Yeah, I laughed at the price too. For $100 I could do much better. It depends on the way you aquire your gear. Such as running in to specials is the key. Like the NRA "survival kit" that had the fox 40 whistle and signal mirror , blast match and a couple other things for $20. Those are the deals to look for. Buying led lights from countycomm.com Those $1 lights are the bomb. Wally World is sometimes pretty good. Why buy a "photon" led headlamp for $30 when you can buy a great 4 led headlamp by energizer for $10 there? Compare sites...countycomm.com sells sparklites for $7 where other sites want $10. I'm a good food shopper, and like I always say.....every store will stick you if you don't know your prices. Even Wal-Mart...which has the highest beer prices around here. Good luck and happy hunting.
