My story- Alone Season 5, Mongolia 

Brooke you are the poster gal for female empowerment. You are a kind, intelligent, resilient and humble human. I am such a fan. I love how you interact with the audience and pray. You seem so sweet, like the bestie every girl wants.❤️ Thank you for putting out such positive and inspiring content.

I used to be homeless for a while I had to camp in the woods at times but I look back on it and that was one of my happiest times in life I just felt so free that was good times back then I even miss those times today life was so good did not have much money I would work in day labor to make some money are still I cooked in the woods and stayed in the woods it was a good life back then I was so happy I'm still happy but I miss those times because I felt so free

Brooke, you and the other women of Alone have inspired me so much! Instead of waiting any more years to find a male partner who would do these outdoorsy things with me, I'm now going out on my own and teaching myself shelter building, fishing, hunting, tanning... all kinds of things. It is so empowering. You are a badass, and also a sweetheart - thank you for being you!

PS Brooke, You might not realize this, but you're definitely a Hero for a lot of us due to your survival tips, educational adventures and trials and tribulations you go through. And I know I speak for many of us viewers when I say, thank you for caring about us your people / viewers!! You definitely make us all feel like family! Once again many thanks to you Brooke! 🇺🇸👍🙂💓 Callie Nash from Apple Valley California 🍎👍👌 May God always bless you Brooke and put a hedge of protection over you and your family!!

What an amazing adventure, I spend 99% of my time alone (except for two dogs) and I have learned to add the missing 'l' to alone so I am all one with all the Creator has given me.

I love how you made your birch chain to mark each day of accomplishment, the way you kept track of the fish you caught, and the calendar and the diary. I never even thought about how important it is mentally for survival to have a sense of time and to have some sense of organization. I have never even camped by myself, so I am in complete awe of you and your ability to survive and to enjoy life. Thank you for sharing your adventures Brooke! It means a lot to me!!! Thank you thank you!!!

I loved watching this season with my kids. They are 7,6, and 3. They played in the backyard all summer making shelters and foraging foods to survive. We spent more time outside as a family than we ever have...We got out and got happy. 😁

I don't know why people would criticize you on what you did to pass the time. They are not there in your shoes! These people seem to just need to criticize others to make themselves feel better. You go! Keep making information videos!! Thank you!

The biggest disappointment in watching Alone 5 for me was that they didn't give you more air time. The biggest surprise of this video is how much stuff they allowed you to take back with you.

I just plain old love watching you! You're a rare breed of woman. Love you any where you be!

I feel like I am just now watching the REAL Alone: Mongolia. The feelings and the ideas are what brings the adventure and the ordeal and the testing to life.

My favorite part was you coming Home To your family 🙏 love is more important than money

You are Awesome Brooke! Loved hearing your personal story! I’m 70 and would love to go anywhere with you. You would be a wonderful daughter to me Brooke! Hugs and Safe Travels always, MommaFaye 🌺

Brooke, my favorite part, and a lesson for me was the idea of the trench from outside to feed oxygen to the fire and help it draft better. Really a clever idea and valuable survival info. Thanks!

Brooke, I love everything you and Dave do. I'm 63, my survival days are behind me, but your love for nature is addictive, and I just think it's wonderful to see, how you seem to push obstacles away, I could tell from Vancouver to Siberia, you had learned some things, I love how, as good as you are, you keep allowing yourself to be taught new things, so Inspiring . I am subscribed to both you and Dave's channels, thank you for doing them, and God bless you both.

I live off grid at the base of Mount Shasta. I experienced a storm like you were talking about one day. I could almost see the change in air and you could feel the pressure of the air around you being moved away by the oncoming storm moving down the face of the mountain. To this day it’s one of the most awesome natural phenomenons I have ever experienced.

Your a true inspiration!!!

Thanks, Brook, for sharing your story of what you experienced in Season 4 & 5. I think taking your Letterman Tools & making those crafts was an excellent idea. Ignore those nasty comments! Some people live to make others feel rotten. That tick bite sounded scary. Glad you made it out & were treated successfully. Love your videos! Keep those videos coming!😊

two years later, I'm watching this, my favorite part is watching you at home. Sometimes in the telling your expression stirred something fearful in me, I'm so thankful you are safely at home, and watching you in 2021, me not getting the first bite of your fish or onion, and the troubling look in your eyes, makes me happy today is today. You and Dave are my favorites!

It's weird watching vids without Moose. My wife and I cannot get enough of him. I smile every single time I see him.

