More details of how Tom Phillips and his children lived in the bush have been revealed in new photos of their camp site today.

Jack Daniels and iced coffee. Living off the grid - with added benefits! I had hoped this was fake. Now I’m stuck with the image of him getting drunk on rainy days while his children pick crap from under their fingernails. Tom Phillips’ campsite is about as inspiring as Brenton Tarrant’s Dunedin bedroom with basically no furnishing besides a broken computer chair.

    Rubbish was strewn around the site, with multiple empty drink containers, including Mammoth iced coffee and chocolate plastic bottles. A number of large buckets with lids were also placed around the edges of the site.

    Beneath the tarpaulin, conditions appeared to be dry. A small bench space had been created from a large plastic pelican case, and was covered in more empty drink bottles, a metal mug and a Jack Daniels and cola box, although it was unclear if the box contained any alcohol. Another rotting box of Gordon’s premixed gin and tonic could also be glimpsed.

    Lots of alcohol boxes. What an ass. Who the hell drinks RTDs anyway, they’re disgusting.
