"How do some of you View and Rate these guys, -or others like them, -as regards at least their Survival Experiences and Aspects?"

I think there is an enormous difference between a person who successfully survives a bad wilderness experience and one who manages to avoid dying in the wilderness in spite of circumstances they themselves deliberately created. I have a great deal of admiration for the former and contempt for the latter--and, in the case of Rudolph, Dallas, and Kaczinsky, a large measure of loathing as well.
