Many
uninformed and definitely unaware Americans now are using the off the
grid ear candy of there lifestyle and truly are not. It inst as easy
as you think in an advanced technology world we are now!
I
have some of the major facts and ways highlighted here but if you do
this as a criminal your chances still are very slim to null you can
actually pull it off in the Modern America.
If
this is a spiritual evolutionary process as it is to many of us as
TRUE GYPSY (Romani's) let me draw fact that we are over 1.3 million
strong in the USA alone and many don't even know us by choice. Gypsy
is not the term as it is used in by new agers. It doesn't mean you
get in a car and go on a road trip. It is a very tightly knitted
ethnic lifestyle and we even have our own language we use to identify
ourselves with other Rom's. So just in case your ego wants to feel
Gypsy you really aren't.

Have Broken this information down in Three Parts:
Thinking
It Through..... Covering Your Tracks....... and Your New Identity
Whether
you need to lay low or simply want to be left alone, you might be
considering a complete disappearance. Technology makes completely
vanishing a virtual impossibility, but with enough diligence and
care, it's possible to vanish. To disappear completely, you will have
to think it through, erase any tracks, and create a new identity for
yourself.
Part
1 of 3: Thinking It Through
Understand
the legal ramifications. Be aware that, depending on the
circumstances of your disappearance, you could be held legally
accountable in a variety of ways if you're ever found. There are many
good reasons and good ways to disappear, but there are more bad
reasons and bad ways to do so.
•For
instance, if a large search party is sent to look for you, you might
have to pay back the agency that incurred the costs of the search.
Therefore, do not pack your suitcase and start walking.
•If
you're disappearing to escape debts or substantiate an insurance
claim, you could be charged with fraud and imprisoned. Know that
staging your own death or disappearance is a serious and potentially
illegal act before you proceed.
•If
you want to disappear to escape a gang or if you're being blackmailed
or stalked, contact law enforcement immediately. There are legal ways
to change your identity and stay safe in these situations.
•If
you are the victim of domestic abuse, the number of the National
Domestic Violence Hotline is 1-800-799-7233. It is confidential and
safe. If you have a child with you, call 1-800-4ACHILD for immediate
assistance for the both of you.
Know
that you must go alone. Your odds of being discovered increase
dramatically if you intend to disappear with another person,
especially a child.
•Further,
disappearing with a child could get you charged with kidnapping or
child endangerment if you're discovered. Even if you have good
intentions, you're on a paved road to hell.
•If
you have any reason for disappearance that incriminates another
person, take legal action before vanishing to protect yourself from
allegations that could be made in the future.
Understand
what you're running from. After all, you're not staging a vanishing
act for no reason. When they say "keep your friends close, but
keep your enemies closer," this is a situation they were
referring to. Know what you're up against to decrease your chance of
being found.
•If
you're running from a spouse or family member, think about their
resources. How far would they go to find you? How much money do they
have to spend?
•If
you're running from the police, the IRS, or immigration officers, you
have your work cut out for you. These are men and women who have
decades of experience and have no personal investment in your
struggle. Familiarize yourself with their tactics to prolong your
escape.
Part
2 of 3: Covering Your Tracks
Get
rid of certain possessions. You want to make sure whoever might
follow up on you has absolutely zero leads. It's best to tie up loose
ends and not fake your own kidnapping. Make sure it's clear that you
vanished under voluntary circumstances. •Destroy as many pictures
of you as possible. This keeps family and friends from going around
town asking others if they've seen you.
•Abandon
your car. Leave the pink slip in the glove box, the door unlocked,
the window down, and park it in a bad area. A thief's lucky day.
•Don't
be tempted to take mementos with you. This will connect you to your
old life, making you want to go back home, and be a resource for your
opposition later on. Your favorite hat, water bottle, and cowboy
boots will have to go.
Disconnect
yourself. In today's world, this step is one of the most imperative.
Slowly decrease your activity until none is the norm. When you delete
your Facebook and Twitter profiles, no one will be any wiser.
Investigators will be hard-pressed to find traces of you and online
friends can't be tapped for information. •This step takes
preparation. You cannot pack your bags and walk out the door
tomorrow; if you do, you will fail at disappearing. Start disposing
of your old personality one bit at a time.
