Misty Raney, famed through the Discovery Channel’s “Homestead Rescue,” has become an icon for many viewers thanks to her exceptional agricultural and hunting skills. Alongside her family, she has assisted countless homesteaders across the United States, helping them not just survive but also prosper.
Born on November 9, 1979, in Sitka, Alaska, Misty was early taught the crafts of farming and craftsmanship by her father, Marty Raney. With a passion from a young age, Misty has become a skilled artisan, capable of building almost anything for a homestead from the simplest materials.
The Raney family, including Misty’s father and siblings, all participate in building, hunting, and farming projects, each playing a vital role in maintaining and developing self-sufficient living skills. Notably, her brother Matt Raney and sister Melanie Raney also contribute significantly to the family’s project successes.
Misty currently splits her time between Alaska and Hawaii with her husband, Macy Abilidow, and their son, Gage Raney. They transition between the two locations seasonally, spending winters in Hawaii surfing and summers in Alaska managing the family business. The couple has constructed an 800-square-foot cabin entirely from scratch, a testament to their masterful craft skills.
Misty Raney is busy filming for season 10 of “Homestead Rescue,” set to air on February 28, 2023. Fans everywhere are eagerly awaiting the new episodes, eager to see Misty and her family bring creative solutions to homestead families, helping them not only survive but thrive sustainably.
