I would imagine everyone would first go get as much cash as possible from the bank. But for a week all you really need is some water bottles. Dont want to use a card for anything. I think the best option is to walk to the nearest swamp/forrest. If you drive, fly, or boat anywhere you will leave a trail. You would have to weigh the risk/reward for each of the areas around you. The atchafalaya swamp would be my best option. Vast swampland accessible only by boat.

Get as much cash together as possible. Use for food as needed, and maybe shelter. Ditch phone and all electronic IT devices. Change hair color or shave head. Get a couple of different ball caps but non descript; wear neutral colored or dark jackets. Alternately change these. Take a long walk - like along the Appalachian trail, avoiding as much IT camera devices (facial recognition software) as possible. Stay secluded. Try to be alone and avoid crowd situations. Stay on the move, get on/off trail randomly. Trust no one.

I watched that show and the people looking for them had access to fricking everything.
the only way to do it is be off the grid and in the woods/swamps. But that's also not a given if its winter time they may find you by your fire/smoke. They literally have everything at their disposal to find you. Its not as easy as you all think. Can you imagine being in the swamp for a week in the summer? It would have to be a forested area with decent weather to not be too cold to have a fire and not too hot to die of mosquitos. But thick enough for a drone or chopper not to find you.

does the world have access to my bank/credit card info? If not, I can get pretty much anywhere within 24 hours and the world can look all they want.
Hiding for a week is a joke. Someone that has never hunted or fished can just not eat for a week if the prize is a billion.

Some woman here Alabama got lost for over a week in some woods after a car wreck. Nobody found her until she stumbled across some highway. I'll go there.
There was some drugs, sucking, fricking, explaining to boyfriends, and all kind of stuff going on with that. I am unsure she was ever lost.

Backpack full of water, a book, and a handgun. Dress in camo. Walk out my backdoor and walk the 140 yards into the woods. Leave phone and wallet on table.
At that point, walk 10-12 miles in and just set up next to a tree.
The bitch would be finding my way back out.
The gun is in case a hog gets too curious.

What you're missing is that your picture would inevitably be plastered all over the web and news. Your neighbors/friends/turncoat family would say "Hey, I know that baw and he goes hunting/fishing/etc in X woods. Let me go look there".
BUSTED with no reward.

I would walk to my in-laws house. No would would expect me to be there unless its Christmas day.

Wouldn’t the whole world be immediately suspicious of any new stranger who just appears out of the blue in whatever area they appear if they are supposed to be looking for this mystery stranger?

Go to the condo and bolt the door. Should work plenty of food there for a week and if bolted from the inside, there is no way to get in. Drop the hurricane shutter watch the tube and read a couple of Stephen King novels or three.

Perogue in the swamp. Keep moving.

How do you escape the heat tracking helicopters searching the woods?
Only option would be to go full Arnold in Predator and cover yourself in mud

An interesting side note. I overheard someone saying they recently got their Driver’s License renewed and they were told not to smile in the picture for facial recognition purposes.
So next time you get your DL make sure you make a weird face

An elementary first step...How about affixing it onto a vehicle that is on the move....either a long haul truck or a UPS delivery/Amazon/FedEx type thing? Could keep folks guessing and looking for a bit.
Change your appearance as best you can. Shave your head or if balding, get a wig.
No point is taking your car anywhere except to a bus station, shopping mall, train depot...Maybe a truck stop and hide on a semi leaving out to some destination.
Airport is just foolish. Too much ID crap involved. Guys saying they would buy tickets to different places are wasting time and money....Unused tix would be found out within minutes...
All of this is just to get somewhere that is slightly unfamiliar to you so you can hide. Don't want to be at your deer camp for goodness sake.
