I would enter the airport and get my phone onto some kind of outbound flight.


If you entered the airport you would be on camera and if you're on camera they would know you didn't get on the flight.

Apparently to conspiracy theorists there's an island where folks like Elvis, Mike, Lennon,and 2Pac all went to fake their deaths to get out of public eye. I'm headed there.

Found my island today. It's small, but few people know where it is and never seen a soul go there.

You have 24 hours to hide before the whole world starts looking for you. If you stay hidden for a week you get $1 billion. Where do you go and how?

Couldn't fit the whole question on here.


Easy.. Franklinton or Bogalusa..

1 week is too easy. 10 years would make it more interesting.

That is essential to any plan, the moment your 24 hours start you turn off your phone. The problem is that still gives everyone a point to start tracking you. Most people can't get that far in 24 hours undetected without a great plan. And if you screw up once by getting caught on a camera somewhere that narrows your window a lot more.


Don't turn off the phone, place phone in a plastic bag, wrap the whole thing up with electrical tape attaching a couple of those small super strong magnets. Go to a truck stop slap the phone to truck fueling up, since it is likely to be leaving soon. Could buy a little to a lot of time until they figure out its not you on the move. Does not matter if you are on security video doing it, by the time they get to that you are long gone from the area.

Everyone saying to hide in the woods would be found very quickly. There's enough helicopters with thermal cameras to cover the entire US in a couple of days. They would likely have a pretty good idea (within a couple hundred miles) of where you are, so they will cover that area in no time. You'll stick out like a sore thumb in the woods by yourself


Eric Rudolph the Olympic Park Bomber evaded the FBI and other law enforcement for 5 years while hiding in the Appalachian wilderness. And don't forget that the FBI looked for the Uni-bomber for 20 years and would likely have never found him had his brother not tipped them off. Despite what you see on TV, law enforcement is not very good at finding reasonable bright people that don't want to be found, most people on the most wanted list have been on it for years and some decades.

A week is easy. You don't need a remote location. I could be pretty damn uncomfortable for a week for a billion dollars. Just take some food that makes you constipated, water and pillow and get in the ductwork of a vacant building. Piss in bottles and hold in shite

The toughest thing is transportation. How are you getting there? You can't just park your vehicle outside some wilderness and start walking. No vehicle connected to you, no credit/debit card so even if no cameras you have to go inside to get gas, no flying, no renting, no train. Stealing a car is gonna get you busted.

Your best bet may be to buy an old truck (no computer, gps, satellite radio, etc) with a 100 gallon bulk tank and fill it up immediately. Do it at the nearest you find for sale from your house, but opposite direction you are ultimately going

But still you have to get the vehicle somewhere unseen/unremembered along the way and hidden without a trace. That is tough

(Also, You might be tempted to go to a rest area or something, find someone clearly traveling across the country the opposite direction of you and duct tape your phone hidden up under their vehicle. But, they will probably be found very quickly, and with the resources of the entire world looking for you it doesn't buy you anything. Just leave the phone and credit cards etc at home)

It depends on who is looking for me. If it's an organization world wide, I would need to find out where they are not as active, etc.

If it's just one person, I would hide out close to my house, after they come look for me there, I would go back home.. Boom.. $1B

I would call the people putting up 1 billion and ask to settle for $50 million than I don’t need to run and they don’t need to chase

24 hrs is not much of a head start. But.......

My son is an Eagle Scout and I have gone on several week long hiking/camping trips.

I would take $500 cash (from my house) load up my super lightweight hiking gear on the back of my street legal dirt bike and ride as far as I can in 24 hrs. Toss the bike in a lake and hike into the woods.

You don’t need water. You can purify any water with tablets. You also need minimal food for a week. I have survived on less than 1000 calories a day for a week. You can hold that much in a small backpack with trail mix and beef jerky.

It would be very easy to establish a good high location that would give you good sight lines of the incoming trail traffic and you just move at night. When we hiked out west, we did not see another person for 4 days once we got about 50 miles from the nearest trailhead.

Hiding for 7 days would be VERY easy. Hiding for more than 2 weeks would be almost impossible.

I agree. Sorry about my misconfusion.

I meant impossible for a city boy like me. Not for someone who is trained to live in the woods or who has chosen to live there for years.
