'Alaskan Bush People' 's Brown Family Return to Their Roots on Camping Trip: 'Just Like Old Times'

After decadesliving in the Alaskan bush, startinga new life in Washington Statehas been an adjustment for the Brown family — but now, they’re going back to their roots.

In PEOPLE’s exclusive sneak peek at Sunday’s episode ofAlaskan Bush People, the family heads out on a camping trip. While roasting blackbird hot dogs on an open fire ahead of their buffalo hunt, they begin reminiscing about the good old days.

“Camping with the family and being under the stars, it brings me back to when I was a little guy,” says Billy and Ami’s daughter Bird, 24. “On all of our hunts, Dad would go out and we’d be like, ‘I wonder if he’s going to get something!’ And then we’d hear a shot in the distance.”

Her brother Bear, 31, is equally nostalgic.

And patriarch Billy, 66, wants to make the trip a yearly tradition.

“Man, looking around makes me feel so good,” he says. “After sitting in the city for almost a year, really thinking that we weren’t going to have that lifestyle again, it’s made the lifestyle even more important. I think all of us, we just want to get back to who we are.”

The Brownspermanently relocatedcloser to civilization, buying a 435-acre property in the North Cascade Mountains of Washington State, so that matriarch Ami, 55, could continue to receive treatment following herlung cancer diagnosis. Though she’s nowin remission, she and Billy fly back to Los Angeles every three months for her checkups.