They could make it better at the start by doing a couple of things: 1) Keep everyone warm and nice the day they take you out. Put you in a tent with someone that makes sure that you are not going out and getting started. Then the next day they, feed you and turn you all loose at the same time. 2) Send drones out to each area before launch day and let you watch them fly over your area too choose where you want to be dropped off in your area. 3) Turn you loose in the spring.

just discovering your channel. I'm an avid Backpacker from Michigan. I spent 5 weeks on the AT so I was kinda empathetic to the emotional battle you described. Nowhere near what you endured but I could at least understand. so happy we found you. I'm hoping you inspire my wife :)

Oh my gosh, if I ever had to be in a survival situation, you can bet your advice will probably save our lives. I am also going to put an emergency pack together just to have basics handy. Your shelter builds are phenomenal. Great job, Brook you were doing a great service. Just binging on your videos, thank you.

My favorite part of Season 5 is the fact that it was in Mongolia! The land of the"Huns" has always been fascinating and mysterious!!

I have a deep respect for you Brooke, you do things that's way out of my reach. Keep on trekking.

What an amazing story that you have shared with us I've never been so attentive. All I can say is you are one strong woman to have lasted 28 days in such an environment very hard to keep a cool head with all that you had to endure and I admire your guts and determination, I just love your resourcefulness and creativity too you made some pretty cool stuff, I thought the jewellery and mobile pieces were sweet, I really enjoyed this vid thank you.☺❤💪👍

Girl, you are an inspiration to all of us women! Love listening to you and your stories about survival skills and off the grid excursions! You are an incredible person and very brave to do what you do. I don’t mind being alone but I don’t think I would try to survive somewhere since I am older now. I would rather watch you. Thank you for the entertainment, you are the best on utube! Keep em coming! I’m gone!

I live alone and somerimes go for weeks without seeing anyone. I talk To my cat and to myself a lot, and to passed family - I feel lile an old italian woman - but I'm not 😆

The first part of my message has dissapeared...i said " i cant belive they did not show you trying to catch fish ect...its borderline criminal" 👍

My favorite part of season 5 was hearing what people decided to bring with them. I am amazed at your shelters. Inspiring! Thank you for the recap. I love your creativity. I do the same. Making things is fun and soothing.

We binged Alone 1-6 over the past 6 weeks. We were heartbroken when you and Dave tapped in 4 and were so happy to see you back in 5. Thanks for sharing your adventures! Love all your fun crafts!

7' Thumbs up" Enjoyed every minute of your story . Thank you for sharing.

Thanks so much for sharing this awesome story👍👍👍👍

BROOKE!.. You are such a treasure, I just love your enthusiasm. I am just so glad I found your channel. Being on alone once is just an incredible journey, but 2x,s...whew, I dont know how you did it. This was such a tremendously amazing story to tell, be soooo proud that you have had the ablilty and guts to 1. Do it, but then 2. Live to tell it. Yes, dear you shoukd feel so proud. My favorite part of this story is prolly everything. But your creativity, the daysy chain, the baskets, the jewelry, all of those Amazing things you made is most likley what I love the most. I actually remember seeing you wear those feather earrings on another vlog you did, thinking to myself...How cool is this Brooke girl...lol...I wish you so much luck with your new adventures, God only knows you deserve it.. You definatley have proven yourself. One of these days God willing we shall meet one day. You have captured my heart, you have opened my eyes to a whole new world. Be blessed, and take care. ~ Vicki ❤

Brooke, the best part of season five is the fact you survived and you are here to tell us about it.

Really enjoyed you sharing your Mongolian moments with all of us. I liked how you used the fire air tunnel to help remove smoke from your shelter. I was rooting for you.

You think like I do. Also , since I've retired I am making things constantly to not go crazy and feel artistic purpose. Lots of art. Only difference with me, I would love the green tarp.

Congrats on surviving 28 days alone....you handled survival well. I think if you had gone in at a heftier weight, it would have helped somewhat, but it seems that location was super thin on edible resources. :(

I just watched your story and found myself crying for missing out on "my life" by screwing it up being frustrated at constant discouragement instead of being encouraged to be who GOD made me to be. At 58 I find myself being rejected by most of my family(thx cv19 bs)and desperately yearn to just be engulfed by nature! I kayak, fish, forage and camp alone now. I crave your videos hahaha they feed my soul. Your prayers make me happy. Will be actually DOING your 5 fire "thing". Thank you so much! God bless you!

