I will answer the questions with the most likes first, and the person who's question that get the most likes overall I will send a mystery prize. Looking forward to the questions, thanks William,
Hi William! In the last few episodes, we saw Timber and Dub building instruments and games and things to keep busy, they both struggled with the boredom. You on the other hand, always seemed cozy in your shelter, and didn't seem to have the same struggles. What did you do in there?! How'd you entertain yourself when there was only four hours of daylight?
Did you come up with the snare on a stick yourself over the years? or is that knowledge you had passed on from elders? All your other techniques look like good old fashion bushcraft, done perfectly and on a very high level; but that snare on a stick is just something I've never seen before.... and it looked super-effective in your hands! Good job this season and congradulations. A well earned victory.
Congratulations William!! You made Newfoundland and Labrador so proud!! I’m dyin to know how many days you think you could have made it, and how much food you had stored in your ice box at the end?
Three questions: Do you feel the show/editing team represented who you are in “real life”? Looking back, are you still happy with your chosen 10 items or would you have chosen something different? If you had to do it all over again, what would you do differently?
Hey William! My question to you is did you enjoy it? Without thinking about winning, In the moment, was it something you would look back fondly on? How close in your mind were you to tapping out? You certainly looked pretty comfortable out there. Me and my family have been watching you for the past few weeks. You looked very strong out there and are a huge inspiration to me as a young man. Congratulations man. You deserve it.
Hi William! During the show, you showed a beyond remarkable amount of resilience and mental fortitude. No matter what happened, you always seemed to remain calm and unaffected. What advice do you have for those of us who struggle to stay positive and calm in the face of adversity?
As a question: are there any items that you wished you'd brought along, and what would have you been happy to leave behind for that item? Congrats too!
Congratulations William, a well deserved win! Challenges with Sassy and other animals stealing your food was a major theme for you one the show, was it presented accurately or played up a bit for dramatic and comedic effect? How much food did you loose vs what you ate?
Several of the other contestants had to go home, and lost, simply because they were unable to have a bowel movement while they were there, was there anything special that you did, or foraged, to help that along. Why do you think they weren’t able to go? Just lack of food or fat perhaps? Perhaps not drinking enough water?
Maybe a bit repetitive, but how does one become so calm, stoic even like we've been able to see in the show? Any tips how to start on that? Thank you and congratulations, was really fun, entertaining and mostly interesting to see you and your performance on the show, your grouse hunting technique is CRAZY. Matt
Everyone seems to be rooting for Sassy on the interwebs. Did you think maybe to share some of your catch with him at some point? In honour and recognition of your frenemy relationship?
So happy and proud of you! As a fellow Canadian, you made us all proud! My question is: how shocked were you when your wife came up behind you? I thought you were going to have a heart attack or stroke, at least I would :)
My question is would you come to Port Hope Simpson during the winter and we would host a community boil up and have a fireside chat! It will be a large Boil Up lol
How do you deal with the fear of being alone in an area full of Bear and wolfs without having your rifle? I know myself I would be so jumpy after a while with only my own mind to create fear I would lose my mind. There's no shelter strong enough to stop a determined grizzly, Sleep would be a problem. Do the noise makers and bear spray prop up the confidence enough to continue?
Question from Lucas Smith, Age 10- Did you try to gain weight before the show, knowing it would be a tough and not knowing how much food you would be able to get? Congratulations William! I enjoyed watching you all summer and thanks for the shout out
Hey William, Gloria victori! can't wait to see the "champion of champions" series... Can you elaborate on how you trained your mind to stay positive and focused on the tasks ahead to achieve your goals? How has being a fisherman influenced that? Cheers
Congrats Mr. Labrador!! My mother is an Inuit from Happy Valley Goose Bay, and we were cheering you on all the way!! You always had the brightest demeanor despite Ole Sassy there snooping around all the time! Good show, by🎉
I only just found this yt channel. Congrats on your win Will. I am glad a fellow Newfi won. I look forward to watching your yt videos. Enjoy the outdoors
What were your boots William. Do you think it is as you live with seals you never complained about your feet until the end? I am proud of you but feared for you. Looked a heart attack there at the end with wife snuck up on you. From Old Tossdart. Les, P.S. You earned one piece only of chocolate cake. 😂
Hi William! We have been watching your videos for a long time. When we saw that you were going to be on Alone, we subscribed to HGTV just so we could watch you. You, my friend, have not disappointed. You are the ultimate Arctic survivor! Way to go! We are so proud that a Newfoundland and Labradorian won this competition......not that we had ANY doubt from day 1. You have made us proud! If ever you and/or your family are in Brigus, you will always have a place to visit.....and YOU will be making the dough boys!
