What the bloodhound didn't know was that Mike spent the last month planning the perfect escape. Step one, prepare your master plan.

Mike did a lot of research and discovered that dogs can smell people's body odors and dead skin cells. This means Mike had to alter the way his own body functions.
Things were about to get gross.

As the timer begins, Mike starts walking with a beach chair. He walks down the street at normal speed and heads around the corner.

Two days ago, Mike handed secret supplies to these accomplices. You'll have to wait and see what he gave them.

Here's the first problem Mike has to solve: his body will be dropping dead skin cells throughout the chase and the bloodhound will easily smell them.

Mike does what everyone does when they don't want to be smelled. Step two, take your clothes off and cover yourself in vaseline.
Vaseline stops a lot of skin cells from falling off of your body and makes you look like a walking booger too.

Wil hands Mike his old clothes to confuse the dog even more. Kaitlyn hands Mike boot scent pads, which he slip onto the bottom of his shoes.

Next she hands Mike his secret weapon... a bottle of skunk odor. Step three, distract the bloodhound with as many scents as possible.

Honora brings out Mike's unwashed laundry that he gave her two days ago. Mike's accomplices separate the laundry into three piles and place them onto three radio-controlled cars. These little dump trucks will keep his laundry close to the ground during the entire getaway.

Kaitlyn hands Mike the last item he needs for the road: a container of coyote urine.

Each person has their own distinct path to follow which Mike provided them with the day before.

Mike's 30 minute head start is over. The bloodhound now has 30 minutes to hunt Mike down.

Before the challenge, Lori requested Mike to put some of his recently worn clothes in a plastic bag to share with the bloodhound.

Ledoux has come against a few intersections and spots a chicken bone. Lori believes that Mike left them as a distraction. He did not.

During Mike's getaway, he squirts coyote urine on his shoe scent pads. Step four, add coyote urine and have accomplices walk separately with your old clothes.

Wil's car breaks down midway through the challenge. Like a good friend, he carried it low to the ground and continued on his path.
BuzzFeed Video
Mike stumbles upon several overflowing trash bins and realizes that they could be useful. Mike presses his feet against them to leave his scent everywhere. Step five, use your environment as an opportunity.

Ledoux comes across a mobile toilet. Was Mike there? No, he wasn't.
BuzzFeed Video
Time was ticking and Ledoux is stressing out. Mike crosses the street to his destination, half a mile from the starting point.
BuzzFeed Video
Mike sets up his beach chair and begins to chillax. He takes a deep breathe and lets his mind wander. Step six, stop and enjoy life.
BuzzFeed Video
Time is up. The bloodhound wasn't fooled by any of Mike's stinky tricks, but he lost Mike's trail. This means the bloodhound has lost the challenge.
BuzzFeed Video
With Mike's victory, he had the pleasure to dance for Ledoux.
