Brett Hines, Father on the “Raising Wild” Reality TV Show

I’ve had a series of amazing careers: US Army Soldier, Defense Contractor, Security Consultant, Reality TV Star, Goatherd….

But being a Father is my most important job. That’s what I want to be best at, what I want to be all about.

Our family had rules amongst ourselves when we were filming for Raising Wild – no sharing of each other’s secrets, no tearing each other down, no fighting on camera (we broke that one once or twice.) [Read more…]


What do you do when you have a reality TV show…and then you don’t?

Well, you get up the next day and do the chores. Feed the animals. Water the garden. Teach the children. And you do that again the next day. And the next.

Taking care of the homestead doesn’t change much regardless of whether or not there’s a TV show. The day-in/day-out activity requires an unshakeable commitment but also bears an intangible reward. An intrinsic goodness that enriches our lives in immeasurable ways.

Wendy and Brett Hines, along with most of their 7 children, continue their homesteading journey which was introduced on their cable TV show, Raising Wild [Discovery Channel / Animal Planet.]

Check out our YouTube channel and vicariously experience the nitty-gritty details of the ongoing struggle to tame nature and create a lasting inheritance for their family in the wild, undeveloped highlands of Okanogan County, Washington.

We’re living an amazing life.
We invite you to experience it with us.
