The truth about where Alaskan Bush People is really filmed

While Alaskan Bush People sets up the idea that the Brown family lives out in the boonies, it turns out this isn’t true. According to In Touch, the family claims to live in isolation. However, while the show films the family living in the “bush,” the Browns actually live in a cushy lodge near the film site. Sheesh!

Not only that, but as the Browns boast about their extreme isolation, they actually lived close enough to order pizza, according to Anchorage Daily News. The Browns also had neighbors, one of whom shot fireworks at a helicopter used for filming that was flying over their property and making too much noise. This doesn’t exactly sound rural.

When the matriarch, Ami, got diagnosed with cancer, she had to go to Los Angeles for treatment, so many family members moved down to California for a time to support her, according to TV Insider.

The Brown family have filmed all over the place, particularly Washington state, according to a later article by In Touch. 

Billy and Ami Brown might have tipped fans off when they boasted about their travelling lifestyle, saying that they’ve spent nearly 40 Christmases in 40 different places, per In Touch. Maybe they never planned on staying in Alaska for very long.
