100 Days Alone With Roland Welker

The Kinetik Fitness Show

Roland Welker is a reality star famously known as the winner and toughest contestant of "Alone" season 7 reality survival series on The History Channel. Roland survived and lasted 100 Days in The Arctic wilderness to be crowned champion and win 1 million US Dollars. It is the longest anyone has ever lasted in the shows history.

Roland grew up in a big family, living with his parents, sister, uncle, and grandfather. And thanks to his uncle and grandfather, he was exposed to outdoor challenges from a young age. Roland’s mother Mona Welker sadly passed away when he was training in Montana in July 2019 as part of his preparation for Alone. He couldn’t attend her funeral but vowed to dedicate his victory to his late mother. Roland was trained in hunting, fishing, trapping, and bush craft by the time his teenage years ended.

Before rising to international fame, he worked as an Alaska Hunting Guide, survivalist, gold miner, and a logger.
