Alan Tenta spent 28 years as a public-school teacher; his life took a turn when his outdoor education students convinced him to apply to The HISTORY® Channel’s reality survival television show Alone® . At the age of 52, Alan Tenta became the oldest winner of the popular survival series. Alan overcame significant physical and mental hardships to outlast nine other competitors in the wilderness of northern Saskatchewan, Canada. Growing up in the west Kootenays, Alan was introduced to the outdoors at an early age. Under the guidance of his father, Alan developed a passion for fishing, archery, and the natural world.
Alan graduated from the University of British Columbia with bachelor’s degrees in Human Kinetics and and Education. In 1996, Alan and Lisa, who is now his wife, moved to Fort Nelson, BC to start their careers in education. After having two children, Davis and Mackenzie, they began moving south to be closer to family. After five years in Dawson Creek, BC teaching alternative education and humanities, Alan and his family moved to Invermere, BC. After securing a permanent teaching position at the high school in 2011, Alan taught alternative education, English, social studies, and physical education. Realizing the importance of spending time in the natural world, in 2016 Alan developed and implemented an outdoor education course at his high school. The class became so popular, outdoor education had to be offered in both semesters. His students enjoyed rock climbing, canoeing, archery, overnight camping trips, mountain biking, survival skills, carving, ice fishing, fly tying, fly fishing, and animal and plant identification. He shared his passion for the outdoors with his students and it was his Outdoor Education class who initially encouraged him to apply for the survival television show.
Winning Alone® was Alan’s ultimate adventure. He pushed the limits of his physical and mental capabilities. At the same time, he used his skills as a bowhunter, fisherman, forager, and bush-crafter to outlast his competitors. Alan survived 66 days with ten items, ate only what nature provided, lived in a moss-covered shelter, and filmed the entire journey himself. During his experience, Alan lost 78 pounds! His time on Alone® taught him the importance of a relationship with nature, resilience, and the ability to maintain a positive attitude in the most challenging situations.
With vivid storytelling, photos, and video clips, Alan offers three sessions that apply the lessons he learned to help navigate the challenges of our world: Thriving Through Adversity – Embracing passion and resilience, Unplugged – Staying connected with the natural world, and Workplace Safety – Wilderness to workplace.
After Alone® , Alan took a leave from full time teaching and currently works as a teacher on call and is pursuing public speaking opportunities. Alan’s passion for teaching continues as he shares his knowledge and experiences as a speaker. When Alan has time, he creates content on his YouTube channel, Tenta Outdoors.
