A MAN and his partner have revealed how they deal with being homeless living in a tent in the forest.
The man who goes by Fullestness on social media shared what it’s like to live on the outskirts of society.
Despite being homeless, the pair do work, with the man revealing he currently works in a hotel as a cook.
In the clip, he could be seen placing left over food into a clean bin bag before taking it back to his tent with him.
The list of food included scrambled egg, potatoes and sausage patties, and he managed to grab so much his food bag didn’t even close.
He said: “Me making time to cook is difficult.
“Having food that’s already cooked and everything is such a luxury.”
As the food was already cooked the couple just had to use their camp gas stove to warm it back up for a quick and hot meal.
But he revealed he hadn’t told work about his living situation as he was worried he would be seen as a ‘liability’ and get fired.
In another clip, he showed off the tent where the pair live which includes cushioned matts for them to sleep on, a rug to keep the floor comfy and plenty of storage for their clothes and shoes.
However parts of their tent seemed to be decaying as he showed the raccoon hole that had been made in the corner that needed patching up.
It seems the pair are still living in the tent while trying to figure out a more permanent living situation.
The clip posted to her TikTok account @fullestness went viral with over 26 million views and 1.6 million likes.
People were quick to take to the comments and share their thoughts.
One person wrote: “The fact that places throw away food instead of feeding the employees is what needs to change, we gotta stop enforcing stupid ass rules that harm humanity.”
Another commented: “You guys are gonna make it!!!”
Living in a tent in England is subject to various regulations and considerations, particularly regarding land ownership, local bylaws, and environmental protections. Here are some key points to be aware of:
Land Ownership and Permission
Private Land: If you wish to pitch a tent on private land, you must obtain permission from the landowner. Unauthorised camping on private property can be considered trespassing.
Public Land: Camping on public land is generally not allowed without specific permission. This includes parks, commons, and other public spaces.
National Parks and Protected Areas: Some national parks and protected areas may have designated camping spots where you can pitch a tent. However, wild camping (camping outside of designated areas) is generally not permitted without prior approval.
Legal Restrictions
Trespassing: Camping without permission on private or public land can result in being asked to leave by the landowner or authorities. In some cases, legal action could be taken against you for trespassing.
Local Bylaws: Different regions may have specific bylaws that regulate camping. It’s important to check local regulations before setting up a tent.
Duration: Even with permission, there may be restrictions on how long you can stay in one location. Prolonged stays might require planning permission or could be subject to other regulations.
Environmental Considerations
Leave No Trace: Always follow the “Leave No Trace” principles to minimise your environmental impact. This includes packing out all rubbish, minimising campfire impact, and respecting wildlife.
Protected Species and Habitats: Be aware of protected species and habitats, and avoid disturbing them. Certain areas may have restrictions to protect wildlife.
Practical Considerations
Facilities: Living in a tent long-term requires access to basic facilities such as water, sanitation, and waste disposal. Ensure you have a plan for these necessities.
Weather: The weather in England can be unpredictable. Make sure your tent is suitable for the conditions and that you are prepared for rain, wind, and cold temperatures.
Alternatives
If you’re considering living in a tent for an extended period, you might explore alternatives such as:
Campsites: Many campsites offer long-term pitches with facilities like showers, toilets, and sometimes even electricity.
Glamping Sites: Some glamping sites offer more permanent tent structures with additional amenities.
While it is possible to live in a tent in England, it requires careful planning and adherence to legal and environmental regulations. Always seek permission from landowners, check local bylaws, and ensure you have the necessary resources and facilities to support your stay.
“Keep that on the hush, dude you’re posting this on the WORLD WIDE WEB,” penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: “Why are people hating? He’s literally reducing food waste??”
“Bro just be honest. Ask. can I take the left over food if that’s okay? just ask,” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “Are you saving up to buy a house? Genuinely asking.”
