that would be 5$ total, I figured if everyone spent around that amount say for example one buys a roll of aluminum foil another a box of razor blades, strike anywhere matches, fish hooks etc... if everyone shares that it should go a long way to making 25 or so decent starters.

Think I am looking at the troop getting would be a spool of 550 cord, a big box of trash bags and maybe a large plastic mirror we could cut up into smaller signal mirrors (Mylar and cards is a much better idea posted above Thanks)
