Raising Wild is a reality television show that premiered on Discovery Channel in July 2019. The show features Brett Hines, his wife, and their four children. The family has left their suburban lifestyle behind to live in the mountains of Idaho, where they have built their own off-the-grid cabin.

Brett is a former Army Ranger and survivalist who believes in teaching his children how to live off the land and be self-sufficient. The show follows their daily lives and shows the challenges they face living in the wilderness.

The series begins with the family packing up their belongings in California and making the journey to their new home. They arrive at the cabin, which they built themselves, and begin to set up their new life. Their cabin is completely off-the-grid, meaning they have no access to electricity, running water, or the internet. They rely on solar panels to power their home and use a well for their water source.

Throughout the series, viewers get to see the family’s daily routine, which includes chopping firewood, hauling water, and hunting for their food. Brett teaches his children important survival skills, such as how to track wild animals and how to build a shelter. He also imparts valuable life lessons, such as the importance of hard work and perseverance.

The Hines family is not completely isolated in the wilderness, however. They have a nearby community of like-minded individuals who also live off-grid. The families come together to work on projects, have potluck dinners, and participate in other communal activities.

One of the main themes of the show is the family’s commitment to homeschooling their children. Each of the four kids is at a different age and educational level, and Brett and his wife tailor their lessons to fit each child’s individual needs. The children learn a variety of subjects, from math and science to outdoor survival skills.

Raising Wild is not just about the challenges of living off-the-grid. It also highlights the joys and rewards of this lifestyle. The family spends a lot of time hiking, fishing, and exploring the beautiful natural surroundings of their home. There is a sense of freedom and self-sufficiency that comes with their lifestyle that they embrace and relish.

The show is not without its tense moments, however. There are times when the family faces difficult situations, such as when one of the children gets sick or when they have trouble making ends meet. But the family always sticks together and finds a way to overcome these challenges.

Overall, Raising Wild is an interesting look at a family who has chosen a lifestyle that is very different from the norm. It is a show that celebrates the values of hard work, family, and self-sufficiency. Whether viewers agree with the Hines family’s lifestyle or not, they will likely find themselves invested in their journey and rooting for their success.

Raising Wild is a series that is currently running and has 1 seasons (8 episodes). The series first aired on June 2, 2019.
