I'm rethinking this. Submarine if at all possible. Dive as deep as it will go and shut it down.

Hitchhiker would know where he dropped you off. Not difficult finding you from there.

He dropped off someone that looked nothing at all like me. I completely altered my appearance. The pic he sees on the the TV looks nothing at all like me, so that theory is gone. Now, how do they find me (in 5 days)?

Got who gave you a ride would know where he dropped you off. How far could you get on foot in the swamp? Helicopters with heat sensors would spot you so fast.

Yes, of course

Not if you're looking for me in the city I am flying out of.

To JBeam, they can't easily track a train ticket, and I forgot to add the timing aspect of the flight. They'd have a day after realizing I didn't get on it.

Actually I think I'd break into someone's home and put a gun to their kids head and tell them that no one can leave for 5 days or I'm killing the kid

morbid, but I think it could work. Could have food and water and whatnot as well. Make them tell their employer that they are all sick with the flu.

Honestly everyone would probably get caught unless they are trained to go off the grid and hide from authorities. Gov. agencies would track your car faster than it takes to read this sentence and narrow down a small search area. You would also
Be spotted on cameras pretty fast targeting your last known whereabouts. With only an hour head start, you wouldn't be able to make it very far being chased by people who do that kinda thing for a living. If there was a cash prize to the person that found you, your couldn't trust anyone either.

Same way as before. Less than 12 hours.

You can change your entire appearance and hitchhike in under an hour?

Would be very tough to do.

I still think the point of the exercise has to be 99% of people going about their normal lives, just with awareness of your identity. Basically, like it would be with a legitimate worldwide manhunt.

If this is a scenario where 6 billion people suddenly turn into investigators for the week, it's kinda dumb. Plus you have the added wrinkle of "well I'd change my appearance and start looking for the guy like everyone else"

Because your plan stupidly relies on hitchhiking. The guy who picked you up and let you off would know and tip off authorities. Plus this seems as if this would take much longer than an hour, and by the time you even start hitch hiking, all sorts of people would be calling the authorities on you, and some enthusiastic men would either gun you down or capture you for themselves and just take you to the cops for the billion dollar reward.

Think mine would work? A parent fearing for their kid's life would keep them from calling the cops or anyone else IMO

canoe/pirgoue it, sink that shite and bury it under a log. Going on foot means you can be tracked easier.

Give them a head start on where to find you. Search the area around your car.

Who covers the box? A box sitting in a feshly dug shallow hole is kind of suspicious.

This might be the worst idea I have seen

Well, this time of year, the basin is relatively empty. And my appearance is altered. And I'm not just lollygagging and whistling, but taking cover in brush, moving only at night, etc. And factoring in it's thousands of square miles, chance of a random person seeing me, identifying me, and getting someone out there to get me is almost nil (within 5 days).
