Alaskan Bush People

I'm hooked on this show. It has no sex, no murders, no aliens and definitely no culinary masterpieces. What it does have is a ton of heart.

A large, self reliant family that actually like each other and want to live together away from the rest of the world. Folks who need little, take little from the world, keep their promises, help each other succeed and work harder than I have ever worked at any 9 to 5 job. 

The most interesting thing about the Browns - other than how they manage without cell phones, electricity, TV, computers, appliances, the public school system and WalMart - is the family dynamic. Each member of the family seems to have an amazing individual skill that completes a whole, functioning unit. Noah is the family engineer and tinkerer who can make a meat smoker, hot tub, generator, shower and clothes dryer out of scrap parts from the junkyard. Gabe is the go-to guy for brute strength. Snowbird is the best shot and best chance for bagging a deer. Bam is the stable, steady voice of reason. Matt is the funster. Bear is the one best in tune with nature and is able to smell out water sources. Ami is the mother, the nurturer and home schooler. Billy is the father and Alpha Male, the leader of the pack and the Chief Decider.

I love the Browns and I love joining their 'Wolf Pack" for each new episode.

Howl On!
