My tribe is from Alaska, we are Tlingit people of the tides, and I knew this was fake from the moment it aired, one of the wife's claimed to be this great fisherman, but when her skills were put to the test she acted like a fucking prissy ass bitch , screaming because a salmon touched her foot. My grandmother was cracking up the whole time.
***** actually living off the land is way more richer then any money can buy..you can't buy Culture. the very same culture that saved the First settlers and even help built North America...it's amazing how quickly Americans forget who made them in fact if it wasn't for Native Language Americans would of lost the war....
Yes I don't actually even watch it but noticed that old guy does fck all anytime its on only say I'm sick but there's so much needs to be he's a real loser
I met an Alaskan female engineer in Oxford, UK. I jokingly said, it must be great being a goodlooking female in Alaska what with the ratio of men to women. She replied, Alaskan women have a saying, the odds are good, but the goods are fucking odd!
Always get a kick out of it when Billy says comments like "the kids have to show me they can handle things on their own". Are you kidding me? Matt, age 34, Bam, 33, Bear, 29 and Gabe 27. They should all be able to everything without Billy being there. When do they become gown-ups, age 50?
And one last thing. When Billy says "I get worried when one of my kids wants to go out hunting on his own, something could happen. He could run out of food, or fall and get injured". Guess what Billy. I'm quite sure the camera crew following him has food, and would probably help him if he fell. In fact I'm pretty sure they could have a Discovery helicopter there in minutes. That's why this show is so fake.
I guess you just never grow up for ur parents. In there eyes ur always be the kids. My parents especially mom is always calling us kids. I call mines kids also nothing bad about it
Yeah it's about time they grow up. Lol. I've been bouncing around on my own basically since 18 sans support from parents. Them suckers are faking tv hard. Not a damn one of them boys are kids and they should all be on their own making their own life by now. Must be nice not to have to grow up!!! Yeah it's fake lol
For being a family that had lived in the bush with bears before I found that the season three episodes were so full of it it was a laugh. The boarding of the windows with large gaps so the bear claws could rip them off again, doors swinging inwards so easy for a bear to push in. Building of the grid showed the doors swing out so the frame helps keep the door from breaking inwards. So many small things and always seems to be a drama each episode - so much bad luck.
If I ever do a reality series about being marooned on a deserted island, I'm going to insist that it be within walking distance from a decent pizzeria.
Yep true,and Billy coming out every morning and giving a wake up call by wasting 12 gauge shells ??? you wouldn't waste them if you were "Surviving" would you ? And the fact that you are only 20 yards apart ,why not shout "Get up" ???
I lived in the Alaskan bush from 1990 to 2000..... Real folks living in the bush are too busy to make a TV show. I do have lots of great video footage I took showing animals and log cabins I built during my time there. The people living in the bush I knew, were generally honest, generous and hard working people.
Anyone who's ever lived in Alaska could tell you that they are total fakes. Especially when you see that they waited till the weather started changing to build their cabin. People who live/lived in Alaska know that summertime is work and preparation time. So that winter doesn't catch you unawares
But the Discovery channel peddled this show in the beginning as a documentary. This show is suppose to be how the Brown's actually live, but it's all a bunch of lies. They are trash!
Oh my days, I was hooked on this, cant believe how gullible I am dah, I would move to a remote cabin with no electricity, just a real fire n my dog 2moz, Im not into technology, probably cause I cant work most of it. Life is way too crazy now, no time for anything, people rushing about, wanting bigger houses, bigger/faster cars, plastic surgery.
Actually it's a program because it programs your brain to sit there and watch it and send you subliminal messages so that you sit on your ass and get fat and eat more food and spend more money on food and spend more money on new TVs and new entertainment stuff that's why it's called a program because it programmed you to spend money and give it to the government
Oh wow,thank you sooo much for clearing that up. Here i was,living my life under the allusion that all 'reality' shows were 100% real and non scripted.Phew,now i can get live again.
Never thought it was real and anytime I see an episode on that billy old guy never does ANYTHING only tell the kids what needs done he's always saying he's tired or feels sick what's the point in shows like this
News Flash - If a show has "reality" in front of it, unless it's a game show (and you can't always trust those), it's not reality. There are producers , directors, writers, etc. involved. I remember meeting a documentary producer years ago that informed me how produced MTV's Real World was. He went on to explain to me how nothing you see on TV is real, it's all produced. I talked to a girl that was on Blind Date. I thought "surely that's a realty show." She told me that the shows producers followed them everywhere feeding them the questions to ask one another. Ever notice how almost every end dinner scene had the same mindless adolescent questions about sex? Best thing to truly not support these shows is to stop watching them, and up your traffic renting or streaming scripted TV shows past and present.
I'm from Alaska originally. Most of the people I know from there saw through this crap right away. an observant individual would have noticed that while building their "house" they were stapling the cardboard over drywall. why would you need cardboard if the drywall is already installed? fake! the whole show is another attempt by discovery to interest people in alaska. they should represent the state of AK in a better light. I have honestly had people ask me if alot of people talk with the accent that this family does. Alaska is an incredible place full of tough and independent people. remember, Sara Palin isn't originally from Alaska so don't judge us too harshly
Ryan Ferretti cardboard may be an insulator but not one 1/8" piece and not in alaska. I build houses for a living. They were saying that it was because they were so poor that they had to resort to that. The house I originally grew up in had burlap potatoe sacks stapled over the insulation. I get hard living and I saw no signs of it at "browntown". I saw a bunch of nutty people acting even nuttier to guarranty another season of their horrendous tv show. If u enjoy it for entertainment purposes then do so. But that was not what was being discussed in the above video
The carboard was temporary until they could get the inside walls. I never saw any drywall but maybe I missed it. It is a reality show but it is not 100% real. They basically reenact stuff the producers want them too. In the part of Alaska they are in it is not near as cold as it was the first season. They are way down at the southern end now. Also they do not film in the winter so who knows where they live in the winter. They surely make a decent living having a high rated show on Discovery.
Captain Jim that all may be well and good. if you watch the clip in this video u can see the drywall behind the cardboard. but this show is still billed using "alaskan" in the name. this is simply using a name for marketing purposes. I don't see mick dodge Washington homeless man used in the name. they are capitalizing on the success of their previous shows about Alaska and it represents the state in a poor light. call it "nutso family that has no survival skills" or, better yet, "non-alaskan residents that stole permanent fund money from the state coffers". both of these titles would be much more applicable than "alaskan bush people". it is not a representation of the vast swath of people that live in "the bush" in alaska
The oldest son is shown fishing for salmon. He holds the rod and reel upside down and reels backwards. If he were truly self sufficient in the wild, there is no way he wouldn’t know how to properly operate a spinning rod and reel kit. Fake!
My family and I truly do live "off-grid" in the same Cascades forest where they filmed the Viggo Mortensen movie, "Captain Fantastic" about a family that lives off grid in the Pacific Northwest. Off-grid does not mean you don't have HBO or a W/D. We have both because we generate our own electricity (solar and propane generators). We have a gravity feed water system and composting toilets. We watched a few episodes of the Brown's and we were suspect right away that it was fake. For example, when you live off-grid the main year long chore is harvesting firewood. Each year we need 10 cords of seasoned firewood stacked by October and that's just enough to get us through winter months. The Browns have firewood here and there but not nearly the amount they would to get through the winter. Also, they don't hunt, fish, or gather nearly enough. Instead, they spend time doing dumb but entertaining stuff like building huts out of tires. And last season's finale when one of the brothers, Matt I think, admitted to secretly driving into town each night to get drunk at the bar. How does he get to town any night without the rest of the family knowing when all they have, supposedly, is a huge boat? We are sick and tired of off-grid people like us being portrayed as white trash anti-social idiots who don't have a clue how to survive or are so into survival that they come off as just plain weird. Ours is an alternative lifestyle. We bath and drink wildwater instead of treated water that all our neighbors peed in over and over again.
My Grandparent's home completely converted to off the grid in 2011. They live 5 minutes from a town and 30 minutes from a big city. They have high speed internet, DirecTV, a well generating 130 GPM, etc. Off the grid is not catching rain water in buckets and pooping in holes.
Your a very Lucky Man, hope you don't allow the Outside World to Brainwash your Kid's too much. My dream is to have a Log Cabin in the Woods, miles away from anyone. Lucky Sod, I envy you, good luck &Health to you all.
Wilfredo A Nunez Pacheco Honestly, this is the first time I've ever used this form of social media, any form of social media for that matter really, not quite sure what the analytics will show on the dashboard, perhaps otherwise in respects to the views I get, but yeah honestly...this is the first time.
bob smith It's a puertorican name, meaning I'm from Puerto Rico aka a US territory, so that makes me an american citizen, so obviously I get american shows on my TV. So thanks for basing my entire existence on a youtube username. Do better research next time.
News flash once you get your first paycheck for being on a reality show that's showcasing backwoods bartering, you no longer need to do backwoods bartering.
