Hey Sup Forums hypothetically, how would one disappear for a while?

Hey Sup Forums hypothetically, how would one disappear for a while?
Say to hid from the Russian Mafia, FBI, doesn't matter.

To start, I'd withdraw all the cash I have to my name, $5,000 give or take.
Get rid of cell phone, computer, anything electronic that can be traced.

But then what?

Cabin in the woods? Pretend to be a homeless man in the city?
How would one travel inconspicuously? Avoiding security cameras and whatnot?

I'm just curious, but humor me Sup Forums what would you anons do to disappear?

I've thought about it myself a fair bit so I'll give you a run down of something similar that happened to me a few years back

>18 y/o senior in high school
>in the span of three months, gain and lose first gf
>only girl who has ever shown interest in me
>feelsbadman.jpg
>last night, listening to 80's mix on youtube
>feeling risque and risk a tug on the ol' dingdong
>go to newgrounds and play a porn game
>dear lord I'm autistic
>do the do and finish my business
>sitting in the aftermath, looking at the pixels that I just fapped to
>Somebody to Love by Queen starts playing
>cry for quite a while
>just realised i got first post best post
>instantly cheer up

That's not at all related to what I was talking about

Grab cash, take trains, hitchike and get to big city back east and vanish in a chinatown, paying cash and working for board.

Depends the level of shit you're running away from. If it's full-on serious though, there's always the French Foreign Legion.
Other than that, just go bush and live off the land.

>uninstall windows
>install linux
>be invisible forever

you can also spy on girls like in the jap porn now

Mr. Robot?

I would first off go to Europe using my passport and traceable info
Once in Europe would buy/steal shitty car and drive around Europe and make money off of odd jobs and stealing.
If still being chased after 2 months of that crap I'd change my appearance and prints
Get a shitty job and live for as long as possible off my changed Identity.
I left a lot of kinks in the total experience but, I aint running any time soon. I chose europe because it has quick access to Africa and Asia so if I really need to travel far I could.

How long? $5k would keep you hid for 6 months if you want to hang out eating pizza and playing Xbox in Appalachia.

I don't know, long enough for whoever is looking for you to give up.
6 months would probably be an adequate amount of time.

Take bag of survival shit I've been stockpiling for two years, now.
Take bag of miscreant tools.
Fuck off to state park.
Ideally steal someones old car.
Live in state park to North.
Build (semi) underground shelter at night at least a mile off the trail resembling early Northern European Settlements.
Hunt small game.
Return to civilization after two weeks - two months, or when I run out of .22lr
Maybe steal more and continue to live in woods.
Maybe come back to town and find out what happened while I was gone.
Maybe stake-out my place for FBI/Mafia types to shoot/loot.
Depends on the end goal.

We'll get me a list of games you want to play and jump on a plane.

Lol, the fuck is this guy going on about

Realistically probably get shot trying to steal someones car or blindsided by some similar shit.
Life fucks with your plans.
Everything I wrote was loose.

Do you have any handyman skills? I have a building that would make a great crash pad but it needs to be hooked up to the electric in the main house....dig trench run cable etc

Wear a synthetic human face mask.

There's this brand of sunglasses being kickstarted that keeps you hidden from cameras, but I'm pretty sure there's just reflective tape on the rims and all, that should help with cameras at night. The NV will flare right up and your face'll be masked by it.

>be me
>single divorced father
>Finally finished Christmas shopping for my kids this year, ex-wife agrees to let me have them this year for Christmas
>Wrapping presents while listening to old Christmas jingles
>Wife took everything, I never get to see my kids without permission, she robbed my bank account so these "gifts" are basically ten dollar toys but it's all I could afford after child support and alimony
>I smile as I wrap the first gift, but think about the kids opening them and the disappointment on their faces when "Christmas" is a few Wal-Mart toys that I managed to scrap up for
>Grab another beer because I live alone and since no one can judge my drinking, why not since it covers up the pain anyways
>As I finish wrapping the last of the 8 toys I was able to buy, I burst into tears. The reality of my life weighs in like never before. In the last box, a gift to both of them, I write a letter
>hoping daddy's love will make up for my inability to provide a great Christmas
>Note says: Daddy always loves you and he will forever. I hope this was a great Christmas for you. I did my best!
>Soul shattering emptiness wracks my body and I grab the only bottle of liquor I own, I was saving it for if something special ever happened
>I put the toys under the tree, the kids will be here tomorrow and they already know Santa doesnt exist so I want to build up the suspense by having them hope these "big boxes" are something nice but they're reallly just cheap toys.

This guy's going to kill you and bury you under said shed. Oh, and steal your money too.

Theres a dude in Southern California that did this.
He lives in the san gabriel mountains and travels around, has built some cool shelters and stuff far away from people. He's been living out there over a decade.

Fast forward to 13mins in this video..one of his shelters he lived in for 4 years.

Dude...I just am sick of playing Xbox by myself and I need help finishing my new shed. Fuckn cynical around here!

Central America. While it's illegal and you will get sent home if caught, lots of people move freely from one country to another without registering their passports. Mostly done along the coast at night, but you can move between, say Belize and Guatemala by boat in less than fifteen minutes. Basically the amount of time it takes to push out to sea and come back again. Bonus points, you're in Belize.

>fuckn harsh
important to share so other people can learn just how important it is to marry a sane woman.

kek

Interesting thread.

Or pull an Ed Gein.

fuckin' A

it's all so tiresome

Ok so my plan so far

>Phone and computer go in the fireplace
>Pack essentials in backpack, some food, hunting supplies, some clothes
>Go to the bank, withdrawal all my money in cash
>Hitchhike north to mountains
>Be sure to wear hat/glasses at all times and avoid cameras
>Get to mountains, build shelter way off trail and live off land for as long as I can

No bad

Barely any current-gen games other than Smash are fun splitscreen.

