Meet the man who has lived in BC's Stanley Park for 34 years. 🏕️

When Christenson Bailey set up camp in Vancouver's Stanley Park in 1990, he didn't know he would spend the next 34 years living amongst its trees. As the park's longest resident, he shares his life story of choosing to go from a corporate job to making art and studying nature in solitude- and why he may now have to return to the concrete jungle.

BC’s Stanley park is full of beauty and very old trees. So sad to hear about cutting down the trees.

[@c-j-p]

I don't give a damn about him leaving the park. I want to know what brought him there when he was 40 years old. And what kept him there for so long.

[@llt8101]

I would love to hear the whole story. Why are they cutting down the trees? Was it really a conscious decision to not have a house to begin with?

[@madumathoory3695]

Sad very sad what a horrible story he deserves a place to live in a manner not chased away tq god bless him soon tq for the high light of his story tq

[@Johngoodman454]

30 years without a proper mattress is tough.

[@MyHandelsMessiah]

This is not something to be proud of or otherwise find interesting.

[@Simone-Bucn]

Why?

[@J.Dhillon]

Nothing honourable in being a slothful man

[@someguy-wl1ug]

He's in shape so how is that dishonorable?