always like how these type shows shows backwoods people with brand new power equipment and very nice hunting and fishing gear. must have gone by the outdoor store on the producers dime.
More like Alaskan tax payers dime. No true Alaskan is fan of this bullshit. Lot them would love string Billy up leave his sorry ass for grizzlie bears .
I heard that my friend I'm from West Virginia I'm 40 years old and worked half my life and I can't afford to pay for the toys and tools they have.... SMH
+kmjansen so you find no enjoyment in movies, tv shows, video games, fiction books, art, plays, or basically anything that comes out in the form of entertainment nowadays?
Whenever I come across that show, the only thing I can think of is wanting to cut that stupid mustache/beard thing off of the dad. I don't know why it bugs me so much but it does. They also need to get the oldest daughter some dental appointments.
I want to take his fucking beard and tie a knot in the fucking thing. These are some ugly people. The only one with a clue is the oldest one Matt, and he had to go to town and get drunk just to cope.
Charles Erps LOL. So true. I think he drinks because he has a hard time dealing with the fact that he's like 40 years old and still lives with his parents.
12T90 LSD25 if the show only had Noah. I would never watch. he has some serious illusions. Einstein, REALLY!! engineer, architect. His speech....needs a therapy and a phycologists. I admire Matt, for staying away, from his controlling, manipulating Dad. he works them and pretends to be sick. they support the family (all but Noah, he's lazy, like Billy). I could go on. I think this entire family is sad.
It's not even "fake", they still go out into the wilderness, probably a good bit more than most people. There's just always going to be a script, they're still getting paid to be actors. They just ask like they usually would sometimes and the rest is all drama written by the producers, because otherwise nobody would watch it, it would be more boring than you might think. That goes for almost any reality show
Still love that family!!😍♥️ At least they are a family that puts there faith in our creator. Why do people have to always make a crappy remark about them. If you don't like them do not watch! I will support them 100%! Thank you Discovery channel for bringing them into our homes.😍♥️👍🤟✝️🙏
+Sam P Thats like asking a trump supporter if they fuck their cousin... clearly if CNN said it was raining outside, Trump supporters would ask god if it was true, then go grab their sunglasses.
Alaskan Bush People is one of the very few shows I watch. It makes me smile and I like to daydream that I could live like that one day. In short, it gives me a much needed break from reality. Real or not, I'll continue to enjoy watching. I've never really thought Alaskan Bush People was a real thing. It is television after all. Don't believe everything you see and hear. (especially when it comes to the media and government)
I watch it because it is the fakest thing on TV. Oh NO Toothache? End of the World. Oh NO tiny waves on the bay? End of the World. These people are the most panic stricken doofus's ever. Bear can't even walk 6 feet without flipping over. And now Snow Bird doesn't understand electricity or that you don't eat stuff in a store if you haven't paid for it. This is child abuse.
I agree with you. it's probably not fake because how can they just fake building a hole little town there's been situations where they hsd to go to town and i doubt that they are right near a town you wold hear the cars see the skyscrapers and all the machinery
When you hear "The amazing true story" on TV you should know it means exactly the same thing as when you hear truck drivers say, "And this ain't no shit!"
Survivor Man with Less Stroud. Unlike Bear Grills he goes out in the wild ALONE, and if he wants to film of him walking a quarter mile away, he has to put the camera up and then go back and get it. He's not followed by a camera crew.
i really do not care if it is fake or not, it is something somewhat interesting to watch. i like the fact that they can carry on a coversation without every other word being bleeped.
hahahahahah its real... i fear for the world.. why is everyone so retarted these days.. moonshiners is real to... and whatever car program that has to finish a car short on time is to..... how its made is the only real thing. wake the fuck up
Gold rush is real to an extent.. in other words, probably the most “real” reality show out there. But there is controversy. Take Fred “Dakota” Hurt for example. Him and his son were apart of the Hoffman crew during their first two seasons, back at porcupine creek. When fred bought the claim to porcupine creek before Todd Hoffman could renew his lease, discovery offered Dakota his own segment on the show. He turned it down because he didn’t like how fake and scripted discovery made the show seem. He posted a few articles about this, one of the first ones being on his public Facebook page from 2014 where he said “If you want a miner, call me... if you want an actor, pay me like one”. Ultimately, he wanted the show to be as raw as possible with out and added drama or audience bait. However, if you’ve been watching discovery at all, Him and his son Dustin, have their own gold mining show coming out soon. The name has changed a few times. I believe it is now called White Water In A Rush. I think it would be interesting to see if he caved into the scripted drama discovery had in mind, or if he finally got a raw, bare bones gold mining show. Basically, Gold Rush could be exposed in this same way. But given how much of what you see is real, it would be a boring video to make and watch.
Mitchell Topolinsky, The only thing "White Water" has to do with Todd Hoffman is that he borrowed them money. They are a completely different crew. There has been a whole episode about it. They still do real gold mining. The drama is probably added to some extend, but I don't think it's in the amounts you claim.
Jerry DeWees Newsflash they are getting paid some money per episode so I am pretty sure they are using some of that money for equipment. Whether the show itself is fake or real doesn't matter. This show is about a particular lifestyle that these people have chosen. Just because you can't see every aspect of their lives doesn't mean it isn't reality for them. People have become so accustomed to the fake drama soap opera like the Kardashians and the housewives of... that they think everyone is full of shit. At least this show demonstrates the struggles and triumphs of hard working people even if the episodes are staged tv. They are actually doing discussing and participating.
Back in '88, during the writer's strike, I was on an episode of "High Risk". A reality show that wasn't scripted. In that episode, they were following a car repossessor who has just taken a car around 145th and Crenshaw. I was on patrol and saw a red Nissan NX come out of a neighborhood "blacked out" (no lights). Thinking it might be a "fresh" stolen, my partner and I light it up. As we approached the driver, suddenly my partner and I were light up. Spinning around while I pulled my gun, The camera crew was yelling, "Don't shoot! Don't shoot! We're shooting a TV Show!".
David Britt despite their religious strengths they lack knowledge of things like Tithing, deliverance, & demonic oppression. Crucial to knowing God & saying you do. ALL persons that are born from above will be heavily attacked by demonic activity. Its the one thing that bugs me about the show is that they let this slip, but without studying quite heavily one will not understand this. They lack the resources to study as most Godly children have.
They aren't much "Bush People". First, who the hell would live in the wilderness with black leather motorcycle jackets? They certainly do not wear survival or appropriate clothing for the conditions, most the time. They aren't poor. Look at all the silver jewelry they wear. Most of them wear glasses. They are collecting royalties off Billy's books, he's written several. 30 year old sons, unmarried, still living and hanging out with Mom and Dad? They have some building and mechanical skills, which is good, but some of the boys are just plain WEIRD. Believe me, they know about technology. I bet they all have cell phones, just not on the show. It's FAKE.
marhlfld1 - they are all morons! no way those boys are ever gonna produce grandkids! the youngest girl probably will bc shes cute but the rest are just plain weird!
And they pretend that some women are going to come and squat in a makeshift homeless shelter with cold water showers, only eating game, and squatting in the woods in frigid Alaska. With the brothers all skulking around.
Mike lmao. I just watch because it’s entertaining. I think it’s hilarious a show can get that much under someone’s skin. If you take it for what it is...a good laugh, then you truly understand the shows direction. To analyze the show as if it is in fact a survival show you might need to look a little deeper at yourself. Lighten up a little bit, it will be alright, trust me.
Duh!! I already knew that. My husband started watching it but we laughed at how fake it was and stopped. Case in point, we noticed that the windows in their "old" houses had stickers on the windows. We enlarged the screen and saw a sticker where you had just bought them. Also a lot of the buildings looked new, like they just built everything for a show. And that was just one thing. They fake as crap!!!
This was a show I really liked watching. My husband just told me today there was a TV show. that proved it was fake and I was so shocked! I knew there must have been some sort of story line to direct them into different situations and what not, but thought they pretty much did live the Alaskan bush lifestyle. I still enjoy the show. Wonder how long it will stay on the air.
I was totally hooked on the show for many years. Then I began to wonder how so many things could happen and they not wise up. Then one son was an electronic expert. Then when the father got sic and had to travel down to Calf. They all had driver licenses. That was the last time I watched.
you wanna know how you know 100% it's fake? how you gonna live in the woods hunt for literally all the food you get and two of you're family members fat? how the fuck that happen?
Should check out Northern Rez..where the Native Culture is still alive and Strong..We live like this in the North hunt and live off the land like our Ancestors did plus it's part of the Treaty that was made with our Ancestors..if this was Canada the Browns would be dealing with Native people. We Hunt and live off the land too like the Natives of Alaska but the difference is that our side kept the Treaties with the Natives. what you see on Yukon Men is how it really is on the Rez in the North.
Same here. I lived in Alaska for several years. They don't mind being called Eskimos. They Inuits are Eskimo. The athabaskins don't like being called Eskimo because they aren't Eskimo.
You can't be white and a true Alaskan. You can't be white and a true American. You can't be white and a true south African. You can't be white and a true Australian. and so on. You just can't. You are an invader who took others property.