Stop trying to murder people, you stinking murderer.

So you want to go to a bank that has more cameras than any place you'd be going, while using a card that is linked to your identity, only to spend it on literally nothing in the mountains?

Live off the land for as long as you can? That shit gets pretty tiresome pretty fast. There's a few guys that can live with that but not many. Not talking two weeks but maybe 10 -12 months at a time.

Actual anarchist revolutionary here. The way to "disappear" today is to hide in a crowd. I don't know if you're aware of this, but every square inch of forest is eventually logged, and logging companies don't want people getting squatters' rights, so they do regular patrols from the air with FLIR looking for cabins and other shelters. You might get anywhere from six months to two years in any given spot, but you'll eventually get a visit from the police.

If you want to stay below the radar, you need to be in a place crowded enough that there's too much data for them to sift through. It doesn't matter how many times they have you on film if they have no idea what they're looking for.

You should also avoid being a "loner," which is instantly suspicious. Have friends, go to parties, hold a boring job, and no one will know they're supposed to be suspicious of you.

One thing in particular I should note. In 25 years of direct action, I've worn handcuffs precisely once, and that was because I didn't listen to my instincts when they said the situation didn't feel right. I've stayed free because I am extremely conservative. If the situation calls for it, I'll break any law in the book, but otherwise I don't take stupid risks. I don't jaywalk, I return my library books on time, and I smile and nod at police officers. And I never, ever say or do anything on my computer I wouldn't be prepared to stand up in court and defend in front of a judge -- because some day I might have to. That includes this comment. I just assume that everything I say or do is being monitored at all times. (I found a bug in my apartment a few years ago, so I know they're keeping tabs on me.)

Well this is at the very beginning.

Say hypothetically: I snitch on some Russian mobsters (not that I'm a snitch) and they are going to jail. But they have some guys coming after me. They know my name and that's it.
That gives me like a couple hours head start. So I can go to the bank in the first few hours, but then try to disappear after.
The money is used for emergencies. If I run out of supplies, I can use it if necessary, as long as I stay unnoticed. Think Walter White in his New Hampshire cabin in the end of Breaking Bad.
Yeah, I agree, that's why I was also thinking the city route, cash everything, change my appearance as best I can, live squatting or as a bum on the street, but always avoiding being seen or using my name or anything.

Sounds like some Jason Bourne shit but I agree, I feel monitored all the time. Im done with social media, Credit cards and any electronic device. Quit drinking and smoking, spend most of my free time traveling, I ve made several friends in different places meaning ill be easy to dissapear in case I dont feel safe anymore.

You could probably just get to venice beach in L.A. then get a banjo and hang out on the streets for a few years. Anywhere sparsey populated with weather that isn't pretty damn perfect is gonna be tough, as you would need a fake identity to get a lease, or a drivers license.

So you basically permanently disappeared?
I was thinking more of a temporary thing.
But permanent disappearance is also interesting. That would involve fake identities and what not. An interesting experiment for sure.
Are you an American or from elsewhere, if you can answer at all

Oh, I haven't disappeared, I just keep a low profile. True story, I changed cities a while back when I got tired of looking over my shoulder all the time (I organized the copwatch program, so I was no well-loved by the boys in blue). First few weeks I was there, I attended a small protest at the local detachment of the federal police. I wore a balaclava to stay incognito... and the police greeted me by my first name. That tells me (a) they keep tabs on me, (b) they alerted the police in the city I moved to, and (c) they want me to know it.

You won't live off the land. Not for a day. Do you know how much "small game" you'd have to process to get enough calories just to break even after wandering around the woods looking for said game? Do you have any concept of what 1600 calories of edible plants looks like? Or how long it would take to gather them up? Do you even know which plants are calorie-dense enough to give you back the energy to took to find them?

If you brought 3 months of food with you, camped next to an active lake and harvested small game every day you might be able to stretch 3 months to 4. Maybe. If you experience a miracle.

True that, I want some new good split screen action!

Buy a grade A gas mask and a HAZMAT suit, and live in the sewers

Watch every season of Man vs Wild and then go out in your backyard and pretend you got lost at sea and have to survive. Only aloud to bring tent a and knife with you. Stay outside for as long as you can. Post vids, start YouTube trend, and become YouTube star.

Backcountry backpacker here.
He speaks the truth.

Learn to survive in the wilderness. If I were to go right now, I would pack an AR-15, 1911, a few hunting knives, a backpack, canned food for a week, a zippo lighter, compass, something like charcoal to purify water (luckily I have filters), a pot, a waterproof flashlight and batteries, plastic wrap, tin foil, a small first aid kit, and a sleeping bag. You're on the right track with the computer part. Get rid of all of that stuff. If you still have room in your bag after putting in the stuff I mentioned above, toss in 2 or 3 good books. I can say from personal experience that it get's lonely out there.

You have bigger things to worry about like IntelME which is like having a tiny computer in your CPU that runs independently 24/7, without your knowledge. It has full TCP/IP stack and memory access and can phone home to Intel whenever it wants to. It has Ring-0 access which is very, very bad. So if you haven't installed Libreboot and disabled the IntelME micro controller, you're backdoored below the BIOS. Now stop playing 1337 haxx0r and go to bed.

Kek.

Except South American countries are absolute hell holes where the quality of life is -5/10. Unless you've grown up there and built up an immunity to all of their diseases, you'll be dead in 6 months (unless the gangs behead you sooner).

Travel to another country, go under a new name and get a fake birth certificate in that country (along with anything like a Social Security number), burn your visa once everything is secure.

You won't be 'Mr. user' anymore, now you'll be 'Jimmey Crackerjack, English born chap who lived in dublin his whole life'
