There's also another new face this season, as Tyler and Ashley Selden bring their baby girl Sidney into the refuge. They look to improve their property and face the challenge of balancing the demands of being parents, as well as providers for their newest member. Charlie Jagow faces one of his toughest challenges this season in the aftermath of the summer fires. He must re-establish 40 years' worth of family traplines.
