Alone / Season 2 equipment
Ten choices each.
Different trade-offs.
All 100 selected slots are recorded from the original HISTORY profiles. Start with category frequency, then open the individual lists.
People and item slots are different counts.
Every participant selected an axe, saw, ferro rod, sleeping bag and cooking vessel. Nine selected fishing line and hooks; nine selected a gill net. Four people used two separate food-ration slots.
Each frequency below counts a participant once per category. Pans and pots share a cooking-vessel category; all saw styles share a saw category. The exact distinctions remain in each kit.
