Woniya on Jordan's Moose Kill, Alone Season 6 

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...)

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!

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!

Anyone who has an issue with seeing people kill animals shouldn't be watching the show, period.

I dig this chick. She's so articulate and knowledgeable. She's humble and mindful of so many things around her. I respect her.

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)

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.

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.

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!

Imagine if Woniya and Jordan where on season 2 when they had teams 😂 they would be unstoppable with their combined skills.

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!

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.

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! -Gareth

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...

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 :)

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

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 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.

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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

Your explanation just made you one of my favorite people. Thank you for explaining this so completely. ❤️

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

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

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.

Agree with you on Jordan's kill. You did so well on the show. Really impressed with your skills.

I actually appreciated the way you spoke about this. I misjudged this video from the title... Thank you!

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.

So well said!! All extremely accurate and logical statements!! Our greatest respect for you , Jordan and the rest of the season 6 participants.

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!

As a Canadian, I watched season 6, 2 times! It was so good! I'm really happy for Jordan! Good for him! Jordan was many times in Siberia and had a lot of respect for many traditions! I think some people didn't understand him very well... ------------------------------------------ But you... you were fantastic! Amazing! You are a super woman in my book! We have the same age, I'm a recovering drug addict and I've been through hell. But watching you gave me so much motivation and help me to just get out of bed. With anxiety & depression, watching someone like you it's incridible and give me some hope. Thank you so much!✨️✨️✨️

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 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.

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!

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!

Dang, hitting us with some straight up reason. Loved you on the show, you were completely epic.

I have never commented on a RU-vid 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

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.

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!

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!

Love your perspective Woniya! Rooted for you throughout the show, so happy to have found your channel. You are an inspiration.

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.

You are one smart lady. I am impressed with you in all ways.

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.

Looked for a 'go fund me' after season six. Because of you. You were the most impressive contestant I've seen yet on the series. Your wilderness wisdom and it's implementation made the show for me. Wanted to see you win! The boiled entrails, the rabbit foot and squirrel tail soup were hard core! You are so right about the meat industry. I think the video "Dairy is scary" nearly single handedly gave the dairy and meat industry the punch in the nose it had coming. Blessings to you and yours as our world enters the most trying time it it's history.

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.

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.

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.

You are a Queen! and I was rooting for you and Nikki so hard during Season 6! Thank you for the video!!

I just finished season 6 today. So much respect for you Woniya!! You’re an amazing survivalist!! 💕

Just watched season 6 of alone on Netflix. Your Amazing and I was routing for you! Thank you for standing up for Jordan! That shows even more so how amazing you are! Congrats on your near win!!!!

Just saw the show Alone and loved you. Thus I´m looking you up tonight: thank you for being such a beautiful bridge between the natural, instinctive, intuitive animal called a "human" and the smart, intellectual, soul-full, vocal being called a "human". Much love, Lone Admani

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!

This is fantastic Woniya! So loved listening to your knowlege on hunting and animals. Well said and wonderful to hear your support.

We in my family really loved you and your tenacity and we were pulling for you to win but by the same token I really liked Jordan. He seemed to be like a big kid playing with his toys as far as this whole survival thing. What you said about Jordan and the moose killing was spot on . Ive seen a guy make a lung shot on a deer and i told him not to keep following it but he did for over a quarter mile and the blood played out and no deerwas found. One has to be able to control their euphoria of the circumstances and do the right thing.

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.

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!

Great explanation! All too many times people comment on things uneducated with zero experience. ❤

Woniya you are an "Alone" favorite of me and my wife! Your approach to survival (and life in general) is inspirational. Further proven by the credit you give to Jordan!

I agree with your thoughts completely. A few episodes in I was sure and hoping that you and Jordan would make it the longest. Your approaches were in my opinion the most balanced and the way you guys moved and worked seemed very aware and deliberate. All the best!

You are a winner in my eyes. I cried when you left. Your connection to the experience and lace of gratitude was extraordinary.

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 are such a beautifully intelligent person on a such a spiritual and emotional level, we need more of you in the world!! I think it’s hard for some people to fully understand what survival and starvation really means until you go through it!! I’m sure their perspective would change pretty quick.

