Alaska Bush People celebrity Bear Brown made a big announcement today via social media that may come as a surprise to some fans. This news seems to go against the grain of the naysayers’ suggestions that the show is now circled by the drain. Bear Brown gushes a little over this honour but who he thanks from his Alaskan Bush People world also raises a few eyebrows.

Bear Gains Huge Following

So what did the extreme son of the Alaskan Bush people announce? Looks like 100,000 people are now following Bear Brown on Instagram. You have to admit there are a lot of people who claim that a show critic is on his last legs. So what gave him that big push in a new viewer number bracket?

Was it his courtship of Raiven Adams on the last season? From his social media reports in real time, fans know he’ll become a papa bear in the spring. Would fans want to take a leap into the deep end and follow the news Bear Brown might share between now and then?

This guy was so in love with Raiven Adams on this season of Alaska Bush People. Maybe the fans hope the two will restart their relationship after seeing how happy this wolfpack member was with his new girl. He called her his angel who fell from the sky.

Alaskan Bush People: Bear Brown Shares Odd Gender-Specific Thank You

Okay, it’s not like the wilderness man won some prize. So delivering a long thank-you is not okay. But Bear Brown had to thank his followers for coming aboard. He also thanked the Alaskan Bush People crew. Then Bear added “especially the great women” to the crew of the show.

So what’s up with that? Is this extreme son still whining about Raiven Adams? Was this a throw at a string of jealousy in the mother of his unborn son? As he rolls through Bear’s social media photos, he’s often photographed with the female members of the Alaskan Bush People film crew.

Who knows, maybe Discovery Channel hires some great women. Bear’s brother Joshua “Bam Bam” Brown probably thinks so. He has a long-standing relationship with a woman who was once the Alaskan Bush People field producer. Allison Kagan and Bam are still together and go strong according to recent reports.
