21. They chose a superb place to go on the lam. There is so much vast wilderness in that region

that it's technically relatively easy to lay low and avoid detection -- if they want to live survivalist style and off the land. They can find an empty cabin and hole up. But then what? Chances are they don't even know how to catch and kill a rabbit much less forage for food.

Much depends on what they want to accomplish. Do they want to just live out their lives as common, ordinary people? Their only option is to commit a major crime to bankroll their goals. Even then, they need resources to even pull off a decent robbery of some sort.

Here's the thing, now that they're out, they're totally screwed. They can't get jobs in the real world unless they alter their appearances, but they were never working stiffs to begin with. They're not masterminds, so they don't have anything to offer other like minded crooks, such as pulling off a big bank job or robbery, so their chances of being helped are slim to none. They're murderers, not thieves, so who wants em? Unless it's some deluded lady love and if that chick is stupid enough to want to help them, then she's too stupid to have the vast resources they're going to need to start new lives.

They could make their way up to the Hudson Bay where there are literally like no people, but then, again, how will they survive? They don't have proper hiking gear, much less the skills needed to survive such a journey. And then, again, what will they do?

How do they earn money and eat and clothe themselves or get a car or even a phone, to communicate with who? All their contacts are being monitored and they're all broke too! What resources do they actually have? Cash is king. But even then, you have to have a passport to travel on planes across borders and start a new life somewhere far away. Even if they did, with what resources and with what goals?

Life on the run gets real old, real fast and desperation is kicking in right about now. They're going to get careless and sloppy real fast. I see a shoot out in their very near future. And there's no point in taking them alive really. They could be considering suicide at this point as well.

This scenario really only has one outcome. It's several days on, and they are REALLY missing those 3 hots and a cot right about now.
