Gabriel Custodiet speaks with CD, who wrote his book 'Rough Living' about choosing to be homeless for multiple years. They discuss how to blend in in public, how to purchase and use cars privately, where to sleep without attracting attention, and how to acquire one’s necessities without swiping a credit card and without stealing. There is much to learn about privacy from homelessness.