Hearing you say “you kept yourself busy so you wouldn’t eat yourself alive”, or something to that affect, really makes me think about why we are seeing so much depression. Think about it, everything is empty instant gratification, which does zero for the mind and soul. This Spring I am going to build a pallet tiny home, just so I have both a physical and emotional positive project to accomplish. Stuff and things don’t bring the same kind of satisfaction as doing some of the most basic physical things. I love watching you attack a project with such fierce determination and love of the challenge. It is inspiring. And I love that you give thanks to our Almighty God for all the gifts and blessings in your life.

You did a great job Brooke! You are too kind about History's representation of your time there.

My favorite part was the horns you found, and the fact you left your fishing lines in the water. I hope everyone fished like that, makes sense.

How could people criticize your crafts? Very very cool! Love everything you do, Thank you for sharing your life❣️

Alone has become a favorite show for me & my wife. Really enjoyed the review of your Alone experience. We knew there must be many events, chores and challenges not shown in the program. Thanks for sharing your personal story on RU-vid. You made “Alone” even more intriguing and happy to watch.

My favorite part of Season 5 Alone is that ten of you got to come back and of course Mongolia! Thank you for sharing.

You did great an amazingly brave

I think making your crafts during that time in Mongolia is an awesome thing to do and a very good way to steward your time. I totally understand being in beyond hot weather! I love being outdoors but, live in Texas, where it gets really hot so, in July and August, unless I am in the pool, I stay inside with the air-conditioning.

Don't have words to tell you how amazing you are. I literally listen to everyone word you say.Always

That is amazing that you were so creative. Your neurons were really charging. That is hard to do when you are so isolated! Wow I am totally impressed. I just love the way you enjoy life so much. 😊

Thanks for sharing your experience with us.. love the details! So glad you enjoyed your time in Mongolia!!

Ty Brooke for sharing your personal experience and your stories in Mongolia .I loved all the stuff that you made well done. I recently found out through 23 & Me my father was Mongolian. So for me it was really neat to see the souvenirs that you have from Mongolia.❤️🙏🏼

You are AWESOME❣️. HOW BRAVE AND SMART❣️. Listening to you ... my brain tumor eases the pain😬 Like the way you kept yourself busy on the trip. Blessings🙏❤️

Oh wow i don't have tv but i bet i would say my favorite part is how kewl your shelter looked. Those horns and your mobiles are pretty awesome.

I just adore her whole vibe & feel she brings across 🤩

Your character is inspiring . Thank you for your open candor .

Amazing challenge, what struck me the most is how you create something out of nothing and how incredibly artistic you are. I watched your star gazer mini cabin on wheels I love the stenciling you did on the walls, every show you do you put an artistic flair on it, THANK YOU because while I am artistic I need to do that more when I’m out or when I’m camping. God Bless You & Dave Thank you to what you have brought to my life in just the few videos I have watched of you and Dave. Peace and to quote Brooke - I’m gone. 😊

I was so excited that you was doing another season of Alone. I had wished they showed more of your time there, So this was a great video to fill in the gaps and hear your honest opinion about your time at Mongolia. The things you made are beautiful! I would love to see a video of your making some of these items like the jewelry and baskets. Also you have the cutest cat ever!!!!! Thanks for sharing with us.

Thanks so much for sharing your story! So interesting to hear you break it down and tell us what you did to manage the situation! Time management and dealing with your mind.....very creative!cool!

You are incredible! I really enjoyed hearing your story. Your survival skills are amazing. Your birch and feather creations are precious. You are so resourceful. I really admired the journal you made. Thank you for sharing.

I don't usually comment but I feel a kindred spirit. I too built 3 log homes, built from scratch while raising 5 kids and now 2 grands. We worked ourselves silly and you are so lucky to have a good partner/husband who works along side. I have never regretted the experience. Life is short, go fast, work hard and move on. GOD is so good.

Wow! wow! I can't imagine what it would be like to be alone for that long and starving. The most I have been alone was 6 days backpacking.. I honestly LOVED it. But did find myself talking to myself... (and I had a dog with me). When the show aired I tried to find videos of you at your camp.. they just didn't post that many, I was bummed. I know you worked so hard there. I am so proud of you.. you are a strong woman, I am curious what this has done to change you.. Love the painting you bought. I don't have a favorite part of the show since I have not seen it.. I only experienced it through your stories.. (which honestly, I think is better.. I am not a fan of them editing out days of your challenge I would want to see it all.. good, bad, boring, and funny). Cheers by friend.. I have total respect for what you have been through (I would of made jewelry too.. hehe... got to keep the mind busy)

Amazingly gutsy!!! It takes a lot of courage to try that show. I can only imagine how many folks sit back and say “I could do that”. I am NOT one of them. I know I couldn’t. Another great vid as well.

