Lopez native Callie Blue tackled the untamed wild of Patagonia for History Channel’s survivalist television show “Alone.” The series will start airing on Thursday, Dec. 8.

Now in its third season, the show features participants who enter the wilderness carrying only what they can fit in a small backpack. They are alone in harsh, unforgiving terrain with a single mission – stay alive as long as they can. They must hunt, build shelters and fend off predators as they endure extreme isolation and psychological distress while plunging into the unknown and document the experience themselves. No camera crew. No producers. It is the ultimate test of human will as contestants hope to win a cash prize of $500,000.

About Callie Blue

Blue was born and raised on a small island in the Salish Sea (Lopez). She attended alternative schools and was given the opportunity to follow her passions and travel the world from a very young age. After graduating high school, her adventurous spirit led her on journeys around the globe. Highlights include a year in Australia, becoming a Dive Master in Thailand, foraging the jungles of Maui, working on a remote island off the coast of Ireland, mountain climbing in Guatemala and camping her way across Norway. After migrating back to Lopez, she moved into a small cabin in the forest where she lives with no electricity or running water. She recently opened a business, Pachamama Apothecary, in Lopez Village.
