great work!
thanks Anna!
OMG Woniya is a really smart woman , she is 100% right very logical explanation of the situation i hope she will get invited to Joe Rogan s podcast , Joe love people who are smart and right on point with hunting ! Respect Woniya!!!
Imagine if Woniya and Jordan where on season 2 when they had teams 😂 they would be unstoppable with their combined skills.
The entire time my husband and I watched season 6 we kept saying teams would be amazing!
That was season 4 but I hear you!
@Greg, my bad thanks Greg
I'd love to see an allstar season. If they could pick a contestant from their season to compete with as a team would be even cooler!
I don't know man, people get sick of each other pretty easy.
Woniya you are amazing. I picked you and Jordon as my hopeful winners early on. I think there should be a first second and third winning prize. The sacrifice it too great not to be so.
Sitting here feeling like shit in quarantine and just randomly stumbled across your season. You are so incredibly inspirational to me Woniya. I'm so proud of you for getting as far as you did. Thank you for representing what women can do, and how our approach to things can get us just as far as brute force. Your comments about denying your femininity really resonated with me. I hope you are living a happy life :)
thanks Lauren! It was so important t to me to be a good example for other women! I hope you feel better soon!
Great video! You make many great points. Until you brought it up, I had never thought about the issue of where animals actually feel pain. I'm a CT scan technologist, and we often times assist our radiologists in performing CT guided biopsies. As soon as you mentioned how often times internal organs don't have much sensation, I thought about how when we do lung biopsies, the only part that causes the patient discomfort is the initial needle stick in the skin and external tissue, and then when the biopsy needle pokes through the lining of the lung (the pleura). Once inside the lung, the patient doesn't feel the needle. Other organ biopsies are similar in that usually only the more external tissue needs to be numbed up, while the organs feel little. Yes, what it takes for us to be able to put a bite of meat in our mouths isn't a pretty process, but I do feel that wild game, hunted respectfully, is probably the prettiest way that this can be done. Way too many people these days seem to think that meat is just somehow magically created in some back refrigerator at the local grocery store. I've heard several people complain over the years that they, "can't eat meat off of a bone". I just have to laugh at such out-of-touch thinking, while being disturbed at the same time. I'm pretty sure that these people would be utterly shocked to see that their chicken nugget not only grew on a bone, but that it also came from a chicken that lived its short life in a crowded, filthy, stinking, factory farm building. Or I'd love to see their faces when they see the cow that their hamburger came from, in a feed lot pin, literally almost covered from head to hoof in feces. Yep, meat procurement isn't pretty, but most folks these days are so insulated from where their food comes from that they don't have clue. At any rate, great thoughts! And I'm looking forward to seeing how the remainder of Alone season 6 shakes out!

Thank you Woniya. Nicely explained. Death is never easy. Having been in similar situations several times I absolutely agree Jordan did the right thing by waiting for the moose to die! It must be challenging to listen to so much internet chatter not backed up by experience. Thanks for educateing those who are willing to listen.
Thank you!!! As an ethical hunter, so many people do not take the time to hear us out. Your response is very well said and you being you I am sure is more relatable to people who do not hunt. All of us want a quick clean kill... The joy is not in the kill, but in the harvest. We give thanks.
thanks Jaime!
Woniya! I just finished season 6. You are such a badass! Lol! Loved watching you in the show. What a classy lady you are taking up for Jordan and explaining stuff to everyone. You’re super smart and truly admired watching you so skillfully survive the arctic!
thank april
I thought the way he killed the moose was perfect for his situation. Jordan is obviously an experienced hunter and a really level headed guy, unless you frack with his fat.
You are beautiful and remind me of someone from my past. She would have loved listening to your annanisis and spiritual outlook. Thank you!
I so respected how you did the game, kept your attitude, and lasted as long as you did! Best of luck in the future to you!
You are an absolutely first class person coming to the defense of Jordan. You both absolutely have some mad skills! I told my husband that it would either you or Jordan that would win. Well done both of you! I'm from CA and now live in Virginia (not far from Jordan) so you were my obvious favorites. Again, well done! Bless you both.
I’m from Texas, but these two were my favorites!! As a woman, I kind of wanted to see this amazing woman with so much skill win. I was happy with Jordan winning because he was absolutely deserving.