My wife and I just started watching Alone for the first time. We just watched you tap on season 5. Brooke you are an amazing lady and outdoor professional. Well done, thank you for sharing your adventure in more detail. Keep on crushing!

Brook I just love your channel and I’m so glad I found it you I also love the outdoors camping with our kids all grown up now but you also remind me and resemble a very dear friend of mine who lived up north and I’ll be watching your channel from now on with thumbs up all the time!

You are so cool and you be proud of your accomplishments!! And the craft you made is so beautiful and creative and I totally get that keep your self busy kept your mind sane!! People who don’t get that,well, “up yours... “ to them!! You did good girl ❤️👍💪

Never Ending success and good news B! Well Hmmmm........... My Favorite part of Season 5? Girl In The Woods Was There!!! 👍

I’m the Human Furnace when I sleep…isn’t it amazing when you’re out there the way your mind turns quickly to ingenuity to figure out how to make stuff or resolve problems with what you can find on hand? I LOVE that…

you are such a good story teller. you bring us right along on your memories

great you got some souvenirs , whenever i go out of the US i get something for my house... that way i have good memories when i see it. i also get a rock ... i did that in Cambodia and then found out it was illegal later because it was on Angkor Wat property. your painting is beautiful will look nice in your home!

Good job Brooke! Love these long stories.

I especially appreciate you and ur husband’s lifestyle and resultant teachings. May you live long and prosper! Amen

Brooke, I love your story. Not even done listening to you yet, but wow. I can not believe that anyone would second guess what you did in Mongolia. You went, you were so brave to be alone and you survived. I don't think I could do that by myself. Get out side and stay happy. Love from Canada!

enjoyed your story of your stay in Mongolia very much, thank you for sharing !!

Hey Brook, awsome video. It filled in the blanks. My favorite parts were your clips. Wish there had been more. I end up really kinda pulling for everyone, and feeling bummed when someone left. But I was definitely in the Brook cheering section. Also loved the Dave grouse kill.

Season 5 my favorite was when you build that tiny little home and how you can survive all by yourself with your dog and she’s amazing I love her and you both have so much love and kindness in your heart. When you made your Reuben sandwich I would absolutely nuts. That’s one of my favorite sandwiches in years it was so delicious looking I want to bite it yummy yummy… may GOD WATCH OVER YOU. One of my favorite things about you Brooke how you pray 🙏 Do you have faith in God it’s so amazing to watch you pray and how you pray for all of us I get all choked up with tears in my eyes. I am a Christian I love praying. I pray sometimes 2 to 3 times a day. And I feel blessed after I do that and then have a little talk with God and thank him for everything he’s done for me. Now I’m asking him to watch over you. Thank you for sharing I hope I win you’re a little bone game . Patty from Chicago 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

You are amazing girl, OMG! You kept me in a spell listening to your story. I am in awe listening to you and your life. A truely amazing woman you are. I could've listened to you all night. You have had a blessed life. One with the earth! I'm looking forward to many miry storys. Thank you for sharing!!

My favorite part of season 5 was your behind the scenes footage that you shot. It seems to me they didn't show enough footage of season 5. Thanks Glenda

Oh something i didn't realize was that I've been getting your videos for quite a while but didn't know i wasn't subscribed! But RU-vid gave me your videos because if i see one i watch it so you tube gave them to me because i click on them. Amazing

Amazing video thank you for sharing with us..y favorite part was seeing ALL of the beautiful things you created. You are so very artistic. Blessed 🙏

Your just AUsome! I know your family is so proud of you. 💖

Nice crafts! I love feathers and beads and stuff and made a lot of stuff when i was young 🙂 keep up the good work with the shows and crafts, nature is awesome. love watchin' ✌️

Your very interesting I had to make a Shelter when I was in the guides and was left alone at night and had to survive the night I got my highest Award it was called the Queen’s guide xx 😘 I loved doing that and I carryed on as a guider and do that for 20 years and loved showing the girl how to survive am retired now but still think of I all the things that I learnt and I carried on being in the outdoors as my career was to be a Gardner and florist xx and I worked with special needs in gardening to xx 😘

Soooo cool.thanks for sharing

I just found your channel and loving your content so far!! Had no idea you where on that show until this video! I am so impressed with all that you know and do. You are a hero to me!

