Make yourself known at the dump , run into the woods, have the whole search relocate, planes, soldiers, RCMP...then move on to the next place seamlessly. Remember they are loaded with gear, they have many maps, which was observed from the search of the RAV.
These guys are leap frogging themselves out of dodge , staying one step ahead and giving them time to get their 75k trek to the next waypoint in a few days. If it is executed correctly it gives them time to move south or sideways. This might be the best game of catch me if you can, or a live video game we have ever seen. Remember, they are gamers, and gamers play their position until they feel they have an advantage whatever that is. This is millennial technology.