Woniya, after watching Alone, I thought your answer to Jordan killing the moose would have been extremely different than what you stated. Your explanation of what Jordan did, how wolves kill, and how far removed most people are from harvesting their own meat was the most spot on answer I have ever heard in public. I hunt and have had to try and explain it to non hunters. I will use your example going forward. I wish you all the best as you go forward. Thanks.
thank you Brad. Curious what you would
have though would be different. I made a birch bark moose call first thing and was out there doing my best to call in moose too, but that didn't make the edits. Wish I had had moose in my zone for sure!
Glad to hear you found my synopsis right on target!
Respect! Was rooting for you or Jordan. I’m glad to see you two hit top 2. You guys definitely were the strongest “players” in my opinion on any “Alone” season!
Great explination! I have archery hunted for 40+ years, and I immediately knew that he hit one lung and the liver. Both lungs, the moose would have been dead in a matter of a minute or two. The deep red blood indicates a liver hit, which is very common if the animal is slightly quartering to you.
One lung isn't exactly fatal as both lungs, but a liver shot is fatal. He absolutely did hit one lung, which is indicated by the bubbles.
How Jordan handled the recovery is exactly what I would have done it. A follow-up shot could have ended up with a lost dead moose.
As for those saying the moose suffered? He lived his entire life free, and died much more humane than mauled by a bear, which is natural.
Great show and my hats off to you guys!
So true.
This is incorrect. 1) Blood that leaves the lung once oxygenated will be deeply red. It does not indicate a liver hit. The color is indicative of the organ uptake of oxygen. 2) You have no idea which way the animal quartering you. It is possible he hit the liver but he could have not. One lung shot is fatal because the pool will eventually pool in the lung and you will drown in your own blood, not to mention the blood loss.
I used to be vegan and now I'm keto and this show has reaffirms my thoughts on the situation. Thank you for your grace and humility. Much love, new subscriber!
Love your straight talk filled with KNOWLEDGE to cut through all the ignorance. Facts, facts and facts and very well explained. Thx for making my day!
I’m loving this season of Alone. Jordan killing the moose was incredible. Really enjoyed listening to your conversation about Jordan and the Moose. Cool video 👍
Thank you for explaining this to non-hunters. It’s a far more humane way to go than being eaten alive, bum first by wolves.
I am so encouraged by the fact that men and women like you and Jordan still exist. Thank you for your effort, skill and time.
Nothing worse in the world than someone chowing down a hamburger preaching the evils of hunting animals for food.
Beyond burgers are awesome though. I'm sorry I the peas and rice have to die though.
@@raywhichway1790 they really don’t taste like meat tho
Your explanation just made you one of my favorite people. Thank you for explaining this
so completely. ❤️
WwwwoW! EXTREMELY well said Woniya. Every anti-hunter needs to see this. Actually every hunter needs to see it too. We should all understand this just the way you said it.
Very well put Woniya. One of the best articulations i have ever heard. Thank You! It was easy for me to tell Jordan was an experienced hunter as what he did was textbook. Spooking a downed animal is a recipe for disaster. Death by a well placed arrow is the most peaceful end you can give to a big game animal.
Absolutely the best way to explain hunting vs the standard meats industry I’ll definitely make sure my kids watch this video when they are old enough! Thanks a lot and loved your scarf and the way you gave respect to your food out there! Much love and respect
100% well said. You are awesome. Congratulations to you for being real about reality.
Great commentary! Just watched Season 6, you were by far my favorite! Hope to see more of you. Your well spoken and love your explanations!
Well said, Woniya. Raised hunting and fishing, now, 64 yo, I’ve heard the absurd arguments for and against it. Your’s was fine. We judge, all of us, about everything. Jordan did an adequate job on the moose with the tools he had, mostly his concrete, straight forward mind. You did too. Good on you. Texas
This was a great season of the show and you two were by far my favorite contestants. I would have been so happy to see either of you win. When I knew it was down to you 2, I was happy that one of you would win, but sad that I would have to see one of you "lose". However, Woniya, you're exit was my favorite in the show's history: both joyful and bittersweet. -Powerful and graceful; very "you". - Certainly not a loss of anything other than some money that wasn't yet yours.
This video of you coming to support of one of your "competitors" just reinforces that the way you where portrayed on the show was is in fact reality.
This video should be shown to anyone who doesn't understand winning/losing AND anyone who doesn't understand hunting.
I will look forward to sharing your season of the show and your videos like this one with my daughters when they are old enough.
Thankyou for all you have shared and given.
You were absolutely amazing along with the cast I was cheering you on! You showed such feminine strength and positive attitude! So glad you have a channel
Amazing and thorough analysis/explanation of it all. You are such a good teacher and easy to listen to, most of all for me it sinks in. Thanks !
