re: In 1 hr, every single human in the entire world will begin looking for you...

I'll be honest, this sounds like a badass movie if done right. The Most Dangerous Game except everyone is after you instead of just a few people.

Well most people can go for a few days without food and just water, but they would catch your arse when you start posting on the ot.

Walk in hospital, pick up a night shift nurses keys with keyfob. Walk to employee parking, unlock car with key fob and drive. She wouldn't even know its missing until 7 am shift change. And with local police reporting it would take another 1-2 hrs to connect the dots and look for her car. By then I would have ditched it and acquired a new vehicle in a new city.

Assuming every single person is directing their attention to finding you, I would think that there would be checkpoints on all major highways that might pose a problem.

no major hwys

I think this is pretty much common sense. Really, your first instinct is to go to a hunting camp you grew up in? Are you that fricking stupid to think that no one else would think to look for you here? I'm pretty confident they could hire some guys who are pretty good at tracking to track you in your own woods, not to mention your friends and family that were there with you.

it would be pretty easy during summer if the shite went down while at my montana house. in one hour i could grab all my backpacking shite, my packraft (mine is olive drab), GPS. and mountain bike, throw it all in the truck, send some emails and text to at least try to throw someone off (I'd need to know more circumstances to know what I'd say and whether it would help at all), and be deep in the wilderness -- places where i never see anyone even if i'm not hiding.

i guess huge arse teams of dogs might be able to find me, theoretically, but they'd have a shite-ton of ground to cover in every single direction--mountains, wilderness, waterways.

After packing, I'd have 45 minutes to drive at pretty high speed, which would get me away from civilization, and then I know a place where my truck wouldn't be discovered for some time. I would create some confusion regarding which direction I went from the truck, make it to a certain waterway by bike, and then strap the bike on my packraft.

I'd keep hopping rivers/creeks until i got to a cave i know (by GPS) deep deep in the woods, way off any trails. drink straight from mountain waters and energy bars and other backpacking stuff i keep packed would be more than enough for 5 days of just sitting still.

i would be able to see anyone coming and at least have a chance to bug out.

Also, the raft weighs just a little over five pounds, and I'd have time to just jump on the river and go.

Even helicopters would have issues.

But the chances of anyone even locating my truck within a couple days would be extremely slim, and that's just to get to the general GIANT wilderness area where i'd be staying completely off trails, especially once i ditched the bike (whether I even brought the bike is up for debate).

Another option is no truck, no mountain bike--just dirt bike with packraft.

I've thought about all this....

Winter would be much much tougher obviously due not only to cold but tracks.

Maybe this will help: Let's look at this from the other point of view. You are the government and you now have to find one person who you know only had an hour head start and is looking for a place to hide for 5 days. You literally have every resource in the world at your disposal.

Where do you start? How and where do you allocate your resources and how long would it take to get boots on the ground and planes in the air?

If they bring in this dude to look for you...game over.
