tent-dweller
Nomad under fabric
A tent-dweller is someone who lives in a tent, either temporarily or as a primary residence.
The term appears in discussions of camping, nomadic cultures, and homelessness: The city's tent-dwellers have formed an encampment under the overpass.
It can carry romantic connotations of simple living or stark ones of displacement.