What other foods had you been eating up to this point that they haven't shown? Isaiah mentioned having a lot of Labrador tea. I assume there's a lot of other stuff too?
Do you wish you had brought a bow with arrows instead of another item and if yes, which item would you have sacrificed. This season of Alone is more dramatic for me than other seasons because of your participation!! Wishing the best for you on the high seas comm fishing and 💯 percent understand why you can’t do weekly commentary vids!!
We all know that go pro batteries are nortious for going dead in the cold . Do they resupply you guys or make contact when the cameras are off ? Thanks
Whaddayat? 😉 Congratulations!!!! Well done sir… well done! Not only should you be proud but I know all of Labrador is proud!! We need more men in this world like William … Dub & Timber!!!! PS… my dad & brother are both William’s … my dad used to say “I was Wild Bill then and I’m Sweet William now!! He was my hero and the measure of all men … for me 😉. PSS… your wife Jillian is beautiful and it was such a joy seeing her sneak up on you!! lol her ensemble from the hat to the coat to the wonderful mittens were almost as beautiful as her smile that day!! Congratulations to you and yours 🩵🩵🩵
I love all the local food you show. Both cooking and eating, wish I was there to try it all. I grew up eating a lot off the land. But in central Illinois it was deer, ducks, pheasant, squirrels, quail, crawfish, turtles and all kinds of fish. You eat many different things that look delicious. My question is what do you think is the strangest local food you have ever tried?? And thank you for taking the time to make these videos and sharing them with the rest of us. 😎
Hey William, long time subscriber. Really enjoying this season of Alone with you in it. My question is Did you find that having this UA-cam channel helped with the video taping for the show with what they gave you and did you learn any techniques from the production crew that you will use moving forward with your channel? All the best!
If my question is picked, please don't send me any prize. Your content is enough for me, you're welcome to donate a couple cans to your local food bank if you want :)
William! You made season 11 the top one. I watched every season and this one was the best!!! I believed you will win since the episode you whacked those smelt with a branch. Well done!!
Proud of you William. Been watching you for years and years and so glad you had the chance to take part in this! 👍 Hope all is well up there in the big land! How was it being on a televised program? Seems stressful!
I thought I heard another contestant say that snaring grouse was not allowed. Did your method not count as snaring them? Did you have to clear your technique with the production team?
Hi William, just got back from 2 weeks up to St Lewis there. We had a great trip up to see the wife's family. We have a tradition every time we're up to go on a Red Roof shopping spree amd this trip was no exception. We got lots of Big Land gear to bring home to Nova Scotia for sure. We also got to spend a night in Cape Charles which was really special man. I know you didn't take a bow and I understand why but I haven't seen that you took a multi tool either. My question is, did you take a multi tool and if not why? Thanks Bill. We're cheering for you from NS man!
One other question. Do you remember back when we started with the you tubes I challenged you to make a birch bow & arrows & harvest a moose with it? That should key your memory of me I hopes. There it is, now you have something else to do. I have dropped by your channel a bit over the years but pretty much left social media & bushcraft years ago. Omg are those finbacks whales.
I loved seeing how much you seemed to be loving it out there, and that you were already talking about coming back for another season before you'd even helicoptered out! Now that you've been home a while, would you still come back and do it again? And did you all end up moving to the small village? Congratulations!
Did you find the landscape you filmed the show similar to where you film your YT videos? I don't need a prize, fella. This free content is enough for me. Thanks as always, keep on keeping on!
