Misty Raney family consists of her husband Maciah Bilodeau and son Gauge Bilodeau. Misty is the youngest daughter of Marty Raney.
She is a public figure notable for her appearance in Discovery Channel’s Homestead Rescue alongside her father and brother.
The reality series debuted on the channel on June 17, 2016.
Living a scaled-down, simpler life has become popular in recent years. But the initial stage for many aspiring homesteaders has been disappointing.
Many families living in such situations are not equipped with the required experience and knowledge of how to grow crops, find water, hunt food, or deal with the threat of predators.
In Homestead Rescue, the Raney family visits these families to teach them the essential skills of how to survive in the wilderness.
Misty Raney Has A Small Family Of Her Own
Misty Raney family with husband Maciah Bilodeau and son Gauge resides in Alaska. Misty and Maciah got married in 2000.
Maciah is a carpenter by profession and the greatest supporter of his beloved wife, who is also a carpenter, farmer, and homestead builder.
The pair split their time between Alaska and Hawaii.
Raney and Bilodeau live in Alaska in the summer and help out with the family farm. In the winter, they move to their Hawaii home to kick back and relax.
Her Husband Maciah
Misty Raney husband Maciah Bilodeau is a carpenter and surfer hailing from Hawaii. He and Homestead Rescue star Raney have been together for more than two decades.
During an interview with Alaska Sporting Journal in 2017, Raney shared that her hubby calls her “Little Marty,” alluding to her and her father’s similarities.
She seemed a little conflicted about the nickname and found it both painful and flattering.
However, the homesteader also acknowledged the compliment that the nickname carried. She added, “It’s such a compliment.”
She further revealed that her partner is the hardest worker and has high values and morals. Bilodeau loves the outdoors and the mountains.
He is such a kind soul and takes so much joy and pleasure in working “really, really hard.”
Their Son Gauge
Raney and Bilodeau welcomed their little bundle of joy, son Gauge, in April 2011. The little boy is 11 years old.
The homesteader regularly shares joyful pictures of her son on her Instagram under the username @mistyraneybilodeau. On April 15, 2013, Raney shared a cute picture of her son and marked his second birthday.
On April 14, 2015, she shared a joyful picture of her son and hubby on Instagram, marking Gauge’s fourth birthday. She captioned the post, “Guess who’s four today! Time keeps on ticking.”

Older Sister Melanee Stiassny
Misty Raney sister Melanee is the oldest and the first child of the Alaskan couple delivered on Canadian land.

Like other Raney siblings, she also enjoys various adventures and loves skiing and cycling.
On March 4, 2019, her father shared a post on Facebook which saw, Stiassny participating in a skiing race.
After racing 50k on skis, the business owner jumped on the bike to race another 50k in Alaska.

Miles is a professional mountain biker with extensive experience in traveling and exploring nature.
Younger Brother Matt Raney
The youngest of the Raney siblings, Matt appears alongside his dad and sister in Discovery Channel’s Homestead Rescue.
He is the heir to Alaska Stone and Log, the Raney family’s homestead-building business.
Matt and his siblings are also accomplished and certified mountaineers. When he isn’t working in the family business, he hunts to keep the family’s freezers full all year or teaches others how to hunt.
In the Summer of 2015, he brought in over 1k pounds of fish, sheep, caribou, and moose
He is a married man and lives with his wife, Katie, on the family land near his dad’s home. He and Katie have been married for over six years, since May 2016.
Raney Is Very Similar To Her Father
Misty Raney parents, Marty and Mollee Roestel have been married for decades. The proud parents of four kids have spent most of their lives in the Alaskan wilderness.
Despite living most of his life in front of the camera, survival expert Raney has managed to keep the details of his marriage private.
After the pair tied the knot they moved to Haines.
The place was somewhat risky and infamous for its high concentration of Alaskan brown bears, yet Raney and Mollee decided to settle in this remote homestead.
Father Marty Raney
Misty Raney father Marty Raney realized his true calling for old-world craftsmanship during his teen years.
At 16, he made the hard choice to quit school and live away from the comforts of a home.
He soon came to public notice after being cast on Ultimate Survival Alaska, which aired on National Geographic Channel.
In 1986, he decided to climb Denali, the highest mountain in North America, and proved himself victorious.
With years of climbing experience, he also guided other climbers. He often heads to the summit with his guitar to sing Alaskan songs.
Raney’s musical endeavors gained immense fame following the 1997 song, Adam and Steve.
