Bug
A survival and preparedness adventure that follows two groups of survivors with different methods of surviving an infestation. Two groups of people each with a different strategy: bugging in and bugging out. The intention is to highlight the advantages and disadvantages of each strategy. The title is a play on the prepper communities terms to "Bug In" and to "Bug Out", as well as a nod to the Infestation of Bugs that have caused this disaster.