•Leave
early in the morning, when your parents are in bed, or after school,
but only if they work late or do night shifts. If leaving at night,
be cautious. Stay calm; don't panic.
•Tell
your friends and family that you're taking a break from the
bombardment of stimuli forced upon you by the internet. If you cannot
do this, you're not ready to disappear.
Get
rid of the plastic. From now on, you'll be using cash. Credit cards
are the easiest way to track a person; cut them up into tiny,
unrecognisable pieces and throw them away, or burn them and dispose
of the ash. You may want to dispose of the trash yourself if you're
concerned someone will go through it. •Do not think of keeping them
for an emergency. Get rid of them to avoid the temptation. Your old
identity is not a crutch to be used when you're tired and hungry.
•Ditch
anything plastic tied to your name. Is it a video rental card? Gone.
American Eagle membership? Adios! Delta Airlines SkyMiles Premiere
Flyer? Au revoir, mon petit chou. You cannot use a coupon code, a
PIN, or anything that could be tied to your former name. Cash, cash,
cash.
•Consider
riding a bike, traveling by train or bus, and walking, as these modes
of transport don't require you to possess a driver's license. But if
you do choose to travel by public transport, be aware that others are
able to see you, security footage may be taken, and you could get
yourself caught if you aren't careful. And don't hitchhike or take
taxis/minicabs, as the drivers could foil your plans and report you
to the police.
•Flying
anywhere is probably out of the question. There's no way to buy a
plane ticket at most airlines without putting forth a lot of personal
information, including a credit/debit card. Doing so under your real
identity is certainly impossible. You will be tracked whether it's
interstate or international (where you will also have to pass through
customs). Of all consumer businesses Airlines have the closest
visible connection to NSA, FBI, and other security organizations. You
could try to use a fake identity and passport, but the scrutiny is
increasingly intensive and deceptive. You may not be flat out denied
boarding your flight but you might be in for a surprise at your
destination where someone is waiting to arrest you.
Lie.
There's no right way around it--you're going to have to lie to those
around you. It's an unfortunate truth, but hopefully worth it in the
end. •Create false leads to companies. Change your address,
"correct" the spelling of your name, book a flight to Chile
with no intention of ever getting on. Create a back-story that will
confuse anyone who starts to sniff out your trail. Stick to one fake
identity; having several will be confusing, and people may get
suspicious.
•You're
going to have to lie to friends and family. As you start coming
around less and less, it's inevitable that you'll have to field their
questions. If you are unwilling to cut ties completely with them,
establish ways in advance of staying in contact. Superfluous email
accounts used on public computers, prepaid phones--there are ways to
do this if you think it through. They may not be able to find you,
but you can find them.
•Tell
no one, if possible and necessary. Even your closest friend in the
entire world cannot know. Circumstances may change and they'll feel
new obligations to inform those concerned about your whereabouts.
•Create
a ruse. Make a long-term plan. You have cash for now and a plan for
the next 4 weeks, but what about after that? How will you maintain
this identity as you sip from a coconut you had chopped down
personally while sunbathing on the coast of Belize?
•A
good disappearing act takes work. If you've the means, start a
"corporation" that pays for all your bills. It should only
be loosely tied to you by "name" and handles all your
expenses.
•Spend
the months before you vanish slowly withdrawing cash and setting up a
way to maintain the flow. You do not want to end up doing anything
quickly and haphazardly, causing eyebrows to raise.
•It's
best not to pay for (or steal) a false social security number or a
passport. You could be sporting the identity of a convict or a
deceased person and/or the passport could be bogus (as you're in line
at the airport, being looked at heavily by a customs officer). Keep
the looming jail time to a minimum.
Part
3 of 3: Your New Identity
Gather
your resources. Before you disappear, make sure you'll have what you
need to survive. Slowly move your assets to cash and store your money
in a secure location until you're ready to leave. Purchase any
supplies, before or after your disappearance, with cash.
•If
you're going rogue, potentially necessary items include a large
backpack, warm clothes, waterproofs, sturdy shoes, a tent, a
lightweight sleeping bag, maps, a compass, and a pocket knife.
