Seriously, would "Grandpa's Old House that he spent the summers with" not be on anybody's Top 10 List of first places they'd check? Hell, Top 5 even?

Maurepaus WMA with lots of thermacell supplies.

My friends and family would suspect that I would go there but with a 5 hour head start I dont think they'd find me.

If any person lives within an hour drive of a decently large urban area with a significant homeless population that would be the way to go. Just melt in with the drifters of the world. Destroy cell phone and abandon vehicle. I'd take my chances on the street for five days.

How's this for an idea, shaving your head, and getting Henna tattoos all over your head and arms to differentiate you. May make people want to look away from you as well, and never really suspect that that freak with the tattoos is the guy we're after.

So you have to assume that the first place someone would look would be your house and/or street. Then people would move on. There would be a lot of resources devoted to finding you but only so many could be deployed within 5 days, so its not like they would have time to recheck places. So maybe the best play is to hide somewhere near a house/building that is being searched and then once people move on, do whatever you could to get to that spot undetected and ride it out for the rest of the time.

It'd be like playing hide & seek and hiding next to home base.

That works, but takes time and money. Living under the Claiborne overpass or a shelter is a good option.

Easily done, hang out with Rex for five days. No chance of anyone else voluntarily coming around him.

Reminder: He's not human, he merely has human hands.

That's kind of missing the point of the whole experiment

go sign up for every federal government program, file a false Income tax form- people do this all the time and government claims they cannot find the people who are defrauding the government'

They would always go to contacts first and being able to assimilate into a drifter population would not be that difficult. I mean you would have to be paranoid of EVERYONE, the chances of winning this game are very slim.

Not being found is the point.

If everyone is looking for you I think you would be noticed pretty quickly in a large group of people that are close knit as the Claiborne bums.

But yeah, homeless looking and out in the middle of City Park would probably be easy to pull of. Not sure how park officials/NOPD treat random walkers and squatters in the park.

Well considering you are going to be around homeless people.You would lose.

The whole point of this discussion is trying to be isolated from every human being on earth for five days.

Hiding in plain sight is clearly the best option here, but if that isn't viable then it gets much more tricky.

With an hour head start, there is no place to get to for that.

I could do it within the given hour pretty easily. I've gotten a few henna tattoos just a a joke before (never on the face), and it took me about 10 minutes to get it.

But, in an hour the person giving you the tattoo will know and will presumably alert everyone that the person they are looking for has henna tattoos all over their head.

If you give it some thought I bet you could come up with something. Again, avoid the whole "I'm going to get a boat or a plane" idea. That's too Hollywood and wouldn't work.