I love you (metaphorically). Not only did you explain this well but you also opened my eyes. I'm going on my first hunt this fall (deer) and you've done two things for me: 1- I am going to make it a personal mission to be as responsible as I can. 2- my 16 year old dog is in his final months and your video has comforted me relating to "suffering" of an animal. Thank you 💖

Woniya, you’re a class act and easily my favorite competitor ever on the show! You’re a joy to watch....so much love to you

Woniya, a great explanation for folks that think meat comes from a meat tree or is magically produced from thin air. I agree absolutely with everything you have stated. I was pushing for you to win the episode as you suffered and survived so well, I have to say as well you look bodaciously lovely, well rested and recovered from it all, my best Glen.

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 very recently discovered your channel here and really appreciate your perspective, and maybe just as much: the time you take to explain it and the various skills you feature in your videos.

Just found Alone and really enjoyed (binge watched) over 2 nights - gripping tv. You were great (with a great jacket) and you and Jordan really stood out as you both had really different attitudes to the others about the whole experience. I hope it’s brought you loads of new viewers and I have subscribed to find out more!

Great vid...sorry ya didn't win.but Damm you one tough girl....congratulations on getting so far

One of the best discussions I have ever heard on the morality of hunting. Well done! And congratulations on your amazing experience on season 6 of Alone. You were amazing!

Thank you woniya. It’s awesome to see the person who finished second to Jordan defend him. Cause he did nothing wrong the name of the game is alone. Wich is about surviving by any means necessary. Wich is what he did. He did no wrong so thanks for backing him up. Also. I was honestly amazed by your shelter building skills. Such a big beautiful home you built. An awesome just a wonderful person you are.

I know this is an older video but I just now saw it. As a life long hunter who dreams of an Alaskan Moose hunt adventure. I can say you're absolutely spot on in everything you said. It was completely accurate and well thought out with great articulation to non hunters without being condescending. I don't often find myself agreeing with every single point someone makes about hunting or not hunting. As much of it is a state of opinion. Especially with so many points made in this video. From my perspective you nailed every point accurately. Well said. I haven't watched season 6 yet. Just now half way through 5. Though I know the outcome i'll still root for you when the wife and I start it.

Woniya you are such an inspiration, so talented and such a wonderful teacher. Thanks for being you, I think it means even more during these quarantimes.

Woniya, just found the channel after finishing season 6 with my wife. You did an EXCEPTIONAL job on the show! By the end I was rooting for all 4 of the last contestants and especially you, would have been too cool to see you outlast everyone. Alas you had to make a very hard choice based on your understanding of the circumstance. Sorry if I spoiled anything for anyone that hasn’t finished yet. Also a great explanation of the real truth of that specific survival situation for folk that have never had to make those choices. Hope the sub, like and comment helps you.

You sold me with the pack of wolves example.

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

Excellent commentary, thanks Woniya!

So well said Woniya, I loved watching you on the show. What a beautiful soul you have!!

I just found the show and I'm so happy I found your channel!!!!!

My wife Laurel and I so wanted you to win. Thanks for sharing.

Just watched Alone S6 - you did stellar in the competition, and I have a TREMENDOUS amount of respect for you for choosing to spend this much time commenting on Jordan's moose kill. You're a true class act Woniya! Hope you're doing well!

Phenomenal response. Thanks for providing information for people who are unfamiliar with hunting.

Just heard the short version on the Joe Rogan Experience, and thank you for this! Don’t think anyone could have said it any better

9+ 0:03 / 21:00 Woniya, nice little talk about hunting and ethics. You raised some good points comparing hunting to industrial meat production. Vegetarians notwithstanding, we are all killers, but most of us have proxies doing our killing for us. Glad to see you are doing well and best wishes.

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.

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.

You were favorite of mine to watch in the show, Just finished it. Good video explaining this, so many don't get it. As a big game hunter, I bless all of my meat and after the shot comes the hard work to take care of the animal begins. Bring it home to family and friends is reward. Long hunts where I don't get one, are some of my most favorite, ~5 day trip in bush and not all the hard work. ASIDE: We travel with a trailer that is a meat locker. Confident hunter, maybe. 120% want to take care of the animal, you bet ya.

Realy appreciate how you explain eating for interested people to understand. Thank you

You are so 100% right. Here in the UK we are not allowed to hunt with bows or crossbows they say it causes suffering...... Yet we farm animals and make them suffer daily.... But we can hunt small game with a air rifle with a .22 pellet that unless hit correctly and accurately it will cause suffering. Hunting in the UK is kida frowned upon though sheeple are happy about the cruel farming industry.

Outstanding video. You are a true philosophical survivor. Your perspective is greatly appreciated.

This chick's a national treasure.
