Remember that he had a large number of people who agreed with his position and were willing to support his efforts to evade capture. I recall reading an article soon after the capture in which some survival guru (I think it was Tom Brown) visited the camp and deduced that Rudolph had not spent as much time there as he claimed. The deduction was based upon such things as the depth of coals in the firepit, amount/age of debris in the garbage pit, and wear patterns on vegetation / paths.

This leads one to wonder just how much time Rudolph spent in the woods at all, as opposed to bunking with one of his supporters. Since this could lead to an obstruction charge against anyone who harboured him, it's not likely Rudolph will tell because - whether you agree with him or not - he sure seems to live by his own moral code.