I wish that we got to see more of you. I was sad to see you go. I hope that History leaks your commercial one day. My favorite part of season 5 was seeing Randy build his log cabin and fireplace.

My best part of was watching you yell about the "GREEN GREEN,,I CANT TAKE THE GREEN ANYMORE"

You are a GREAT person! Love watching you.

i know this is couple years old now watched you and dave on season 4 then watched you on season 5 i love how creative you are love watching you channel and daves you guys are beautiful people cant get enuff of all your adventures.......simply amazing......

Love bows! Lobe recurve bows! I would love to have one and hunt with it but I am not sure I could pull one back. I'm 5 feet tall, maybe I'll need to get a kid size😂

Hello Brooke, this was a great video. You have experienced so many great adventures. Most people only dream about the wonderful experiences that you have enjoyed. I know that Dave realizes what a priceless gem he has found in you. Your videos are are always very entertaining and informative. Please be safe out there. Keep those great videos coming along. 🤗

Girl, the people that are making the negative comments are prob just jealous bc they couldn’t begin to figure out how to make that beautiful stuff! You inspire me to want to get out on an adventure of my own, and make things for myself! You go girl! ❤️

You are amazing and inspirational!

Great video , I feel like I'm watching the missing episodes ;-) Modifying the multi tool was outside the box genius esp scoring the file ! Just awesome !

Awesome thank you so much Brooke for that info!! I have to really tell you that I think you're the best!! When I think about someone being the salt of the earth, you definitely come to mind!! You bring so much joy to a lot of people, and many of us whom don't get out in the woods much, definitely vicariously live through you and your experiences. We all learned so much from you on survival tips, that if God forbid we were ever to be faced with an unexpected situation in the woods, many of us would turn to the survival educational information that you've provided for us to survive and stay alive. And for that alone, I have to thank you so very much! They say that everything happens for a reason. And I truly believe that! Because one day I was scrolling through my RU-vid channels, and bumped into your show. And I've been a fan follower of yours ever since! I'm not easily impressed, but I have to say you've not only impressed me, but you've inspired me! now I don't think I could spend a night in the woods alone by myself like you do, so I have to tip my hat off to you! But a possible hike ... As you say, SHE GONE! lol ... thank you so very much Brooke Whipple for keeping us all smiling on all your adventures!! 👍🙂 Lots of love! Callie Nash from Apple Valley California 🍎🇺🇸

Going back and binge watching your old videos and I must say this is fascinating! What an experience this must have been.

Greetings from a another girl in the woods. Living alone in a dry cabin near Fairbanks with my retired sled dog team. Just wanted to say thank you for sharing your story. I really enjoyed it. Watched all season of Alone, cheering on the girls out there. Loved your team work in 4 (I loved the fireplace) and your creativity in 5. I strongly believe what you say that you have to adapt to the situation. I can imagine how hard it was doing it alone, with no interaction. Winter are long and dark here, I adapted good being alone because I still can call or visit friends. I admire you that you could do that. Skills can be learned, being mentally strong enough to stay there and survive not. Have a great winter and stay warm.

Your very creative making all that stuff out of bark and feathers and teeth haha. I myself could of never stayed that long good job.♥️

Great video! One of my favorite parts of season 5 was Larry pepper spraying his bedding inside his shelter. I was sure that he'd wind up getting enough of the spray in his eyes to cause problems, but it seemed that it didn't happen. You answered a question I had been wondering for some time now regarding the traps (why it seemed that on some seasons folks had more than one. I suspected that one was given for protecting show equipment.). It really is surprising how much the reality of a person's experience can vary remarkably from what is portrayed on the show. I was under the impression that you didn't ever have much of anything to eat, and that was what in part lead to your tapping out. Sounds like you ate far more than we were led to believe. Well, like I was telling Dave a week ago, in two weeks I'm going to be heading up into the Colorado mountains for a solo experience. Not for too many days (unfortunately), but it will be my longest time alone in the wilderness to date. It's pretty much early winter up there now, so my experience ought to be quite interesting!

When you showed your birch bark chain, it gave me chills. So brilliant, you have such a bright spirit.

Brooke, you are amazing! Love your story and your faith in our Lord! I admire your strength and enthusiasm for life! God bless you, sister!