You're nuts if you don't think you walk up on animals regularly and routinely in AK. There's no need to fake that at all, if you're in the woods or near a river or shoreline in this state, it's a matter of time before you're in a frame with an animal. you develop a defensive reaction to twitching bushes along roads and sidewalk...
Well I did watch and I did point out to my wife that on several shots supposed to be at different times..they were all in the same clothes. Now I'm not saying that maybe filming didn't have something to do with that. ...But I will say you don't just walk up on a deer...with a camera crew~
I don't know if they are real or not. I do think the show should be called "The Bad Luck Browns", because they run into more problems than any family I've ever seen. If they have lived in Alaska for so long, it seems they would be more prepared for the weather and other mishaps. It seems more like the northern version of Gilligan's Island.
I live in Ketchikan (one of the towns they produced in) and they were such a nuisance they were driven out of town and I know multiple people that have stories of them and how they also would just eat McDonald's all the time behind the scenes. If anybody has questions about the real Alaskan experience I'm a tour guide that's lived in Alaska my whole life so ask away.
This show was an insult to true survivalists like Richard Proenneke. The man lived ALONE in the Alaskan wilderness for 30 years and was only able to get supplies when his friend flew them in. His story is still more impressive to me than any of these contrived reality shows.
well, they all have free government checks. Alaska has a oil tax which pays every person in the state i think 1000 or 1800 or something like that. They mentioned it in the video.. its true though regardless how fake the show is, people in Alaska legit do get a 1800 check for being resident in certain area qualifications (i checked, look up alaska governor caps oil check 1000)
Lol, ok so the only legitimate argument here is the one in the very beginning where they went back to alaska to recreate their lives, indicating that maybe they didnt live that way at the time (but on the other hand, maybe they did and just wanted to make a documentary about it) I agree with david alans' comment, ofc it is spiced up for tv but still very real. -They said they were broke on only a couple occasions, and for the most part they say that they earn their living by the boat delivery and many small jobs the boys do in town. (ofc they made money of the show but maybe they have a contract that prohibits them in the use of it during the show and that they must continue to live in those conditions for the duration of the contract) - And another thing, if u actualy watched the show many times, you would've seen that they do NOT clam to not know anything about modern technology or culture , they actualy claim the opposite, that they like movies, that they used to watch them when they went into towns, etc. etc., and they know many things about culture and movies, but are not "in" recent events. honestly neither am I bcz I don't care about it. - California dreaming - california is FULL of actrecess big and small, and I've seen stranger conicidences happen in my own life and the lives of others so I don't rule that out. (And u would think they would change her name if they "hired" her to act) - next - so they took the money xD So what? I don't get why people only think of extremes like - if u live in the bush u gotta be poor, uneducated, unrefined, unknowing of anything beyond the woods... omg -.- Living in nature is not about protesting modern society, it's about a better life that CAN include technology and movies and arcades and stuff, and leave out all the shitty things that are usualy present in modern society.
dude, discovering this show from humble beginnings is the best thing ever, ignorance is bliss, everything about this show had me hooked, the kids accents, the dad trying all extra hard, do Hollywood movies really happen? fuck no but theyre still good, this show is so good as a whole omg, and my other fav shows are rick and morty, archer, and black mirror so yeah
HAHAHHA everyone read this comment, this is the only 1st hand truth coming off the internet about this, I LIVE ON THE SAME ISLAND AS THEM here in southeast AK..... My girlfriend used to work at Scandia House hotel where they stay at every day the weather is not perfect. They don't even live in Alaska long enough to collect the dividend ..... They don't really hunt. They cant really fish. They are pretty much wannabe Alaska bums....There are plenty of more interesting REAL people out here that would make a great show, but, we don't want it....
12T90 LSD25 It's called inbreeding and being home schooled by people who want nothing to do with civilization. All the kids sound like they've got a speech impediment.
MacDaddie9 ...I find fishing boring as fuck! however; I bet it's fun to fish in Alaska! I had a few brothers from Alaska, whom I served with in the United States Marines Corps. They were crazy fucks and drank enough to to float a boat! peace!
Derek ok man, I don't buy all of the shit on reality shows as gospel...but, when they talk about the pizza place, they also explain that they only get to have pizza when they go to town...they have to travel by boat for a good ways to get to town...if you're going to call someone out, call them out on something that they actually lie about...
Every bit of this aside, the problem I had with the show is that the area they were supposedly roughing it in is about the most plush area of Alaska to be "roughing it". Glen on Life Below Zero, that guy seems to be really living rough, and pretty lonely too when the filming crew isn't there.
His wife left with their daughter because he is so foolish that he wouldn't build a bear proof dwelling to live in and bear proof food storage like all the other alaskans do. Clean game inside your tent so the blood and waste that drops into the flor can smell and draw bears and wolves into your TENT; that,s just stupid. All those bear attacks on female campers around the country, they don't report it , but the bears smell the blood during the females period.
Well. all I can say is that the show provides some escape from high production , un funny sitcoms and other regurgitated series on Showtime, HBO, Cinemax and Starz..I look forward to each week's episodes and when the season ends, I catch myself watching reruns because I am fascinated by off-grid living. You mean they never built their home and tree houses and Noah didn't invent the wheel? Love the adventures on the Integrity. Wonder if Ami's cancer diagnosis is fake...what do you think??
99.99%of reality TV is fake. So what tbh ABP is a thousand times better than things like the Kardashians who's not only got a fake show but none of them can be on the camera too long or the heat makes them melt. Give me ABP any day love the show and even though everyone says that the family ain't real cos they have money or cos that don't do what other people do, I still love watching them and hope there are many more series to come
wait, people actually thought it was real to begin with? Did they see the shoddy living spaces they built and how playful they built them? even the last Alaskans is more believable.
I’m from Alaska, specifically the kenai peninsula. I can confirm that this is a fake show lol. That show takes place in a little part called Homer. Homer is a (really small) town on the kenai peninsula and they have to be careful with the camera angles so they dont see the town. The pizza place near it is called Fat olives btw.
Isn't everything pretty much fake. I realize this and accept it. So therefore I am not amazed or pissed off by it. Their plan or idea paid off. Each person has to be aware and their own judge of anything and everything in life. Acceptance is the key to serenity. 👍
Theres levels of fakeness though, especially when theyre constantly touting "were real! its all real!" This would be like a show about midgets having basketball players on their knees.
"Reality" TV doesn't fool anyone, I don't believe. I like Survivor. Jeff Probst just says, I made all this shit up; I make millions of dollars from you watching this 39 day play I put on with people who apply to be on the show. The End. That's about as "reality" as I get. The producers interfere to greater or lesser degrees to get the ratings they need to survive, just like any big business. America has taken it too far, hasn't it? But no one argues that modern Dentistry is sorely needed (no pun intended) for all of the Alaskan Bush People! Please! Let them all get annual checkups before they die of sepsis on a TV Set a mile from a hospital in Alaska!
So On one episode I saw a yellow tie on a tree and boom he found a turtle fight there, it was weird I picked that up. also there are camera men following them around all day and the camp out alittle distance from them.
My tribe is from Alaska, we are Tlingit people of the tides, and I knew this was fake from the moment it aired, one of the wife's claimed to be this great fisherman, but when her skills were put to the test she acted like a fucking prissy ass bitch , screaming because a salmon touched her foot. My grandmother was cracking up the whole time.
Coming From Denesuline I believe you..I can tell it was fake the moment I saw them loading a truck to use in the Wild.
chloe williams , you're all class, educated too!
chloe williams "one of the wives" what?? There's only 1 wife on the show
*****
actually living off the land is way more richer then any money can buy..you can't buy Culture. the very same culture that saved the First settlers and even help built North America...it's amazing how quickly Americans forget who made them in fact if it wasn't for Native Language Americans would of lost the war....
Keith68Camaro maybe it was a different Alaska show , it could have been Alaska the last frontier
What's weird to me is that when the hard work starts the FATHER always gets sick 🤔🤨
Me and my mom use to watch this and we always said that. Also Noah is nowhere around the real work
Yes I don't actually even watch it but noticed that old guy does fck all anytime its on only say I'm sick but there's so much needs to be he's a real loser
Of course, Genius....lmao
more Fake Shit on tv
lmao
Facts his ass always sitting down
He should be nicknamed "BLISTER" ,..always turns up when the work is done.
The show may be fake... But the inbreeding is very real
Very true an married his wife when she was 15. Where did she come from?
Respect for this people
We aren't interested in your family business.
Reican lmao, then don’t watch it and stop complaining?
That was so fucking good!
still better then the kardashians :D
Barely but yes
kardashians? What's that? lol
true, its hard to keep up with the Kardashians :p
Amen!!!
Anything is better than the Kardashians... lol
I met an Alaskan female engineer in Oxford, UK. I jokingly said, it must be great being a goodlooking female in Alaska what with the ratio of men to women.
She replied, Alaskan women have a saying, the odds are good, but the goods are fucking odd!
kdmc40 watching to much Wild West guns

