My point exactly. Searching in the countless miles of swampland around here isnt as easy as some think.

Some people on the other side of this are being completely ridiculous. They have 5 days to formulate some type of plan to search you out. They have no idea where to start, so they would start at your house and work out. Why in the hell would anyone start searching the Atchafalaya Basin in the first 5 days? And if they did, it's thousands of square miles. Where would they start?

1. Purchase train ticket to some random location, then a plane ticket from that location to a different country, set to leave 4 days from then
2. Buy makeup and a disguise
3. Bury your passport, IDs, destroy your phone and bury it
4. Get arrested and refuse to identify yourself
5. Chill in a holding cell while the world goes and looks for you.

I think hopping aboard a train headed cross country is the most reasonable answer so far

I think you are underestimating our nations intelligence skills.

I'm not saying the swamp idea is the worst place to hide. But I do think you would get caught in less than 5 days.

If everybody is looking for you, the least likely place for anybody to look would be the most obvious place you could be.


Regardless, the authorities will come there looking for any evidence they could use to track you. You really don't think the cops are going to come to your house to at least look at your search history?

I'd go hide out in a conservatory...I doubt I'd make 5 days unseen but the 1st person that gets close to me will get beaten to death with a lead pipe.

I don't know about train tickets. But they would know if you boarded that plane or not.

Satellites would get you. CIA, FBI, etc..

I wouldn't want to be the only blip on the radar. I'd want to hide in plain site. Becoming homeless sin the middle of NYC, growing a beard, etc is the best idea IMO

What about stowing away in a big rig or tour bus? Some of our trucks have an area that one could stow away in for a few hours, long enough to get 6-7 hours from where I am starting from. From there you go off the grid, I would think you could live like a hobo for 4 days in West TX.

I'm failing to see how not letting them see the news once they are hostages has any relevance.
They'd have no clue they found you. This isn't the "don't let eyes touch you game."

How you gonna fly? Paying with a credit card? Busted. You don't make it off the Tarmac.

Using a false identity? Maybe but It's still a risk considering local authorities will probably be manning all the airport exits

I think hiding in the sewer is the best bet. However, i have no knowledge of whether they are anything like you see in the movies, where its like a huge tunnel system, or not, but that'd be my move.

USA population alone could wrap around the earth over 13 times holding hands. The question should be changed to 1 day, because 5 is absolutely impossible.

Grab hunting gear less than 5 minutes from me, submerge in swamp with room enough to breathe, cover head, use snorkel.

1.) Drive to woods.
2.) Dig shallow hole that will barely cover box.
3.) Put box in hole. Jump in box.
4.) Profit.

This. If military and FBI type services are trying to track you down, very few people would be able to stay undetected. If you go to an extremely remote place (swamp or woods) then you would be easily found via helicopter with infrared technology. Every helicopter in the world will be in the skies looking for you so that eliminates remote places. You would have to hide in plain site amongst the masses. Honestly whoever said disguised as a bum in Times Square had a good idea. Even if bums were instructed to look for you, they wouldnt give a frick even if you were sitting right next to them. Half of them are insane.



This is probably close to true in light of the small geographic location you could get to in an hour. But, if you could get to a wilderness area and stay moving, you'd have a shot. You definitely wouldn't be "easily found" considering the difficulty S&R folks encounter constantly due to the sheer magnitude of wilderness areas. But I do agree that they'd have a place to start, so you'd have to have either a ton of space to begin in, or a lot of remoteness to move in, or both.
