‘Alaskan Bush People’ Bear Brown Chops Off Part Of His Finger
Alaskan Bush People saw the Brown family as they lived off the grid and survived the terrain in Alaska. However, Bear Brown recently shared an injury with fans on social media. As he explained he was getting treatment, fans shared their concerns, though some took note of the timing.
Bear Brown Claimed That He Accidentally Cut Off The Tip Of His Finger
Fans first got to know Bear Brown through the reality series, Alaskan Bush People. Viewers saw the family survive amid the wilderness on the Discovery Channel show, which originally ran from 2014 to 2022.
Recently, Bear shared a video with fans revealing he recently injured himself. As he shared the story, Bear also let fans know how he was currently treating the situation.
Bear opened up the video sharing, “Okay, guys. I got some really bad news. Headed to the hospital right now. I was chopping some wood and it’s been a while honestly since I have done any woodcutting and stuff. And I just wanted to split some wood and was gonna start up a small fire. I accidentally missed my finger and I got the tip of it.”
The Alaskan Bush People star shared how he was treating the wound before receiving proper medical treatment. As he noted, “That’s [why] we’re going to head to the hospital now. I got it on some ice and stuff. I hear that they can reattach, so I got it all bandaged up right now and we’re headed right now to the hospital. So, I figured that I’d make a quick video to let y’all guys know.
Bear explained that this type of accident is unusual for him, noting his years of experience with cutting wood. He shared, “I have never missed before, chopping wood. I have chopped wood so close to my hands. I’ve chopped millions of pieces of kindling. And I was just chopping wood and stuff.”
Alaskan Bush People Fans Were Somewhat Confused On What To Make Of The Story
“And I don’t know how it happened. I was chopping like I normally do. I had my hand down a little bit and it just missed. [It hit] my ringer finger on my right hand really bad.”
Bear then concluded the video, sharing, “But I gotta go right now. I just wanted to let y’all guys know. Thank you very much for all your support. God bless.”

In the video, Bear briefly lifted up his hand so that fans could see the bandage. Taking to the comments, many fans shared their concern over what had happened. Due to the timing, however, many weren’t sure if this had been an April Fool’s Day joke or not, though some thought it would be too late for that. On the other hand, others found it suspicious that he was filming a video before heading to the hospital. Some comments included:
- “Love you, and hurry up and get to the hospital.”
- “I don’t believe it one bit! Browns are too experienced for this”
- “Oh no! So glad it was not the middle of your hand or fingers. Prayers for a successful procedure and speedy recovery, brother.”
- “If true, keep your hand above your heart so it won’t thrive so bad. I, too, cut off the tip of my right ring finger with a mandolin slicer. Nothing to sew back on and taking 2 mos. to heal”
- “This feels like a late April fools joke.”
- “Bear I really feel bad for you , but please stop talking and get your butt going to the E . R . I really hope they can get it back to normal so you don’t lose it permanently. Bless you Bear. Stay safe on your way to the Hospital buddy.”
In a later update, however, Bear later shared that the video was indeed a joke. As he wrote, “Sorry everyone!” Taking to the captions, many fans shared mixed reactions. Some felt it was inappropriate to make jokes about injuries, while others claimed they already saw through the joke.
