Chelsea Hansler
Hunter, mother, wife, artist, gardener, homesteader; these are a few of the titles that best describe me. My name is Chelsea. I am a wife and a mother to two beautiful 4 and 5 year old “babies”. After serving time in the Canadian Armed Forces, we moved to a tiny home in Northern Ontario, Canada. We are surrounded by thousands of acres of crown land and closer to home you will find my abundance of chickens, a mini horse, 2 cows and our hounds. We strive to live a simple country life, hunting, gathering and growing our own food. Everything we do revolves around the outdoors and living this lifestyle. I am also an artist, creating one of kind pieces focused mainly on this lifestyle.
