13-year-old Boy Raise $700,000 and Wins Guinness World Record After Camping in His Garden for Three Years.

The teenager battled winter cold and summer heatwaves, foxes, slugs, and snails according to reports by Sun UK, and was once even chased by a pheasant.

Max started sleeping in his garden on March 29, 2020, at the age of 10 after being inspired by a family friend Rick Abbott who died of cancer.

Rick gave Max a tent before his death and told him to ‘go have an adventure’.
