Lambert spent a decade as a Navy SEAL and Lone Target saw him at the center of mock manhunts, in which he had 48 hours to hide from the best fugitive trackers in the world - including the Korean National Police and the US Army's Phantom Recon Unit.
Speaking from his experience, Lambert has said could be using somewhere like a swamp to keep out of the way of the FBI - who have been
"Swamps are very difficult, mind-sucking places to be," he told
"But there’s abundant water and there’s generally lots of food that you can find. And it’s very easy to get yourself lost and conceal the trail."

"I was kind of a blank slate that I could go in and create whatever narrative I wanted to, doesn’t have that luxury," Lambert added.

"If he had supplies in a backpack, which it's rumored that he had, if he had ways to disinfect water through filtration and cover to protect himself from the weather and things like that, he could survive for a certain period of time.
"But if he had ways to gather food and process that food he could survive even longer.
"The question really becomes if you can gather food, how are you going to process and cook that food without starting a fire, and if your filtration fails, how are you going to disinfect the water without starting a fire.
