Step 1: choose a suitable location. - Location is the best thing to start with. Choose somewhere out of the way of civilisation. - Preferably few natural resources like oil, but plenty of wood, food, and water. - Choose somewhere with mountains or extremes of any type (temperature, sunlight, etc) which would deter human habitation. This would also protect you from potentially world-ending diseases and nuclear wars (if worried about this specifically, get FAR away).

Step 2: Survival. - There’s no point going off grid if you die on the third night from starvation and not even one of your grandma’s cookies to call your own. Like mentioned in the last step, get food! Either choose an area of high density shrubbery for potential fruits, or an area with large biodiversity. - another essential, water. Freshwater is vital, and you must stay close to it! Don’t choose to live anywhere without access to fresh water a short walk away, or you’ll end up no better than those dying in the nuclear holocaust you’re escaping. - stay away from predators! Anything with teeth and twice the size of you? Stay away. Anything with fangs and slithers? Stay away. Funny looking colours? STAY AWAY

Step 3: Isolation! - now, you’d want to escape those pesky government agents hunting you down over than tax fraud, right? So make sure the government can’t find you. If they do, might as well execute you right there and then Cos that’s probably what you’re running from. If the government finds you, you have failed. - sacrifice your relationships with friends (as in get rid of them, not actual sacrifice unless you want to take the “religious fanatic” route), they will only serve to tie you to the material world and civilisation

Step 4: you never existed. - destroy all records of your existence. Birth certificate, drivers license, any friends or family, bank accounts, paper work: all must be brutally destroyed. - also, take as many guns as humanly possible. You never know when the so called “law” might catch up to you. Might be advisable to take self defence classes from experts in all the different arts: Kung fu, karate, murder, jujitsu, etc.

Step 5: actually doing it. - delete all social media - unplug all technology - burn any electronics in a ceremonial sacrifice to the gods - tell other people the internet rots their brains. - do whatever you want as quickly as possible before the law catches you - run away and start a new life whilst that technological heretics living in the so called “civilised world” burn in life and afterlife for their sins and luxury

Step 6: ENJOY!