Yep, that's Alaska! Lol...
Shag-504, Oxford is a town, it isn't necessarily the university. If you say Harvard, it's strictly the university.
Always get a kick out of it when Billy says comments like "the kids have
to show me they can handle things on their own". Are you kidding me? Matt, age 34, Bam, 33, Bear, 29 and Gabe 27. They should all be able to everything without Billy being there. When do they become gown-ups, age 50?
And one last thing. When Billy says "I get worried when one of my kids wants to go out hunting on his own, something could happen. He could run out of food, or fall and get injured". Guess what Billy. I'm quite sure the camera crew following him has food, and would probably help him if he fell. In fact I'm pretty sure they could have a Discovery helicopter there in minutes. That's why this show is so fake.
BFT I approve this analysis, spot on. 👍
I guess you just never grow up for ur parents. In there eyes ur always be the kids. My parents especially mom is always calling us kids. I call mines kids also nothing bad about it
thank you!
Yeah it's about time they grow up. Lol. I've been bouncing around on my own basically since 18 sans support from parents. Them suckers are faking tv hard. Not a damn one of them boys are kids and they should all be on their own making their own life by now. Must be nice not to have to grow up!!! Yeah it's fake lol

For being a family that had lived in the bush with bears before I found that the season three episodes were so full of it it was a laugh. The boarding of the windows with large gaps so the bear claws could rip them off again, doors swinging inwards so easy for a bear to push in. Building of the grid showed the doors swing out so the frame helps keep the door from breaking inwards. So many small things and always seems to be a drama each episode - so much bad luck.
Haha !! You break a contract your family suffers..
Yes a TOTAL joke in every way..if anyone believes any of it..well they are just plain dumb!
If I ever do a reality series about being marooned on a deserted island, I'm going to insist that it be within walking distance from a decent pizzeria.
and Mickey Dees too guys...
I doubt Hawaii would have a decent pizzaria. Perhaps Sicily would be a better choice if your in the market for pizza.
i was spamasubied out!!! too much spamasuby
shut up! these people live off the grid. and yes, if you had a pizza joint 10 miles away by boat, you would prob go too.
Who wouldn't?
It's fun looking at their equipment and adding them up. I can't afford half the things they own, clothes alone are new
Yep true,and Billy coming out every morning and giving a wake up call by wasting 12 gauge shells ??? you wouldn't waste them if you were "Surviving" would you ? And the fact that you are only 20 yards apart ,why not shout "Get up" ???