I wasn't sure what to expect from her regarding Jordans kill. Woniya did a wonderful job explaining the steps necessary to kill such a large animal and its care with limited tools. Great video Woniya.
Very well said and explained! Hopefully everyone who had an issue with this event sees this. Thank you.
Just recently watched all of season 6 and routed for Woniya every episode shes so awesome like Jordan which was a beast of a survivalist kept me entertained on the show they both inspired me. Keep doing what you do I'm a new subscriber and will definitely be keeping up with the new videos :D
Woniya I just wanted to say how much of an inspiration you are to me and so many others. You’re so smart, articulate & mindful. I’m really happy to have found your TH-cam channel 😊✨
Thank so much Elise! I'm glad you've found it too!
Late to the game, but this video is very well thought out and presented. Really appreciate your perspective.
In the past 3-4 years my family has moved to an (almost) exclusively wild game diet. It's incredible how much more healthy the meat is for you, how nutritious it is, and how that "meat sweat"/"sunk in the gut" feeling from high fat domestic meats does not happen with venison.
I also appreciate knowing that our meat comes from the lives of only an animal or two per year, and that the animals I eat had the chance to love a beautiful, wild life. Again thank you!
Just watched your season and you were my absolute favourite. Congratulations for all you achieved. Thanks for explaining all of this. So many points I’d never heard explained before. Thank you for taking the time to educate us.
You're very welcome, and thank you!
Woniya, I am new to the Alone series and have just finished watching season 6. I am not a woodsman, a hunter or an "outdoors-man"as referred to here, more a hiker, mountaineer and rock climber - although at a modest level, but watching this show has given me a new respect for for those "other" outdoors men and women.
I loved your video, every word rings with sincerity and truth, and for me, a non-hunter, it is a revaluation.
I'm glad you are looking so well after your hardships and feel the experience was worthwhile even though you came up just one place out of the prize. You came in second to a great contestant - Jordan,a worthy winner, you both had great attitudes and an indomitable spirits.
thanks Drew, I agree, Jordan is great and I was happy for him
Jordan did a great job on JRE explaining why he didn’t want to sneak up on it and try hitting it again. From over 20 yards his recurve bow begins to loose velocity and the arrow begins to arc ... he was over 50 yards from that moose and did not have a good shot available to him. He also explained that another arrow could spook the moose and cause it to run again, but having already bled out substantially there would be no blood trail to follow and the animal would be lost.
You're incredible and I'm grateful to get to know you from afar. Your journey was literally one of my top 2 experiences on this show and your insight after is a gift. Thank you and keep creating content
I have so much respect for how you've taken the time to explain the pragmatic truth of how this went down. It made me super happy that the competition came down to you two.
I actually appreciated the way you spoke about this. I misjudged this video from the title... Thank you!
As a hunter of game for 30 years and I have harvested many many wild animals...this was spot on and we'll said
great to hear, thank you
You are awesome Woniya!! Just found out you have a youtube channel and you've got some awesome content! You and Jordan were my top 2 faves of season 6, and I was so stoked to see you both do so well
I appreciate your thoughtful response to big game hunting. I am a bow hunter, and often have people express anger when they find out I harvested an animal. I wish I had your tact to be able to respond in such a gracious way!
Woniya you continue to impress the hell out me! You are a true environmentalist and call it honestly. Yourself and Jordan blew the doors off the competition and did it at one with the environment. As a hunter it isn't often i hear someone who has such a well balanced outlook. Wish there were more people like you.
thanks so much Murray, I certainly strive to be all of those things. I actually have a masters degree in Environmental Science, and I just filmed a video about picking up and processing roadkill for the inline skills gatherings I am putting on in June. I like to think i span a pretty broad spectrum with my background and skill set for sure!
I think it comes down to this, anyone who thinks Jordan was in some type of position to minimize the animal's suffering is just so far gone from reality they aren't even worth trying to reason with.
I just finished watching Season 6 and I'd just like to say I was brought to tears by your courage and respect Woniya. You may not have won the show but you're still a winner to me. Much love and respect to you! Good luck on all your future endeavours!
So well said!! All extremely accurate and logical statements!! Our greatest respect for you , Jordan and the rest of the season 6 participants.
Just binge watched the entire season. You were not my favorite contestant, but you have a lot of class and a sincere regard for nature. Thank you for clarifying misunderstandings and misconceptions about Jordan's moose hunt.
