As always NR, you are a fountain of knowledge.

I must take a look at my BOB, maybe I need two bags one for when it might be possible to come home after an event or maybe I should just go all out with a inch bag.
Mind you I think the only thing I might add would be a tent to allow a stay out in the open a little more easier and to assist with my tarp.

I learn quickly from people with good ideas and some Americanese recently suggested as well as the layered EDC, BOB system the Bob system should also be layered with expansion modules. IE Basic Bob with main kit and supplies for 72 hours, Then Expansion kit 1 with extra rations, clothes, medical supplies, fuel to last say 168 or 336 hours. Expension kit two containing another layer which basically finishs off converting the 72 house disaster kit, to a BOB to an INCH bag. IE like the tarp you mention Ideal for 72 hours but with an expansion kit you could have a tent, the tarp would then be used as a wind break for the tent etc etc

I have taken a look at my BOB , It does have room and clips for an expansion bag.
The layered outlook on the BOB looks like a winner for sure.
I will be purchasing additional fuel, food and adding extra medical supplies and clothing to the extra layered bag which will simply clip to my BOB.
Again thanks for the heads up.

Regards.

The concept certainly has potential, its an alternative to the traditional BOB bag and prelocated Caches if you need more flexability in your travel plans, IE you dont know where you are going or which route you will choose the INCH is a better arrangement. But for families with a retreat or safe location already sorted the lighter weight BOB and Cache system will probably be better ( I think ) ??
