Some of you are probably asking, “What in the world is an INCH bag?” Most survival sites focus on everyday carry bags and bug out bags, but it’s a good idea to have an INCH bag as well. It stands for, “I’m Never Coming Home.”
An INCH bag is the ultimate end-of-the-world bag, the kind of bag you’d want to have if you were heading to the hills during a Red Dawn type disaster. Whereas bug out bags are usually designed to last you about 72 hours, INCH bags are packed with tools that will help you sustain yourself indefinitely.
In this video, The Survival Outpost shows you what kind of bag he’s using for his INCH bag, what items he put inside it, and why he chose those particular items. This video is a great starting point for anyone interested in having a kit that will truly get them through the end of the world as we know it.

Oh HELL no.
You need to just joint the military and get it over with. Are you surviving or planning a one man invasion? What is with all the camouflage and military type gear? You may as well talk about zombies to lend to your credibility.
Join the military, you might just get a wealth of practical knowledge along the way.
Those three books are truly idiotic choices -yeah, all three of them. The SAS survival book is close to being the right book, but seriously, what a waste of choices.
And I would agree completely with everything RC has said. Except I *think* he’s trying to say your boots should not be waterproof -which they shouldn’t be.
A lot of acronyms used and assumptions that your views know what you’re talking about. Which means you don’t know your target audience. For instance, I know what you’re talking about, but I’m experienced, a novice however (who you’re actually targeting) does not know what you speak of.
It’s a start…
It’s sure missing some gear/items…
I am doubting it has been seriously tested…
You are missing the importance of the last ditch kit…
I am doubting your boots are not waterproof…
Like I said, anyone who wants to build an “INCH” bag could certainly use this as a baseline for starting.
All good choices and planning I think. Someone mentioned a sewing kit, yes, and I also
would pick those same three books! But too few guys are getting info out for the whole family!
Wives and kids are the treasure we are working to preserve. They can and want to help also.
Good video. I don’t know if I missed it but you need a repair kit for clothing. i.e. Needles, thread, buttons…etc
Didn’t watch. I prefer things that I can print out and review rather than the videos. Thumb down.
Exactly like ultimate prepper said. Try less videos and more written information, we are not that dumb that we are not able to read a few lines…
Just got through watching the video and I thought it was great !!!!! I think your mindset and thought process is spot on. I am a paramedic and police officer. I am 53 y/o and I still workout on a regular basis. I run 3 miles 3 or 4 days a week. I think that is absolutely essential. Because you’re correct. These people that think they can grab a BOB that weighs even 30 or 40lbs and escape, much less an INCH bag that weighs 75lbs are in for a rude awakening!!!! Also, I think its great getting out there and camping and trying out your gear. I love camping anyway. Also, I make sure I have some kind of emergency bag with me any time I go somewhere in a vehicle. And my EDC is a glock 19. My favorite part about your INCH bag review was the books. Specifically the 3 you picked. And if you don’t mind, I will be copying you and adding them to my kit. Thanks again for the video. Keep up the good work. BTW, I live Tennessee also.
Be careful out there.

Very good concept and explanation. I think the 72 hour kit gets too much hype and having tools for long term sustenance is important.