Woniya! What a doll you are! Your comments are all right on. You know what you're talking about. I have been teaching survival techniques for 50 years for the military. I am so impressed with your abilities. I was sorry you couldn't win, but Jordan really did deserve to win. I was impressed with his skills and knowledge are well. When I saw him build a ladder the way he did I was amazed. When I saw him wait instead of stalk the moose I recognized his knowledge of big game hunting. I am a hunter and a fisherman I have always respected the game I've killed and admired their beauty. I also have a bit of sadness when doing so, but I make sure that nothing is wasted. That's just to let you know that I know what I'm talking about so you know that there were people watching who recognized that you were good. No, actually better than good, you were fantastic! I am so happy to be able to speak to someone who I was unable to respond to while being separated by TV. It's not often you get to speak to anyone you're watching perform.
If I ever had to be in a survival situation and could choose two people to be with me it would be you and Jordan. Bravo for YOU!
thank you so much
You are absolutely a wonderful human being. I wish you the very best in life. Thank you for being who you are.
as, thank you
Woniya, you’re so wise and have such a beautiful soul. I enjoyed watching your journey and was rooting you on. Your message in the last episode was so on point, expressing the human need for self love. The fact that you mentioned you wanted to take care of yourself on your birthday was so humbling and absolutely amazing. Wishing you so much blessings and good health in life.
thank you so much
Agree with you on Jordan's kill. You did so well on the show. Really impressed with your skills.
Just finished watching the season and you were my favorite with Jordan a close second. One thing that stood out to me about you both, was your constant innovation and creativity. I wondered if that directly affected your ability to stay out there so long, because your minds were busy and always coming up with new projects. I would have loved to have seen more of your crafting. It's telling how much the show focuses on food and killing, when there was clearly a lot of downtime and other things going on.
So loved you on the show and have even more respect for you after watching this! You rock and are a great teacher!
I was more upset by Nikki taking so long to kill that poor squirrel.
Now THAT was pure agony to watch. Having just finished watching the show, I'm honestly shocked by how far I had to scroll down to find any comment on this obvious and common sense juxtaposition. I apparently need to reexamine my judgment of what's obvious and/or common sense...
Woniya! We loved your perspective on the show. Way to break things down on this video. Including your perspective on editing and respecting animals. So much love and respect!
Just finished this season. My wife and I had it down to one of you two winning, early on. Loved your shelter! It looked so damn cozy.
I am so glad I found you today. You explained everything so eloquently. Thank-you for this wonderful insight of what goes on behind the scenes. Thank-you again.
Thank you for sharing and representing the hunter in a responsible and honourable light. Well shared.
Love your perspective Woniya! Rooted for you throughout the show, so happy to have found your channel. You are an inspiration.
Most people don’t know but real hunters probably have more respect for the animals they take more than a non hunter or vegan. Even though it sounds contradictory.
You are one smart lady. I am impressed with you in all ways.
I agree with you 100%. I just rewatched season 6 and enjoyed every episode. You guys all are warriors and besides the entertainment value of the show, it exhibits the endurance and suffering humans (and particularly yourself) can endure. When I retire from the work-a-day rat race I want to spend more time in the woods and you and all the participants of the Alone series are a huge inspiration.
Hi Woniya! I am new to your channel. This is the first video, I have watched, and I really appreciate your candid look at things and your support of Jordan. You had an amazing attitude, on alone, and I was pulling for both you and Jordan. I look forward to watching the rest of your videos! Thanks again!
I have never commented on a TH-cam video before but Woniya you rock! I was truly impressed by your performance on the show and the unreal amount of skillsets you possess. Truly is a shock that (although you didn't mention (at least at length) why you weren't married with kids because you seem like you would not only be great friend but also wife and mom. Hoping they offer (and you go) on another alone competition. P.SW
thank you Nissa, honored to be the your first TH-cam comment!
I don't think anyone could have said this any better. Thank you Woniya.
Season 6 is the first season of Alone we have watched and we were amazed by your knowledge, your wisdom and your soulfulness! We were rooting for you and had hoped to see you take it! However you did in so many ways and we appreciate getting to know you in a significant way. You are a remarkable person!
aw, thanks so much!
Much respect to you and how well you did on the show. You and Jordan are amazing and may the Lord bless you both and keep you well.
You go Girl. Living in the interior of Alaska. Alone, in a cabin without water I’m deeply thankful that you take the time to explain to people who lost a healthy connection with nature, meat processing a long time ago.
I was very impressed to see your skills out there.
... and you are right it’s time that a woman wins it.