It’s actually a ok show if you completely ignore that it is fake and a lot of the actors are complete jerks
I lived in the Alaskan bush from 1990 to 2000..... Real folks living in the bush are too busy to make a TV show. I do have lots of great video footage I took showing animals and log cabins I built during my time there. The people living in the bush I knew, were generally honest, generous and hard working people.
Anyone who's ever lived in Alaska could tell you that they are total fakes. Especially when you see that they waited till the weather started changing to build their cabin. People who live/lived in Alaska know that summertime is work and preparation time. So that winter doesn't catch you unawares
i know of bush people. they love outdoors
I’ve been trying to tell my mom and aunt since season one that this was just another reality show
But the Discovery channel peddled this show in the beginning as a documentary. This show is suppose to be how the Brown's actually live, but it's all a bunch of lies. They are trash!
Oh my days, I was hooked on this, cant believe how gullible I am dah, I would move to a remote cabin with no electricity, just a real fire n my dog 2moz, Im not into technology, probably cause I cant work most of it. Life is way too crazy now, no time for anything, people rushing about, wanting bigger houses, bigger/faster cars, plastic surgery.

Actually it's a program because it programs your brain to sit there and watch it and send you subliminal messages so that you sit on your ass and get fat and eat more food and spend more money on food and spend more money on new TVs and new entertainment stuff that's why it's called a program because it programmed you to spend money and give it to the government
Oh wow,thank you sooo much for clearing that up. Here i was,living my life under the allusion that all 'reality' shows were 100% real and non scripted.Phew,now i can get live again.

Elaborate
@Kyle Sanchez heh. 😆
Never thought it was real and anytime I see an episode on that billy old guy never does ANYTHING only tell the kids what needs done he's always saying he's tired or feels sick what's the point in shows like this
If you want to see how Alaskan "Bush people" really live, watch Life below Zero. No BS there!
Jennifer Svendsen that’s actually how people who live in rural areas in Ak live and i agree with you
i’m referring to live below zero btw
THANK YOU!
People in life below zero don’t have the time to build themselves bowling alleys and hot tubs..
I thought "the last Alaskans" seemed pretty good. This show right here however, was stupid I didntbbekiebecit for a sec
News Flash - If a show has "reality" in front of it, unless it's a game show (and you can't always trust those), it's not reality. There are producers , directors, writers, etc. involved. I remember meeting a documentary producer years ago that informed me how produced MTV's Real World was. He went on to explain to me how nothing you see on TV is real, it's all produced. I talked to a girl that was on Blind Date. I thought "surely that's a realty show." She told me that the shows producers followed them everywhere feeding them the questions to ask one another. Ever notice how almost every end dinner scene had the same mindless adolescent questions about sex? Best thing to truly not support these shows is to stop watching them, and up your traffic renting or streaming scripted TV shows past and present.
I'm from Alaska originally. Most of the people I know from there saw through this crap right away. an observant individual would have noticed that while building their "house" they were stapling the cardboard over drywall. why would you need cardboard if the drywall is already installed? fake! the whole show is another attempt by discovery to interest people in alaska. they should represent the state of AK in a better light. I have honestly had people ask me if alot of people talk with the accent that this family does. Alaska is an incredible place full of tough and independent people. remember, Sara Palin isn't originally from Alaska so don't judge us too harshly
Yes...It must be an insult to the true Alaskans.
If these assholes had to live out in Alaska for even 1 winter they would die!! I doubt they could survive 2 weeks man!
Ryan Ferretti cardboard may be an insulator but not one 1/8" piece and not in alaska. I build houses for a living. They were saying that it was because they were so poor that they had to resort to that. The house I originally grew up in had burlap potatoe sacks stapled over the insulation. I get hard living and I saw no signs of it at "browntown". I saw a bunch of nutty people acting even nuttier to guarranty another season of their horrendous tv show. If u enjoy it for entertainment purposes then do so. But that was not what was being discussed in the above video
The carboard was temporary until they could get the inside walls. I never saw any drywall but maybe I missed it. It is a reality show but it is not 100% real. They basically reenact stuff the producers want them too. In the part of Alaska they are in it is not near as cold as it was the first season. They are way down at the southern end now. Also they do not film in the winter so who knows where they live in the winter. They surely make a decent living having a high rated show on Discovery.
Captain Jim that all may be well and good. if you watch the clip in this video u can see the drywall behind the cardboard. but this show is still billed using "alaskan" in the name. this is simply using a name for marketing purposes. I don't see mick dodge Washington homeless man used in the name. they are capitalizing on the success of their previous shows about Alaska and it represents the state in a poor light. call it "nutso family that has no survival skills" or, better yet, "non-alaskan residents that stole permanent fund money from the state coffers". both of these titles would be much more applicable than "alaskan bush people". it is not a representation of the vast swath of people that live in "the bush" in alaska