QQQ: Unlike the others didn’t have a fire in your shelter and you looked like you had a lighter jacket and work gloves. The others were cold and you seemed comfortable. Was it because you were acclimatized to the cold, or was your location warmer? It sounded like your sleeping bag was warmer. Do you think that your shelter was also better insulated and warmer?
my way, you'll have 9" of wet/frozen debris on the outside of your sleeping tent. Between that frozen debris and the tent itself is 6" of dry debris. The producer's tarp is folded in half, stuffed with 6" of dry debris, folded in half again and its edges are tied. This makes it a sleeping bag, set up on the raised pole bed. There's no reason to remove any of your 8 layers of clothing, or the 1/4" thick layers of dry grass/moss between each of the clothing layers. So you're inside of those clothing and debris layers, on the raised bed, inside of the reflective tyvek bivy, inside of the debris-ibag, inside of the debris stuffed tent inside of 6" more dry debris and 9" of frozen debris. Since you wont see freezing temps, even at night, for a month, nor temps below freezing in the afternoons for another month and wont see 20F or below for more than 2-3 weeks, why would you even think you'd need a hear source inside of your tent, or a sleeping bag? As an insurance policy, have 4 head-sized rocks and a row of 4 pits under your raised bed. In half an hour, a pair of Siberian fire lays will heat those rocks plenty hot enough in half an hour. Snuff the flames with ashes, and dry, loose earth. Bury some coals and charcol in the ashes, keeping the fire "alive' for 12 + hours. Move the hot rocks into the pits. Surround each stone with a 2" thick layer of dry wood ashes. The ashes will drastically slow down the heat loas from the stones, giving you at least 20F degrees of warmth for at least 5 hours. remove the ashes as needed for more heat. remove clothing layers as needed if it's too hot.
I think you should go around to the schools up here on the south coast and the rest of Labrador too. Bring your 10 items and anything else you brought back and have a question and answer with them. You have so many who look up to you now. What you think of that idea?
the tent only needs to be 8 ft ong, 3x3 at the foot end, and 4 ft tall and 3.5 ft wide at the hed end. the pole bed needs to be 10" high, 30" across and 5 ft long. Add a ft longer "extension of the bed, for sleeing. Then when you need to use the chamber pot, just updend the bed extension onto the main part of the bed, turn sideways and use the chamber pot.
make about a 1.5 gallon basket. Stuff it half full of loose, dry diirt and use it as a chamber pot, Then you wont have to go out into the cold rain and wind, put on and then take off your clothing, etc What a pita when you can just kneel or crouch over a small basket. Wen you DO have to emerge from the sleeping tent, go empty the chamber pot into the latrine-trench, replace the dirt in the pot and return it to the tend Cover the wastes with dirt and not have a stinking, mass of a camp that will, sooner or later, result in crap being tracked into your shelter. and probably make you sick. all it takes is some crud gets on your hand, rubbed on your eye ,or into your nose or ear, drop a particle of it onto your food or into your water and pesto, you have debilitating case of dysentery for a couple of weeks, making them medically pull you off of the challenge, duh
you'll have 70 sq ft of the tent left after you make the 8 ft long, 3.5 ft triangular cross section sleeping tent. That's plenty of material for making the liner for the water basket, the little stone-boilng pit (for cooking the tarp and tape pants, the tarp and tape, air tight containers for tinder and food storage.
Thank you for making this season AMAZING! I was wondering if you were able to try Timber’s moose jerky and if you did, how did it compare with yours (made in a 2023 video)?
you can flat do without the axe, cookpot and ferrrod. No other part of gear is needed to replace them. (directly) stuff that has other roles can do that. You dont want the saw, either, just the 8" of saw teeth on the modified Cold Steel shovel. That frees-up 3 gear choices, just like that, That lets you take the 3 lb block of sea salt, the rations of pemmican and gorp. Those items, mixed with cambium and used wisely, keep you going full-bore for 9-10 days, and by then, you're netting will be catching plenty of fish, birds, rabbits.
Did the ice chest work properly? Did Sassy or anything else break into it? Did you build a second or third one? To decrease the chances of losing all of your food cache? Since leaving what would you do differently regarding your food storage both in the ice and without the ice? Nb. Bloody well done mate!
your sleeping tent needs to be little bigger than a coffin, Because it's reflective, sealed and insulated, there's no need of a heat-source inside of it, even at 0F, which you'll never see cause you'll never see the first of December. Make a separate, work pavilion out of the Producer's tarp.. YOu can have the one way projected heat of a Siberian fire lay out in front of the pavilion, on days that rain makes it necessary to have the pavilion (and also be outside of the sleeping-tent). The tarp and tape tent only requires half of the reflective 12x12 tarp to make.
