Contestant Bio

Oliver Hoogendorn (25) and Wilson Hoogendorn (23) are Inupiaq brothers from Nome, Alaska, known for their wilderness skills and feats of endurance. They were the first Native Alaskan team to summit Denali in 13 days and have skied down the highest peak in North America in one day. Oliver is a commercial fisherman and Wilson a gold diver, spending six hours a day underwater. They hunt moose, seals and whales using traditional methods, tools and weapons carved from wood and ivory, valuing the land that sustains them.