@@tallulaheightwhistles same! My family always ask why lol
My family and I truly do live "off-grid" in the same Cascades forest where they filmed the Viggo Mortensen movie, "Captain Fantastic" about a family that lives off grid in the Pacific Northwest.
Off-grid does not mean you don't have HBO or a W/D. We have both because we generate our own electricity (solar and propane generators). We have a gravity feed water system and composting toilets.
We watched a few episodes of the Brown's and we were suspect right away that it was fake. For example, when you live off-grid the main year long chore is harvesting firewood. Each year we need 10 cords of seasoned firewood stacked by October and that's just enough to get us through winter months. The Browns have firewood here and there but not nearly the amount they would to get through the winter. Also, they don't hunt, fish, or gather nearly enough. Instead, they spend time doing dumb but entertaining stuff like building huts out of tires.
And last season's finale when one of the brothers, Matt I think, admitted to secretly driving into town each night to get drunk at the bar. How does he get to town any night without the rest of the family knowing when all they have, supposedly, is a huge boat?
We are sick and tired of off-grid people like us being portrayed as white trash anti-social idiots who don't have a clue how to survive or are so into survival that they come off as just plain weird. Ours is an alternative lifestyle. We bath and drink wildwater instead of treated water that all our neighbors peed in over and over again.
My Grandparent's home completely converted to off the grid in 2011. They live 5 minutes from a town and 30 minutes from a big city. They have high speed internet, DirecTV, a well generating 130 GPM, etc. Off the grid is not catching rain water in buckets and pooping in holes.
Your a very Lucky Man, hope you don't allow the Outside World to Brainwash your Kid's too much. My dream is to have a Log Cabin in the Woods, miles away from anyone. Lucky Sod, I envy you, good luck &Health to you all.
u live off grid but not offline lol

Whenever I come across that show, the only thing I can think of is wanting to cut that stupid mustache/beard thing off of the dad. I don't know why it bugs me so much but it does. They also need to get the oldest daughter some dental appointments.
I want to take his fucking beard and tie a knot in the fucking thing. These are some ugly people. The only one with a clue is the oldest one Matt, and he had to go to town and get drunk just to cope.
Charles Erps LOL. So true. I think he drinks because he has a hard time dealing with the fact that he's like 40 years old and still lives with his parents.
and it appears you have an ugly soul boy,
12T90 LSD25 if the show only had Noah. I would never watch. he has some serious illusions. Einstein, REALLY!! engineer, architect. His speech....needs a therapy and a phycologists. I admire Matt, for staying away, from his controlling, manipulating Dad. he works them and pretends to be sick. they support the family (all but Noah, he's lazy, like Billy). I could go on. I think this entire family is sad.
I think you are 100% right, the old man is nothing but a scam artist.
It's not even "fake", they still go out into the wilderness, probably a good bit more than most people. There's just always going to be a script, they're still getting paid to be actors. They just ask like they usually would sometimes and the rest is all drama written by the producers, because otherwise nobody would watch it, it would be more boring than you might think. That goes for almost any reality show
Still love that family!!😍♥️ At least they are a family that puts there faith in our creator. Why do people have to always make a crappy remark about them. If you don't like them do not watch! I will support them 100%! Thank you Discovery channel for bringing them into our homes.😍♥️👍🤟✝️🙏

Alaskan Bush People is one of the very few shows I watch. It makes me smile and I like to daydream that I could live like that one day. In short, it gives me a much needed break from reality. Real or not, I'll continue to enjoy watching. I've never really thought Alaskan Bush People was a real thing. It is television after all. Don't believe everything you see and hear. (especially when it comes to the media and government)
Les Mack TRUTH!
same as me buddy, i wish I could live like them, but it's almost impossible for me, I am not even a us citizen and even that is difficult to become
I watch it because it is the fakest thing on TV. Oh NO Toothache? End of the World. Oh NO tiny waves on the bay? End of the World. These people are the most panic stricken doofus's ever. Bear can't even walk 6 feet without flipping over. And now Snow Bird doesn't understand electricity or that you don't eat stuff in a store if you haven't paid for it. This is child abuse.
I agree with you. it's probably not fake because how can they just fake building a hole little town there's been situations where they hsd to go to town and i doubt that they are right near a town you wold hear the cars see the skyscrapers and all the machinery

i really do not care if it is fake or not, it is something somewhat interesting to watch. i like the fact that they can carry on a coversation without every other word being bleeped.
I love when so called reality shows are exposed as totally fraudulent....i'd like to see Gold Rush exposed.
its real
hahahahahah its real... i fear for the world.. why is everyone so retarted these days.. moonshiners is real to... and whatever car program that has to finish a car short on time is to..... how its made is the only real thing. wake the fuck up
Gold rush is real to an extent.. in other words, probably the most “real” reality show out there. But there is controversy. Take Fred “Dakota” Hurt for example. Him and his son were apart of the Hoffman crew during their first two seasons, back at porcupine creek. When fred bought the claim to porcupine creek before Todd Hoffman could renew his lease, discovery offered Dakota his own segment on the show. He turned it down because he didn’t like how fake and scripted discovery made the show seem. He posted a few articles about this, one of the first ones being on his public Facebook page from 2014 where he said “If you want a miner, call me... if you want an actor, pay me like one”. Ultimately, he wanted the show to be as raw as possible with out and added drama or audience bait.
However, if you’ve been watching discovery at all, Him and his son Dustin, have their own gold mining show coming out soon. The name has changed a few times. I believe it is now called White Water In A Rush. I think it would be interesting to see if he caved into the scripted drama discovery had in mind, or if he finally got a raw, bare bones gold mining show.
Basically, Gold Rush could be exposed in this same way. But given how much of what you see is real, it would be a boring video to make and watch.
its real Tony Beats still swears when you talk to him..
Mitchell Topolinsky, The only thing "White Water" has to do with Todd Hoffman is that he borrowed them money. They are a completely different crew. There has been a whole episode about it.
They still do real gold mining. The drama is probably added to some extend, but I don't think it's in the amounts you claim.
Fake or Not, I love this show. From the people to the animals, and the scenery. It's all beautiful.
Hard to fake a 30 to 30 foot wave. Deadliest catch rules

Jerry DeWees
lolll
Jerry DeWees Newsflash they are getting paid some money per episode so I am pretty sure they are using some of that money for equipment. Whether the show itself is fake or real doesn't matter. This show is about a particular lifestyle that these people have chosen. Just because you can't see every aspect of their lives doesn't mean it isn't reality for them. People have become so accustomed to the fake drama soap opera like the Kardashians and the housewives of... that they think everyone is full of shit. At least this show demonstrates the struggles and triumphs of hard working people even if the episodes are staged tv. They are actually doing discussing and participating.
Back in '88, during the writer's strike, I was on an episode of "High Risk". A reality show that wasn't scripted. In that episode, they were following a car repossessor who has just taken a car around 145th and Crenshaw. I was on patrol and saw a red Nissan NX come out of a neighborhood "blacked out" (no lights). Thinking it might be a "fresh" stolen, my partner and I light it up. As we approached the driver, suddenly my partner and I were light up. Spinning around while I pulled my gun, The camera crew was yelling, "Don't shoot! Don't shoot! We're shooting a TV Show!".
Rick Uyeda Wow, so the show did turn out to be scripted?
No script, it was what it was. There was no formula back in those days. Reality was just that, reality, until the strike ended.
don't shoot 'cause we are shooting .
Served the kids twice in Spokane WA this year. Strange bunch...NON TIPPERS! Good professional service both times. Lost my respect right there.
David Britt despite their religious strengths they lack knowledge of things like Tithing, deliverance, & demonic oppression. Crucial to knowing God & saying you do.
ALL persons that are born from above will be heavily attacked by demonic activity. Its the one thing that bugs me about the show is that they let this slip, but without studying quite heavily one will not understand this. They lack the resources to study as most Godly children have.

