This is an introduction page. I will explain the purpose of this project and direct you in which order to read my work so that you can understand it in its entirety.
As you can probably make out from the title and the images on the homepage, this project is regarding the outdoors. It is a prepping project in which I present my version of what a long-term Bug-out bag (BOB) looks like. I will cover the essential items to include in a BOB in a considerable amount of depth and also discuss my long-term survival philosophy.
Note: This website is not created in order to persuade you to prep. I do not care whether you do or not. This website is suitable for individuals who are interested in the creation of a BOB. That said, you do not need to be a prepper for my work to be useful to you. The intentional design and practical information presented in my work will appeal to and benefit anyone who has a remote interest in the outdoors.

Before I proceed, I want to clarify what I mean by a BOB, as there are different kinds. Below, I will briefly explain the three main BOBs often put together.
[1] 72-hour bag - A 72-hour bag or a three-day bag is the most common bug-out bag. In fact, when humans refer to a bug-out bag, chances are they are talking about a 72-hour pack. As the name suggests, it is a pack filled with essential items that will allow you to survive away from home for three days, though it can be stretched out for a couple of extra days by rationing the food in the pack. This pack is designed for minor disturbances that require you to leave your residence for a short period until the government intervenes and fixes the issue.
[2] Get home bag - A get-home bag is a bag you take with you every time you leave your home in case you cannot make it back. This pack will include items that will sustain you and help you get back home. Each get-home bag will be different and tailor-made for a particular individual's needs.
[3] INCH bag - The acronym INCH stands for "I'm Never Coming Home." This pack includes additional items that will allow you to survive away from home long-term, making it heavier than a 72-hour bag. This pack is designed for an emergency or a disaster the government will not be able to contain.
In this piece of work, I will be focusing on an INCH bag.

I used David Canterbury's "five Cs" concept to help structure my work. Rather than reinventing the wheel, I believe building on top of what has already been established will propel this outdoor industry further. So, I just wanted to give credit where credit was due.

I have also used screenshots from certain YouTube videos and images from various websites in my work. I have used them to illustrate my point and provided sufficient acknowledgement to the uploaders of the videos and sites. In addition, this project was not created for commercial purposes, and I am not making any income from it. As a result, I am fairly using these images. The majority of the images I have used in my work are either my own or "free for commercial use" images I found on sites like Pixabay and Pexels.
