In 2017, the Brown family left the Alaska wilderness to move to Washington after Ami Brown was diagnosed with cancer. Ami needed to receive treatment for her cancer, and the Brown family’s remote homestead in the Alaska wilderness made it impossible for her to receive the health care she required. The Brown family purchased a  435-acre property in Washington’s North Cascade Mountains. Ami Brown later went into remission. However, she has continued to suffer from poor health.

The Brown children have experienced their share of strife since Alaskan Bush People stopped filming. Noah Brown and his wife Rhain decided to separate after 6 years of marriage.
