You build your own kit for the same reason a grunt cleans his own rifle- so that he knows it, inside out, upside down, and in the dark. ("OUCH! There are the fishhooks." ) If you have to trust your life to a package that fits in your pocket, you should know it was well as you know your own life. <br><br>Also, everyone wants and needs diferent things. Look at the review of the commercial kits that Doug has up. Even the best of them doesn't fit all of any person's needs, unless they want it for an expensive teddy bear. It's better to build your own, so that you know what your gear can take. And if you build it, your more likely to have spares around to learn how to actually use them. There are two kinds of people- those who learn how to use tools, and those who are tools.<br><br>As for the hundred bucks.... Other than the Rx meds, nothing in Doug's kit is all that pricy- his small might cost 80 bucks, with shipping, and you have the trainers. There isn't enough market to be able to go into business doing just PSKs as anything other than a sideline, and have it be profitable- ask Chris. <br><br>You can't make people buy a good kit, so they whine a little about a 30 dollar peice of junk and are happy until they die. If you build one anyway, you will just be out money, becuase the only people who appreciate the quality will build thier own.
