do you have to have a permission to set up a tent anywhere in the forrest by the authority or not?

Wow! Your grammar sucks! If you are talking about the U.S. then it depends on where you want to pitch your tent. If you are going to a National Park then you will probably need to check in with the Ranger Station before setting out on your excursion. If it is private property then you must get permission from the owner of that property (especially if they're ol' country boys because you run the risk of getting shot for tresspassing). If the property is owned by the City or State then you will probably have to get a permit. Though places like public parks are owned by the city, you aren't allowed to just go down to the fountain and pop up a tent. There are park laws that strictly prohibit that kind of thing to keep the homeless population from doing just that. These are all just "for your own good" kinds of laws intended to keep people on the straight and narrow. If you get the inclination to go into someones woods and "get your camping on" then go for it. Not too many Department of Natural Resources personnel worry about people settling down for the night. Just don't try and make
