I hear ya

After taking things apart and counting it out, I've put over $180 into the SAS tin <img src="/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> it would have been even more had I not had some items already laying around, like the compass that was given to me

I never would have paid that up front for a kit, the only reason it ended up that way was because I bought a little piece at a time over many months
