Terry Burns on History Alone TV
In Case You Our Viewers Have Forgotten What History TV Is only is about, let me give you a brief description of the show. The show documents the struggles of 10 people, who come from all over the United States, as they survive alone in the desert (the northeast coast of Labrador in season 9) for as long as possible. They do this using limited survival kits, and contestants can “turn off” at any point in the game. The individual who survives the longest wins a grand cash prize of $500,000.
All previous seasons of the show have been filmed in various remote locations, including Vancouver Island, northern Mongolia, and the Great Slave Lake in the Northwest Territories, to name a few. This season, the competitors find themselves in their toughest conditions yet, on the northeast coast of Labrador. Known for unforgiving conditions like rain and snow, the place also brings a new enemy, the polar bear that stalks its prey.
According to the History announcements, wits, willpower, and survival skills will be tested as they must build their own shelters, find their own food, and defeat dangerous predators while enduring the challenging environment of Labrador.
In addition to Terry Burns, people appearing in this season of Alone include Adam Riley, Jacques Turcotte, Jessie Krebs, Juan Pablo Quinonez, Karin Lee, Tom Garstang, Benji Hill, Igor Limansky, and Teimojin Tan.
According to the History TV website, Terry decided to bring these 10 essential items on his trip: axe, sleeping bag, bow and arrows, fishing line and hooks, iron rod, paracord, 2-quart pot, grappling wire, multitool, crosscut saw.
Terry confirmed his casting on the History Channel show Alone in an Instagram post on May 21, 2022.
Terry Burns work
One word, or maybe two, for this question would be “commercial fisherman.” However, we’re pretty sure you want to know how he ended up being a fisherman. Is this profession Terry’s dream since he was a child? We’ll see.
Growing up in Hurricane, West Virginia, Terry spent a lot of time outdoors, mostly hunting and fishing. At the age of 21, he was hit by a truck. Although he survived the accident, that near-death experience gave him a new perspective on life and made him realize that life is not just material.
Shortly after the accident, Terry moved to Alaska. There he began working on the deck of a salmon fishing boat.
Terry has followed his passion in all 50 states and on 7 continents, surviving a handful of close calls. Terry is a man of stories, from surviving a plane crash in the Amazon to nearly losing his foot to frostbite.
In short, yes, fishing has been Terry’s passion since childhood.
While we don’t know how much Terry earned fishing in Homer, Alaska, the average salary for a commercial fisherman in Alaska is approximately $31,610 per year. We assume his earnings were somewhere around that.