I can't walk around the Alaskan bush without stepping on their shit.
They aren't much "Bush People". First, who the hell would live in the wilderness with black leather motorcycle jackets? They certainly do not wear survival or appropriate clothing for the conditions, most the time. They aren't poor. Look at all the silver jewelry they wear. Most of them wear glasses. They are collecting royalties off Billy's books, he's written several. 30 year old sons, unmarried, still living and hanging out with Mom and Dad? They have some building and mechanical skills, which is good, but some of the boys are just plain WEIRD. Believe me, they know about technology. I bet they all have cell phones, just not on the show. It's FAKE.
marhlfld1 - they are all morons!
no way those boys are ever gonna produce grandkids! the youngest girl probably will bc shes cute but the rest are just plain weird!
And they pretend that some women are going to come and squat in a makeshift homeless shelter with cold water showers, only eating game, and squatting in the woods in frigid Alaska. With the brothers all skulking around.

Mike lmao. I just watch because it’s entertaining. I think it’s hilarious a show can get that much under someone’s skin. If you take it for what it is...a good laugh, then you truly understand the shows direction. To analyze the show as if it is in fact a survival show you might need to look a little deeper at yourself. Lighten up a little bit, it will be alright, trust me.
wearing leather jackets out in the wilderness even when it rains... ya im sold!
yes i notice that too
Duh!! I already knew that. My husband started watching it but we laughed at how fake it was and stopped. Case in point, we noticed that the windows in their "old" houses had stickers on the windows. We enlarged the screen and saw a sticker where you had just bought them. Also a lot of the buildings looked new, like they just built everything for a show. And that was just one thing. They fake as crap!!!
So true; don't always believe what you see on TV, especially if it's a reality show.
This was a show I really liked watching. My husband just told me today there was a TV show. that proved it was fake and I was so shocked! I knew there must have been some sort of story line to direct them into different situations and what not, but thought they pretty much did live the Alaskan bush lifestyle. I still enjoy the show. Wonder how long it will stay on the air.
I was totally hooked on the show for many years. Then I began to wonder how so many things could happen and they not wise up. Then one son was an electronic expert. Then when the father got sic and had to travel down to Calf. They all had driver licenses. That was the last time I watched.
you wanna know how you know 100% it's fake?
how you gonna live in the woods hunt for literally all the food you get and two of you're family members fat?

Should check out Northern Rez..where the Native Culture is still alive and Strong..We live like this in the North hunt and live off the land like our Ancestors did plus it's part of the Treaty that was made with our Ancestors..if this was Canada the Browns would be dealing with Native people. We Hunt and live off the land too like the Natives of Alaska but the difference is that our side kept the Treaties with the Natives. what you see on Yukon Men is how it really is on the Rez in the North.

Alaskan bush ppl are eskimos and Inuit. Not these rich white hipsters.
Eskimo means, dumb meat eater and they do not appreciate being called that. however, Inuit is correct and acceptable.
I have never seen or heard of any Alaskan Native Eskimo get upset over the word "Eskimo". Also I have never heard it referred to as "dumb meat eater".
TJ Dazed is a fuckin' tard. That Canadian SJW bullshit hasn't infected native Alaskans yet.
Same here. I lived in Alaska for several years. They don't mind being called Eskimos. They Inuits are Eskimo. The athabaskins don't like being called Eskimo because they aren't Eskimo.
You can't be white and a true Alaskan.
You can't be white and a true American.
You can't be white and a true south African.
You can't be white and a true Australian.
and so on.
You just can't. You are an invader who took others property.
You ever notice they never show a shot of them in the same frame as the game they are hunting , or the bears that supposed to be in the area?
I have seen the bears but only at night and yes they were in the frame. I also saw the strong kid shoot a Deer. Normally they do not show that.
You're nuts if you don't think you walk up on animals regularly and routinely in AK. There's no need to fake that at all, if you're in the woods or near a river or shoreline in this state, it's a matter of time before you're in a frame with an animal. you develop a defensive reaction to twitching bushes along roads and sidewalk...
Well I did watch and I did point out to my wife that on several shots supposed to be at different times..they were all in the same clothes. Now I'm not saying that maybe filming didn't have something to do with that. ...But I will say you don't just walk up on a deer...with a camera crew~

Show me proof that any of these reality shows are real... And then I'll be surprised.
Never say "invitation to browntown" again
I don't know if they are real or not. I do think the show should be called "The Bad Luck Browns", because they run into more problems than any family I've ever seen. If they have lived in Alaska for so long, it seems they would be more prepared for the weather and other mishaps. It seems more like the northern version of Gilligan's Island.
I live in Ketchikan (one of the towns they produced in) and they were such a nuisance they were driven out of town and I know multiple people that have stories of them and how they also would just eat McDonald's all the time behind the scenes. If anybody has questions about the real Alaskan experience I'm a tour guide that's lived in Alaska my whole life so ask away.
The Brown family were fake & staged?
@@Jay-777-p4p Very
This show was an insult to true survivalists like Richard Proenneke. The man lived ALONE in the Alaskan wilderness for 30 years and was only able to get supplies when his friend flew them in. His story is still more impressive to me than any of these contrived reality shows.
"..She later accepted an invitation to brown town." 🤣💩
J L U X.
The ol dirty brown
I used to take the log ride to Brown Town.
Brown town lol I gotta take a dump here's more for your brown town
J L U X to me that means anal
I always thought they were fake....way too many "toys" to be living totally off grid and not having a job..

