Now I want to get out the drill and roll me some duct tape!

Not to say that I would want to do it all the time...it's like the time I ate alligator in New Orleans. I wouldn't want to have it all the time, but I tried it, and now I know what it's about.

When planning items to include in a Nalgene bottle kit, I was adding up what the components would cost, and IIRC with the cost of the bottle itself it was easily over $100.

Now I plan on emptying the contents of a Ritter PSK into a ditty bag or something similar to fit through the mouth of the bottle, and most of my kit assembly will be done!

If I were to want the PSK to be less expensive, it's only so I could buy more and not have my wife go <img src="/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

I learned in cutlery selling class once that in order for someone to buy something, the perceived value has to outweigh the cost. For all but the completely obtuse, I think this slide show would greatly increase the perceived value of the PSK, if for nothing else, because of the labor intensive nature of the assembly!

From start to finish, how long does it take to assemble one kit?
