"Hunted" - Starts Channel 4 Thursday

[Tarrel]

Take-aways for me:

- NOT having a plan may be good. Random behaviour and unpredictability confounds the Profilers.

- Don't travel in / on a registered vehicle that can be traced back to you. Too much ANPR about, even in petrol stations.

- Have cash on hand.

- Don't go to too remote an area if there is a risk you will stand out. My inclination is to run for the hills, but I think I'd go to an area where strangers heading for the hills are commonplace. You could walk into a food store in Fort William (say) and not look out of place buying a whole load of dehydrated meals, but there are still plenty of places around there to disappear into, and look like "just another wild-camper" to the odd passing stalker. (Only I wouldn't do that, because those chasing me would have found this forum post. Or would I? Double-bluff?)

- Once you pop up on the radar, you're stuffed, even if you are a long way from home. Staying off the radar is more important than getting far away. I would choose any travel carefully, with staying off the radar my top priority, preferring to stay hidden in plain sight locally if need be.

- Be totally self-reliant. If you can handle an extended period wild-camping in a lightweight tent you have a big advantage.

I'm sure there will be other errors and/or workable strategies that emerge over the next few episodes. I'll certainly keep watching.