well, they all have free government checks. Alaska has a oil tax which pays every person in the state i think 1000 or 1800 or something like that. They mentioned it in the video.. its true though regardless how fake the show is, people in Alaska legit do get a 1800 check for being resident in certain area qualifications (i checked, look up alaska governor caps oil check 1000)
@@dertythegrower$1800 a month?
season 1 episode 1 .. matt has a mossberg 870 .. $ 1000.00 ..
They were living in Oroville WA. They would eat at the local Omak Arby's a lot.
Not one person in this family had any family resemblance
Alaways knew it was BS how could they get all that money for a boat, guns, chainsaws etc
Piper8bw they work for it and if you have a own program of course they get paid??
adultVideosMadeByKids 😋😙
you and 37 other people are blind or idiot? you dont see the boys work? in almost every show? and many stuff they get for free
Didn't you know there is gold in Alaska.
You’re not bright
They're like the McPoyles but uglier
Timmy Turner watch the last Alaskans there is one family (no offense) that is pretty strange looking
i award you one maureen ponderosa, post cat transition.
themanwoaname Post dead tooth and breast enhancement?
please SNL , do an ABP skit!
they are just begging to be made fun of!
God I tried to watch it late night while nothing was on, 3 mins and I just watched QVC.
Lol, ok so the only legitimate argument here is the one in the very beginning where they went back to alaska to recreate their lives, indicating that maybe they didnt live that way at the time (but on the other hand, maybe they did and just wanted to make a documentary about it)
I agree with david alans' comment, ofc it is spiced up for tv but still very real.
-They said they were broke on only a couple occasions, and for the most part they say that they earn their living by the boat delivery and many small jobs the boys do in town. (ofc they made money of the show but maybe they have a contract that prohibits them in the use of it during the show and that they must continue to live in those conditions for the duration of the contract)
- And another thing, if u actualy watched the show many times, you would've seen that they do NOT clam to not know anything about modern technology or culture , they actualy claim the opposite, that they like movies, that they used to watch them when they went into towns, etc. etc., and they know many things about culture and movies, but are not "in" recent events. honestly neither am I bcz I don't care about it.
- California dreaming - california is FULL of actrecess big and small, and I've seen stranger conicidences happen in my own life and the lives of others so I don't rule that out. (And u would think they would change her name if they "hired" her to act)
- next - so they took the money xD So what? I don't get why people only think of extremes like - if u live in the bush u gotta be poor, uneducated, unrefined, unknowing of anything beyond the woods... omg -.- Living in nature is not about protesting modern society, it's about a better life that CAN include technology and movies and arcades and stuff, and leave out all the shitty things that are usualy present in modern society.
ShekinaBodhisattva oh please these idiots are thieves and frauds. Stop defending them.
They could have at least dressed them accordingly! !??...leather jackets and sweatpants!!?? ...please!
Thrift store chic.
The lack of teeth in this family tells me this show is real. Could any of us live without teeth for fame ?
dude, discovering this show from humble beginnings is the best thing ever, ignorance is bliss, everything about this show had me hooked, the kids accents, the dad trying all extra hard, do Hollywood movies really happen? fuck no but theyre still good, this show is so good as a whole omg, and my other fav shows are rick and morty, archer, and black mirror so yeah
HAHAHHA everyone read this comment, this is the only 1st hand truth coming off the internet about this, I LIVE ON THE SAME ISLAND AS THEM here in southeast AK..... My girlfriend used to work at Scandia House hotel where they stay at every day the weather is not perfect. They don't even live in Alaska long enough to collect the dividend ..... They don't really hunt. They cant really fish. They are pretty much wannabe Alaska bums....There are plenty of more interesting REAL people out here that would make a great show, but, we don't want it....
Of course not, they need actors not real people!
12T90 LSD25 It's called inbreeding and being home schooled by people who want nothing to do with civilization. All the kids sound like they've got a speech impediment.
12T90 LSD25 lmao ... okay I give up Daddy
MacDaddie9 ...I find fishing boring as fuck! however; I bet it's fun to fish in Alaska! I had a few brothers from Alaska, whom I served with in the United States Marines Corps. They were crazy fucks and drank enough to to float a boat! peace!
Michael Reyes what Battalion were you in bro
I was born & raised in Alaska I don't think that the show is fake there is a lot of villages that are not accessible by roads or plane .
True, that is what they claimed about their home. The problem is they are a 1/2 mile away from a pizza place. The means their home is accessible
Derek ok man, I don't buy all of the shit on reality shows as gospel...but, when they talk about the pizza place, they also explain that they only get to have pizza when they go to town...they have to travel by boat for a good ways to get to town...if you're going to call someone out, call them out on something that they actually lie about...
sykwookiee I've never seen the show. I'm just going by this video. It said the pizza place is only 1/2 mile away.
Nikki Mcnese
All reality shows are fake lmao.
We don't care how rich the Alaskan Bush people are . They have worked hard for their money
And they deserve every penny .
Every bit of this aside, the problem I had with the show is that the area they were supposedly roughing it in is about the most plush area of Alaska to be "roughing it". Glen on Life Below Zero, that guy seems to be really living rough, and pretty lonely too when the filming crew isn't there.
His wife left with their daughter because he is so foolish that he wouldn't build a bear proof dwelling to live in and bear proof food storage like all the other alaskans do. Clean game inside your tent so the blood and waste that drops into the flor can smell and draw bears and wolves into your TENT; that,s just stupid. All those bear attacks on female campers around the country, they don't report it , but the bears smell the blood during the females period.
Well. all I can say is that the show provides some escape from high production , un funny sitcoms and other regurgitated series on Showtime, HBO, Cinemax and Starz..I look forward to each week's episodes and when the season ends, I catch myself watching reruns because I am fascinated by off-grid living. You mean they never built their home and tree houses and Noah didn't invent the wheel? Love the adventures on the Integrity. Wonder if Ami's cancer diagnosis is fake...what do you think??
3:37 Columbine High School anyone?
iidiot
Whatever! We still loved watching the Brown family.
99.99%of reality TV is fake. So what tbh ABP is a thousand times better than things like the Kardashians who's not only got a fake show but none of them can be on the camera too long or the heat makes them melt. Give me ABP any day love the show and even though everyone says that the family ain't real cos they have money or cos that don't do what other people do, I still love watching them and hope there are many more series to come
wait, people actually thought it was real to begin with?
Did they see the shoddy living spaces they built and how playful they built them?
even the last Alaskans is more believable.
I think all of the Brown buch are several french fries short of a happy meal.
I’m from Alaska, specifically the kenai peninsula. I can confirm that this is a fake show lol. That show takes place in a little part called Homer. Homer is a (really small) town on the kenai peninsula and they have to be careful with the camera angles so they dont see the town. The pizza place near it is called Fat olives btw.
I felt my head retract into my neck as she said "brown town".
Isn't everything pretty much fake. I realize this and accept it. So therefore I am not amazed or pissed off by it. Their plan or idea paid off. Each person has to be aware and their own judge of anything and everything in life. Acceptance is the key to serenity. 👍
+Donald Snow Great comment!
Theres levels of fakeness though, especially when theyre constantly touting "were real! its all real!"
This would be like a show about midgets having basketball players on their knees.
Yea. At first glance I thought they all looked pretty stylish for a bunch of "bush people".
I don't care if it's fake. It was one of the most interesting shows I like to watch. Very entertaining.
It’s still entertaining to watch.
How come they all have different accents ?
Pretty sure they do it on purpose. The more weird shit they do the more people talk about them.
"Reality" TV doesn't fool anyone, I don't believe.
I like Survivor. Jeff Probst just says, I made all this shit up; I make millions of dollars from you watching this 39 day play I put on with people who apply to be on the show. The End. That's about as "reality" as I get. The producers interfere to greater or lesser degrees to get the ratings they need to survive, just like any big business. America has taken it too far, hasn't it?
But no one argues that modern Dentistry is sorely needed (no pun intended) for all of the Alaskan Bush People! Please! Let them all get annual checkups before they die of sepsis on a TV Set a mile from a hospital in Alaska!
Nicki Swift - it is possible that you are the only person who ever thought it was not fake.
Fake as can get. Naked and Afraid also ever notice they come up with a big meal door last night
They lose a lot of weight on that show. I dont think its fake but who knows.
Wym come up with a big meal door last night.
Naked & afraid is real this shit ain't.
So On one episode I saw a yellow tie on a tree and boom he found a turtle fight there, it was weird I picked that up. also there are camera men following them around all day and the camp out alittle distance from them.
