Britt comes to the show after first appearing on Season 3, where he spent 35 days in Patagonia. Following his stint on Alone, the Ohioan went back to his position as a senior accounting coordinator at FedEx, according to a company blog post, and said that the experience was like nothing anyone could possibly imagine. "You take for granted how simple it is to acquire something to eat every day," he said in the blog. "When that ease is removed, you really appreciate how easy it is to get up off the coach and walk to the refrigerator."
Despite his concern with food, rations to eat aren't among what Britt chose to bring with him for Season 5. Instead, he opted for a knife, a multitool, a paracord, fishing line and hooks, a pot, a ferro rod, a sleeping bag, bows and arrows, a folding saw, and trapping wire, according to his cast bio. Good thing he knows how to hunt!
