Despite their portrayal as rugged, isolated homesteaders living off the land, insiders began to do some digging about their lifestyle.

While filming the reality show, Billy, Ami, and their seven children — Noah, Snowbird, Rain, Joshua, Solomon, Gabriel and Matthew —were spotted living in a hotel in Hoonah, Alaska.
Neighbors Jay Erickson and Becky Hunnicutt noted they saw the family coming and going from Icy Strait Lodge late into the night. “All of the boys have their own rooms,” Becky recounted.
Raiven Brown, Bear’s estranged wife, further complicated the narrative in a jaw-dropping interview with The U.S. Sun in 2020. She declared that “none of it was real,” alleging only “10 percent of it” was “real.”
“When I was there, the only person who lived on the mountain was Rain and Bird, and they were living in trailers,” Raiven claimed. She alleged she and Bear were shacking up in Loomis, Wash., rather than in the wild.