•If
you're taking a more luxurious way out, gather your cash, necessary
papers, and a few basic items of clothing. Don't take valuable or
sentimental items with you; expensive things may be stolen or used to
track you down, and if someone notices a favored memento of yours
missing along with you, they'll catch onto your plan.
Leave
town. Now that you're all set, where will you go? Take time to
decide. The world is your oyster. The only thing stopping you is
customs. •If you're considering going international, research any
visas or government regulations you'll need to adhere to. Many
cheaper countries make it easy to live for long periods of time, but
if you want to do it legally, you'll need residency cards and a
current identity to show them.
•If
you're staying in your country, weigh your chances of being found.
Make sure you know no one within 100 miles (160 km) of the area and,
of course, never frequent a vacation spot you used to visit.
•Commit.
Not taking time to plan out your disappearance, buying false papers
on the deep web or from one-eyed Fred, and hitching a ride to Tijuana
is a recipe for a disaster and an even bigger headache than the one
you're running away from. Commit yourself to this idea and allow time
to plan it successfully.
•This
vanishing act will take its toll on you physically, mentally,
spiritually, and emotionally. Take some time to weigh up the pros and
cons of disappearing, and determine whether or not you're up for the
challenge.
Disappear
Completely
Cultivate
new habits. If you don't develop a completely new persona, you'll
fall into the same patterns that made you want to flee in the first
place. •People can often be recognized by their movements, so if
you usually dawdle, walk quickly, or vice versa.
•Buy
clothes you normally wouldn't wear. If you're a t-shirt and jeans
kind of guy, become Mr. Businessman. If you're that girl who's into
hipster glasses and combat boots, opt for the polo. A new sense of
fashion will make it easier to think of yourself as a different
person.
•Cut
and dye your hair a natural colour that won't attract attention.
•Eat
different foods. If you're addicted to the Baconator, it's gonna have
to be cold turkey. Ditch your old eating habits and hit the grocery
store with your wad o' cash. Avoiding restaurants (especially ones
you used to visit regularly) and familiar patterns makes it harder to
trace you and easier to forget yourself.
•Make
it impossible to trace you. Even after you're gone, you won't know
who could be looking for you. It'll take constant diligence, but the
peace of mind is priceless.
•Wear
a hat indoors. Most public places have security cameras and if
they're on your scent, they'll monitor these.
•Clean
up after yourself. Leaving hotel rooms trashed with evidence of
fingerprints and bodily fluids is asking for a police report.
Wherever you go, make it so you were barely ever there.
•Stay
away from snail mail. If it's known you're in a particular area, this
can quickly narrow down your opposition's search. Only use snail mail
to disorganize and confuse the ones you're running from.
Tips
•Delete
this page from your browser history, or research modes of
disappearance on a public computer, such as one at a library.
•Check
your supplies regularly. Make sure that you always have enough food,
water, etc with you.
•Be
absolutely precise in your planning. Leave no room for error.
•Don't
try to fake your own death. It's difficult and potentially dangerous
to pull off.
•Find
a place where your face would fit in and wouldn't stand out. The
biggest way to stand out and attract unwanted attention is to be of a
different race or color than everyone else around you.
•Disappearing
should be a last resort. Make sure that it's your best and final
option before undertaking such a drastic measure.
•If
you are contemplating suicide, please know that there are other ways
out. If you're in the US, call 1-800-273-8255 immediately.
•If
going rogue, travel to a wild area where no one lives. You don't want
to camp in Central Park or the woods just outside of town.
Warnings
•If
you do choose to return from your disappearance, understand that it's
a bumpy process. Your family and friends may be deeply wounded by
your deception, and you might never earn their forgiveness. Don't
expect to take up your old life again as if nothing ever happened.
•Disappearing
will potentially devastate your friends and family members. Assess
how guilt over this would affect you before leaving.
•Guard
your safety first. Never place yourself in the way of physical harm
in order to maintain your disappearance.
•Pulling
a disappearing act such as this is something that only clever,
educated people can successfully pull off. You will be in situations
where it will be absolutely necessary to hide your intelligence. If
you are temporarily working as a manual laborer, you should talk and
carry yourself like the other working-class joes. You're going to be
looked at very strangely and suspiciously if you're working at a
warehouse in a rural mid-west backwater county and talk like an Ivy
League Rhodes Scholar or a Silicon Valley techie.
