True, but so is any misdirection plan then, even the single cell phone on a bus.

The only way to reasonably do this is to do the plain sight/vacant attic/above ground tomb thing and that would probably all fail with 5 days and everyone in the world looking for you.

You'd have to literally find some kind of secret sealab underwater, or somehow get into the earth's orbit or space without leaving a trail.

abandoned mineshafts are also a pretty good attempt, but still 5 days should be enough time to reveal you.

Im thinking the best overall bet is to get some kind of digging equipment and dig a grave in some remote grave yard fast as possble and leave some type of air tube or something...

It's flawed but with the right execution it could work.

One wouldn't be though. It would buy an additional hour or so before they narrowed the search area down I think and dropping one phone off on a bus could be completed in minutes.


Cell phone on bus then finding vacant house or above ground grave somewhere far away from your starting point would be my plan and I'm sticking to it.

The deal is, once they found where you ditched the car and you're now on foot or in a boat, it's all over. All resources are diverted to your location - satellites, boats, helicopters, dogs.

This whole premise is retarded. But it is distracting me from work so I am considering it. EVERY PERSON IN THE WORLD is united in looking for you. Meaning everything shuts down and every resource on the planet is used to find you. This wouldn't be necessary as the population in North America is more than enough people. They could be brought to your area within 24 hours. The greatest technology, greatest minds in finding missing people, greatest everything in the world would be there in less than 8 hours though, all the while every unchecked train, plane, and automobile is kept from moving another inch. No form of transportation works because it just zeroes everyone in. Misdirection doesn't work due to millions of people to follow every path. In 1 hour, there is nowhere anyone can go that will allow them to stay out of sight for 5 days. Plain sight is the only legitimate answer and it still has a .0001% chance of working.


If the premise is interpreted like this, then yes, the premise is retarded and not realistic, so we might as well declare the submarine guy the winner or someone who answer's, "put on my invisibility cloak," because they are equally absurd answers to match the absurd premise of the hunt.

Taking the realistic approach to the scenario, you are the focus of an international manhunt of the utmost importance, it essentially becomes the hunt for the Boston bombers, only with greater urgency and determination.

your starting position is not near the graves and you can get there without being seen, sounds like a pretty good idea to me.


Far enough to not be near but by bike, take side streets/off road and avoid high traffic areas. People wont be suspicious of someone just riding a bike.

This is what I say too. It's the only way the scenario is fun and feasible to succeed in.

Also I think this premise should at least explain why you are being hunted, it would add to leverage of what we are dealing with.

Even if everyone in the world was alerted to you, the interest on actually finding you would vary based on that premise.

Its the new reality show. Billion Dollar Hide and Seek. There is no danger - you aren't wanted by law enforcement or anything. If you make it 5 days, you win a billion dollars. Whoever finds you (or whatever team) wins the billion dollars.

The best ideas presented in this thread have been:

Above ground grave
Vacant Home
in Plain Sight

and then you would end up in a foreign country, no money, don't speak the language, get butt humped by russians, or die of dehydration out to sea.

disguising yourself, and living in wal-mart undetected- for a few days- like this movie



would work out better.

Yes, like a terror strike on the UK. 90% of Americans wouldn't give a shite. Half wouldn't know about it at all because we're idiots. So yeah, we probably can't go too into detail and keep it realistic, but I like your idea.

It is an impossible task. No way you get very far in an hour. Especially having to provide for your food/water rations for 5 days.

Corner off every road within a two hour drive of your last known location, search.

Flying allows you extra time, but that is a small percentage of the population. Still, airports are a no go and it would take a water plane to even have a chance at pulling this off.

And the water plane has to be within an hour of where you stand.

You have to come up with a new plan now, cause you've posted yours on the OT and the first thing they'd do is search your internet history. Then they'd know where you were going.

F*ck it, I'm climbing into the attic here at work and hiding under insulation for 5 days.

(f*ck, now that idea is out. )