For me you are the one who could have don’t it.
I know how cold and dark the winter are in the arctic because I live not far away from it.
You did so well.
Take care.
Two Natal Yods You are kidding, right? Women have the same chance to win that like men. What exactly can men do that women can’t do there?
In fact many women at the show were tougher than their male competitors.
Hysterical crying after 6 weeks and calling out for wifie is not exactly winning material.
I know it's been awhile, but thanks to Netflix, I just finished watching Season Six. My wife and I made a wager with each other about who would win. By the end of the first few episodes, my wife and I were divided between you and Jordan, but we knew it would be one of the two of you to win. Your mental toughness and skill sets really shone through. We both thought so highly of you and have so much respect for who you are.
Our best wishes to you in all your future endeavors!
thank you so much!
Thank you very much for that position. I watched the show with my wife and she was upset by that scene. Thanks to your perspective she's now changed her mind.
You're phenomenally eloquent and sharply intelligent. Just subbed, looking forward to watching more of your videos.
We were routing for you throughout! Matt.
thank you Matt! Very glad it helped your wife understand it as well!
Amen to you for setting a few things straight. The world needs more people like you to step up and tell it like it is.
I really enjoyed you in the show and even more so in this discussion. Thank you for sharing a thoughtful, honest opinion on not only hunting but our general views towards animal consumption.
my pleasure!
100% agreed! Thanks so much for sharing your sentiment on Jordan's bow hunting success and the importance of sustainable and truly humane harvests by subsistence hunters in contrast to the industrialized meat complex! Just found your channel and subbed. Also, just got back from taking my girlfriend on her first rabbit hunt... cooking jackrabbit Cornish-style meat pies now! Finally, it was so awesome seeing someone from my neck of the CA woods do so well out there on Alone!
awesome! way to be creative with your wild game cookery too! I made wild turkey carnitas last week, it was fabulous!
Thanks Woniya for your very thoughtful and informative comments, I learned a lot. You have a nice way of communicating your opinions, without making the viewer defensive or angry. I really enjoyed Season 6. I really thought that location was the most challenging of all the Alone locations. It was nice to see you and Jordan lasting the longest out there. You were my favorites. You both had the right mindsets, skills, and temperament to live in that environment. Btw, I give you the Gold medal for shelter construction, that was an amazing structure, well designed and expertly built. I am happy to have found your channel and look forward to following your content. I hope you are doing well and surviving COVID, which seems to be another survivor challenge we are all experiencing these days.
I just finished watching season 6. You two were my favorite, I was rooting for you, you were freaking amazing! Thank you for this video.
I love your explanations!!! You are such an inspiration and I love your respect for animals. I was rooting you on and was in tears when you left. I hope life becomes easier for you, you made watching this show so enjoyable.
I just finished season 6 today. So much respect for you Woniya!! You’re an amazing survivalist!! 💕
thank you katie!
Hi Woniya, Just wanted to say how impressed my wife and I were with your time on Alone. Wow! It was a pleasure to see how far you went, your skills, and your awesome attitude and game play. Congratulations on a job well done!
I only just saw the final episode last night and was heartbroken you had to leave, but what else could you do? Money can't take the place of thriving health in the long run. So glad you talked about the moose kill. He absolutely did the right thing, and it's always hard to witness the death of a beautiful animal. But as you talked about with the slaughterhouses, that is a far worse death than any skilled hunter could cause. Hunting is the THE most humane way of procuring meat. Far more big game starve to death than are ever taken by hunters. Who would want that suffering?? Wolf kills are gruesome indeed, but it's part of the circle of life. Thank you for this thoughtful and well-spoken video.
You are a Queen! and I was rooting for you and Nikki so hard during Season 6! Thank you for the video!!
Great and level headed discussion on an epic milestone hunt on Alone! Jordan's accomplishment was impressive and I'm glad you're taking the time to discuss it's aspects, and give it proper tribute!
As a female hunter and someone who raises my own meat (in a city no less) your explanation amd point of view is exactly spot on. Your respect and understanding is the epitome of my personal belief and practice. Thank you for eloquently conveying the sacred responsibility, emotional connection, and reality of eating and procuring meat. Bless you
thanks so much Gaby, that’s great to hear!!
Woniya and Jordan were both my favorite top 2 people. I wanted either of them to win and I’m so glad that they both ended up as top 2. Both of them were so humble and grateful with their time in the arctic. None of them expressed arrogance or saying they were going to win. They just kept on going and worked with what they got. This was a great season to watch.
