TV Show "Hunted" How would you stay hidden?

In My Humble Opinion
1

Here’s the rules:

Fugitives must stay within a 100,000-square mile hunt zone.
Fugitives will be given a one-hour head start before Hunters are alerted.
Fugitives are provided limited funds.
Command Center is given only a name, photo, and last known location.
Fugitives that evade capture for 28 days, win $250,000 per team.

Location is in southeast part of US.

How do you stay hidden for 28 days? Run or hide or a little of both?

Pay somebody to hide you.

I’ve watched the show and I think there must be a rule they haven’t mentioned saying that you can’t stay in one place for very long. The easiest thing would be to go to a neighbor’s house and just stay in their back bedroom with the curtains closed for 28 days. They said that they can’t force their way into anyone’s house, and they can’t force friends or family to talk to them.

This.

I wouldn’t go to family or friends - too easy - but surely there’s someplace I could just rent a basement with someone who’s trustworthy and just hunker down for 28 days.

So surely it must be like the Hunger Games or Battle Royale, where staying in one place too long will get you disqualified (since this is real life, not killed.)

Well I’m not going to tell you, am I?

I’m guessing also it would be best to be a relatively ordinary looking person, and white Caucasian, the majority race in the USA. Any unusual features - racial, physical, etc. - could only be to your detriment.

I didn’t click the link so this might not work.

Get thrown in jail under a fake name and refuse visitors.

8

Go Mrs. Doubtfire and change my apparent gender to an old woman. Wouldn’t be too hard with headscarves and dress and sensible shows, handbag and makeup, and a big padded bra.

9

Per team? How many people (fugitives) on a team? Do the ones who get caught share in the prize money won by the ones who don’t?

10

What prize are the hunters competing for?

Can they be bought off? Can their families be taken hostage?

11

Is cannibalism allowed?

12

That escalated quickly.

13

Are contestants allowed to use their own funds? If so, I would get a credit card with a low limit (like $2,500) and leave it on a city bus. With any luck, someone will find it and start using it and my purchases will be popping up all over town, while I leave and go to a different city.

  1. When submitting your application as a fugitive, also apply to join the Command Centre team. (Arrange some minor change in appearance between the two applications …)

  2. In the hour before the hunting starts, report for duty at the Command Centre. :cool:

  3. Plan how to spend the money. :wink:

15

I’d hike the Pacific Crest trail (well, part of it anyway). That way I’m moving every day, and can’t be disqualified.

16
  1. Put my phone on airplane mode, only use to get contact info.
  2. Make calls from a new, burner phone.
  3. Only access Internet from a computer with IP masking; let them think I’m in Outer Mongolia.

No, that’s the plot of Undercover [del]Boss[/del] Fugitive.

17

I’d shave. Even I don’t know anymore how I look without.

18

Two people per team, $125,000 each minus federal, state and local taxes.

19

Start walking around town with a boom mic. Those things render you completely invisible.

Wasn’t there a Canadian show called “Mantracker”, or something like that, with a similar premise (but it all happened in the wilderness, in a single day)?