William, are you trying to feed all of nature, or just the animals around your shelter? Just teasing, you're doing great, so fun to watch. I like you're attitude.
How did you stay warm all night with no fire in your tilt? I noticed both Dub and Timber struggled to keep their feet warm. Did you feel any ill effects from the cold at all? Are you part polar bear? 😂
I will answer the questions with the most likes first, and the person who's question that get the most likes overall I will send a mystery prize. Looking forward to the questions, thanks William,
Hi William! In the last few episodes, we saw Timber and Dub building instruments and games and things to keep busy, they both struggled with the boredom. You on the other hand, always seemed cozy in your shelter, and didn't seem to have the same struggles. What did you do in there?! How'd you entertain yourself when there was only four hours of daylight?
What were the similarities and differences between the land you were dropped off at, and the Bigland where you live, work, and play?
Did you come up with the snare on a stick yourself over the years? or is that knowledge you had passed on from elders?
All your other techniques look like good old fashion bushcraft, done perfectly and on a very high level; but that snare on a stick is just something I've never seen before.... and it looked super-effective in your hands!
Good job this season and congradulations. A well earned victory.
Congratulations William!! You made Newfoundland and Labrador so proud!! I’m dyin to know how many days you think you could have made it, and how much food you had stored in your ice box at the end?
Three questions:
Do you feel the show/editing team represented who you are in “real life”?
Looking back, are you still happy with your chosen 10 items or would you have chosen something different?
If you had to do it all over again, what would you do differently?
What are some things the show didnt air that you wish they had or that you were proud of? Do you feel the edit misrepresented your time there at all?
Can you tell us the skills you used from Inuit culture that helped you win ?
Hey William! My question to you is did you enjoy it? Without thinking about winning, In the moment, was it something you would look back fondly on?
How close in your mind were you to tapping out? You certainly looked pretty comfortable out there.
Me and my family have been watching you for the past few weeks. You looked very strong out there and are a huge inspiration to me as a young man. Congratulations man. You deserve it.
Hi William! During the show, you showed a beyond remarkable amount of resilience and mental fortitude. No matter what happened, you always seemed to remain calm and unaffected. What advice do you have for those of us who struggle to stay positive and calm in the face of adversity?
Congrats ! Loved your positive attitude during the whole time ! What is the recovery process like when you get back home. Food ,sleep, medicine ?
As a question: are there any items that you wished you'd brought along, and what would have you been happy to leave behind for that item?
Congrats too!
Congratulations William, a well deserved win! Challenges with Sassy and other animals stealing your food was a major theme for you one the show, was it presented accurately or played up a bit for dramatic and comedic effect? How much food did you loose vs what you ate?
What was the first thing you wanted to eat when you got home?
Let’s hear what you ate William?? Congratulations you did well.
Chocolate cake & dream whip?
@@redpill61what even is dream whip?
Several of the other contestants had to go home, and lost, simply because they were unable to have a bowel movement while they were there, was there anything special that you did, or foraged, to help that along. Why do you think they weren’t able to go? Just lack of food or fat perhaps? Perhaps not drinking enough water?
I don’t recall William eating fiber. That can help, along with eating fat.
What is the source of your positive outlook? Where is the deep source of your sense of peace?
Maybe a bit repetitive, but how does one become so calm, stoic even like we've been able to see in the show? Any tips how to start on that? Thank you and congratulations, was really fun, entertaining and mostly interesting to see you and your performance on the show, your grouse hunting technique is CRAZY.
Matt
Everyone seems to be rooting for Sassy on the interwebs. Did you think maybe to share some of your catch with him at some point? In honour and recognition of your frenemy relationship?
What was your most difficult challenge during you stay there?
Congratulations Will, you did us proud. I knew you would win.
Thanks Will.
Loved watching you on alone Billy! Been rooting for you this whole time! You’re making Labrador proud I know that much!!!
So happy and proud of you! As a fellow Canadian, you made us all proud! My question is: how shocked were you when your wife came up behind you? I thought you were going to have a heart attack or stroke, at least I would :)
How did it feel winning the show? Absolutely awesome! Woo hoo!!
