Meaning guys on ship would stop moving and start searching their ship


Not likely. Most people will continue on with their jobs and not worry with it.

My plan eliminates

1. Dogs tracking me.
2. Thermal imaging if I'm hiding in a metal container
3. Limits possible exposure to only a select few people who are the crew of the ship...and they don't hardly leave the main boat while driving upriver. I'd be hiding in a container on the barge that the boat pushes.

I'd be out of my local area pretty quick. First place people will look is my house, where they will notice my 4 wheeler gone and likely assume I went into nearby woods or to an abandoned building. They wouldn't find the 4 wheeler, and they'd have my truck at the house with no report of a stolen car to search for. It would take them days to figure out what I did, and as long as I can stay hidden from the crew on the barge, I'd be fine.

Anybody talking about moving around is almost guaranteed to be caught. You must find a spot and hide. A tomb, a church, a shed of an old person who rarely comes out, or a college campus. You need a great disguise. Without a disguise, you have little chance if you plan to move around. And I mean a real disguise, not just a cap or cut hair. A train is a good option, but that's a long shot. Most people can't hop a train secretly within 1 hour.

The swamp and mountains are bad options. Grabbing food and water at a dollar store and finding a subtle place to hide is the best option. There are so many different possibilities which would dictate how you'd have to respond.

The problem is everyone is looking for you, and you can only get so far in your local area within an hour. They'd find you in 5 days with that type of search on.

The key is to get to a mode of transportation like a container ship, barge, train, etc that you can secretly hide on and get the hell out of your local area. That increase your odds of hiding if you get hundreds of miles away and then hop off and go hide in an area where the locals aren't covering every square inch.

Honestly, pretty solid plan. Been thinking about this today if I was alerted right about now. I'm in a hotel in Philly, and not many people know where I am which is a plus, but I don't know the area well, which is a big minus.

1) Follow a guy back to his room, knock him unconscious or kill him, and take his car keys, then leave a Do Not Disturb sign on the door.

2) Take his car to a train station, buy a ticket to NYC, get on but then suddenly get off, but not before placing my cell phone on board (Trains every 20 minutes or so and less than a 10 minute drive to where I should be fine).

3) Go to a cheap gas station, shave my head, and then die my eyebrows grey.

4) Go to local tattoo parlor, and get a quick henna tattoo on my eye and the back of my head.

5) Guessing the hour would start during or shortly after the tattoo, but with my shaved head and the fact that I've got a couple of scars and dents in my head that aren't visible due to my hair, I doubt the tattoo guy would recognize me. If they let people know about some of my medical history, I may be fricked, but I may be able to get by with it for a while.

6) Still have my fake with my cousin's name as a souvenir on it to where I may be able to make through road blocks if I come to them.

7) Go to Roanoke Virginia, park my car, and then walk another mile to steal another in the dead of night.

8) Make my way to the West Virginian wilderness in a place not a soul in this world knows I know about. If I could make it past the roadblocks and it takes a few days for the tattoo artist to make the connection, I could be gold for the 5 days.

About as good of a plan as I can come up with.

have you been to middle of wilderness in MT/ID? I think i could make it.

I'm just going by one scenario from my house there in summertime (I'm there every summer, so want to base it on reality).

there are a lot of variables--what info gathering did anyone do prior to the hour starting? i've done some random planning IRL re: where i'd hide, so i have a loose plan. but if i were in a position to plan more seriously over the years, that would greatly increase my changes.

Satellites would have a hard time in the places i'm talking about. serious tree cover and truly in the middle of nowhere. MILLIONS of acres of uninterrupted forest. millions.

not saying it's a gimme, but i could do it.

I have a $1,200 "old man" full head and torso silicone mask that is completely realistic including facial movements. It's a badass Hollywood quality mask.

I would put on the mask and simply blend into society as an active member of the search for myself.

Shave head, put on dirty work clothes, carry a TB mask in shirt pocket, speak in thick accent, walk into any small store without cameras and "passout". Bite tongue and cough blood. Get ems ride to ER. Tell ER staff you were told that this guy Hector at work had TB and you were seen in a clinic that gave you the masks. You were told to get tested but you were too busy to go. That was 2 weeks ago. Get admitted. Wait 5 to 7 days for acid fast stain to come back.

No one goes in TB pts rooms. Hospital staff nurses are oblivious to most things and pts. You get three hots and a cot, and no one would ever look for you there.

For added measure, ask for a surgical hat because your head is cold, keep your mask own because you are now worried about infecting others, and keep the covers up to your neck.

If anyone starts looking at you too hard start stripping clothes, cussing, screaming, or urinating on the floor. They wont look at you face anymore.

If I had night vision goggles, I'd be set.

Drive to the river. Dump my truck. Get in kayak and hide till nightfall. Then get moving once its dark enough to avoid detection.

Keep moving every night.

Grab clothes you need. Go to neighbor who has an suv with moderate tint. Shoot him and take his car. Drive car to another state. Shoot someone else and take their car. Drive to another state. Keep repeating this process while grabbing food and water from people's kitchens. Sleep in the trunk of the suv if you need to sleep. Places to sleep should be 24 hour fitness centers or any other 24 hour store with a large parking lot. Fill up at smaller gas stations or wait for crowds to pass.

If I'm in my current location, I'll throw some food and water in my backpack and head for the woods. It's not hunting season so nobody will be out there. I'm assuming for the sake of this hypothetical that nobody saw me leave and they don't know where to start looking. Pretty sure I can stay under the radar for 5 days.

Well when the 100 million people within a 3 day drive start converging on your city by Wed or Thur, good luck not having anyone scouring the patch of woods out back. I'm guessing your family and friends wouldn't have any clue within the 5 days to decide to look in the woods either.

Agree. The more I think about it, the more I think that's the best course of action. Get on a freight train that's heading out of town and then jump off in the middle of nowhere after a few hours.
