The Alaskan Bush People, primarily the Brown family, are currently living mostly in Washington State rather than Alaska due to health concerns, notably Ami Brown's cancer diagnosis. After the passing of patriarch Billy Brown in 2021, the family has faced significant challenges but continues to adapt and carry forward his wilderness legacy. While the reality show has been on hiatus since 2022 due to a major network merger and personal losses, it is not officially canceled. Family members have pursued various paths including construction, entertainment, filmmaking, and homesteading. Some still hold onto their off-grid lifestyle ideals, while others focus on new careers and personal growth. Bear Brown, for example, has been working on spin-off projects and renovating a mobile home, while the family lives in rental housing with hopes of returning to Alaska someday. Overall, they remain resilient, balancing their wilderness heritage with new opportunities in 2025.