My question is would you come to Port Hope Simpson during the winter and we would host a community boil up and have a fireside chat! It will be a large Boil Up lol
This👆 I'm in the Yukon, but I'd enjoy watching a vlog of a boil up & chat with their locals.
@@KaumanikAdventureTours Its always a possibility.

Yes… this question! 👍

What was your recovery like when you got back?
Everyone is struggling to survive and pouring their hearts into filming. William was on vacation.
Congrats Mr. Labrador!! My mother is an Inuit from Happy Valley Goose Bay, and we were cheering you on all the way!! You always had the brightest demeanor despite Ole Sassy there snooping around all the time! Good show, by🎉

I am glad a fellow Newfi won.
I look forward to watching your yt videos.

Will you have access to unedited video that you recorded? That would be awesome content for future videos you upload!!
What were your boots William. Do you think it is as you live with seals you never complained about your feet until the end? I am proud of you but feared for you. Looked a heart attack there at the end with wife snuck up on you. From Old Tossdart. Les, P.S. You earned one piece only of chocolate cake. 😂
Love the Nova Scotia Flag on your ceiling!! Congrats on the win Will. As a fellow maritimer I was so amped!!! Enjoy!!!

I love all the local food you show. Both cooking and eating, wish I was there to try it all. I grew up eating a lot off the land. But in central Illinois it was deer, ducks, pheasant, squirrels, quail, crawfish, turtles and all kinds of fish. You eat many different things that look delicious. My question is what do you think is the strangest local food you have ever tried?? And thank you for taking the time to make these videos and sharing them with the rest of us. 😎
Do you guys and women get license issued to you for the animals that you harvest or is it you no license required. it's a awesome series. take care
Great to hear you, my friend! I cant wait to catch all of your episode reaction videos!
What was the scariest thing you encountered?
Hey William, long time subscriber. Really enjoying this season of Alone with you in it. My question is Did you find that having this UA-cam channel helped with the video taping for the show with what they gave you and did you learn any techniques from the production crew that you will use moving forward with your channel?
All the best!

Would you do this again or do similar shows if asked to.
Congratulations William Great job winning alone.
It great to see people who love there family.❤
So happy you won. You have amazing skills. Congrats.
William! You made season 11 the top one. I watched every season and this one was the best!!! I believed you will win since the episode you whacked those smelt with a branch.
Well done!!
William ,while you were on Alone why did you store your food so far from your camp site?
Who and what did you miss the most ! Love Alone and also your videos 👊🏻
Congratulations William,knew you were gonna take the challenge and win.good for you!
Proud of you William. Been watching you for years and years and so glad you had the chance to take part in this! 👍 Hope all is well up there in the big land! How was it being on a televised program? Seems stressful!
Listening to polka/newfoundland music this sunday morning. you'll have to show us how to catch a grouse sometime with that stick. amazing :)
found the grouse/root link on your facebook page, pretty awesome man. :)
I thought I heard another contestant say that snaring grouse was not allowed. Did your method not count as snaring them? Did you have to clear your technique with the production team?
Life can get in the way no need to apologise
Hi William, just got back from 2 weeks up to St Lewis there. We had a great trip up to see the wife's family.

All The Best from Las Vegas Nevada USA the SIN land
QQQ: Unlike the others didn’t have a fire in your shelter and you looked like you had a lighter jacket and work gloves. The others were cold and you seemed comfortable. Was it because you were acclimatized to the cold, or was your location warmer? It sounded like your sleeping bag was warmer. Do you think that your shelter was also better insulated and warmer?
Congratulations. We were rooting you on from PEI. My favorite season yet !!
Hi William - what kind of jacket did you wear? You didn’t seem so bundled up yet were able to handle the coldest days.
When you got to meet all of the other contestants. Who did you think were some of your biggest competition?
Congratulations William! Great Job! Excited to see an announcement video!🎉🎉🎉
my way, you'll have 9" of wet/frozen debris on the outside of your sleeping tent. Between that frozen debris and the tent itself is 6" of dry debris.

How is your health? Do you feel recovered or are there any lingering ill effects?
What was the first food that you ate after leaving the campsite? Did you have to ease into a higher calorie diet?
