The movie "Dersu Uzala" from Kurosawa speaks of harsh winters. You do need a real roof, and to stop providing details about family etc. that could be compromising later.

Any authority wanting to find him could triangulate his signal. Or follow his wife when she comes to visit. Or satellite search the general area.

True, but they have enough trouble on their hands.

His greatest asset is being ignorable by the state. If finding him was important enough for the state, he would have been found, even if he was abroad.
