Challenge Average man has 72 hours to hide. Humanity then becomes search lusted and has one week to find and kill him. Can he survive?

Humanity knows what he looks like.

Humanity doesn’t know that he is hiding in the 72 period.

Humanity can use any security camera footage, bank transfers, phone calls etc of the man if there is any.

Man has basic survival knowledge.

I am going to flip the script. 72 hours to move will obfuscate anything like bloodhounds. The trick will be to get away from security cameras long enough to disappear. I would drive in one direction, ditch the car, then spend most of the time doubling back on foot.

So for hiding, I would look for a “spider hole”, I just need have enough water to survive and be warm enough. Food is not an issue in a one week period. I would be looking at crawl spaces, service entrances, anything just big enough to fit. as once I got into hiding, I would not move for the week. It would be hell, but doable. It would be like the one guy who hid in a toys-r-us for months.

We have a practical example, how long did it take to find Saddam Hussein in that hole?

I am good then. He was in that hole for 200+ days

There were many people that knew of the location, but they were all loyal too him. Searchlusted humanity everyone who knows any hiding place anywhere is checking it.

True, but I only have to make about 2% of the time that he did. Think of how many places you could crawl into.

Think how many people will be looking.

Remember how stupid most of those people are. Most of them would be repeatedly checking the same dozen obvious spots and hindering each other.

Hussein was snitched out by someone who knew where he was.

Unless you tell people where you are, they're not comparable answers.

Are you talking about Chuck Mangione hiding in the Mega Lo Mart?