Do you ever get angry?? I have watched for years and I do not recall you ever getting peeved.
Sassy is very a very determined pine martini wanting to share your food stash
Congratulations William. I knew you were going to take it as soon as the show started!
I think you should go around to the schools up here on the south coast and the rest of Labrador too. Bring your 10 items and anything else you brought back and have a question and answer with them. You have so many who look up to you now. What you think of that idea?
Do you miss Sassy and do you consider her a companion out there? Congratulations on the big win!
the tent only needs to be 8 ft ong, 3x3 at the foot end, and 4 ft tall and 3.5 ft wide at the hed end. the pole bed needs to be 10" high, 30" across and 5 ft long. Add a ft longer "extension of the bed, for sleeing. Then when you need to use the chamber pot, just updend the bed extension onto the main part of the bed, turn sideways and use the chamber pot.
make about a 1.5 gallon basket. Stuff it half full of loose, dry diirt and use it as a chamber pot, Then you wont have to go out into the cold rain and wind, put on and then take off your clothing, etc What a pita when you can just kneel or crouch over a small basket. Wen you DO have to emerge from the sleeping tent, go empty the chamber pot into the latrine-trench, replace the dirt in the pot and return it to the tend Cover the wastes with dirt and not have a stinking, mass of a camp that will, sooner or later, result in crap being tracked into your shelter. and probably make you sick. all it takes is some crud gets on your hand, rubbed on your eye ,or into your nose or ear, drop a particle of it onto your food or into your water and pesto, you have debilitating case of dysentery for a couple of weeks, making them medically pull you off of the challenge, duh
you'll have 70 sq ft of the tent left after you make the 8 ft long, 3.5 ft triangular cross section sleeping tent. That's plenty of material for making the liner for the water basket, the little stone-boilng pit (for cooking the tarp and tape pants, the tarp and tape, air tight containers for tinder and food storage.
William, question: do you ever get angry? What makes you lose it?
Loved loved loved watching your journey and took a lot from it. Thanks
Thank you for making this season AMAZING! I was wondering if you were able to try Timber’s moose jerky and if you did, how did it compare with yours (made in a 2023 video)?
Great job! I as hoping you would win. Always positive
Congrats on the well deserved victory
you can flat do without the axe, cookpot and ferrrod. No other part of gear is needed to replace them. (directly) stuff that has other roles can do that. You dont want the saw, either, just the 8" of saw teeth on the modified Cold Steel shovel. That frees-up 3 gear choices, just like that, That lets you take the 3 lb block of sea salt, the rations of pemmican and gorp. Those items, mixed with cambium and used wisely, keep you going full-bore for 9-10 days, and by then, you're netting will be catching plenty of fish, birds, rabbits.
Did the ice chest work properly?
Did Sassy or anything else break into it?
Did you build a second or third one? To decrease the chances of losing all of your food cache?
Since leaving what would you do differently regarding your food storage both in the ice and without the ice?
Nb. Bloody well done mate!
your sleeping tent needs to be little bigger than a coffin, Because it's reflective, sealed and insulated, there's no need of a heat-source inside of it, even at 0F, which you'll never see cause you'll never see the first of December. Make a separate, work pavilion out of the Producer's tarp.. YOu can have the one way projected heat of a Siberian fire lay out in front of the pavilion, on days that rain makes it necessary to have the pavilion (and also be outside of the sleeping-tent). The tarp and tape tent only requires half of the reflective 12x12 tarp to make.
Good Day Bill. Hoping to get back to PHS and Williams Harbour next year! Might see you.
All the best William.
You look amazing and I want to know if you feel well after coming back.
CONGRATULATIONS WILLIAM!!! 🇨🇦🎉❤😇
Did you draw, or buy, the plans to your new house?
Oh snap…
Just noticed you have a dartboard
Bro, I can drink beer, play cricket, and 01 till the sun comes up
William, are you trying to feed all of nature, or just the animals around your shelter?
Just teasing, you're doing great, so fun to watch. I like you're attitude.
Great stuff- thanks for sharing William! 💪🏽
How did you stay warm all night with no fire in your tilt? I noticed both Dub and Timber struggled to keep their feet warm. Did you feel any ill effects from the cold at all? Are you part polar bear? 😂
Did you ask if you could use a gun?
