Hey Don,
If you like high quality but dislike the price you have to think outside the box. I wanted a GB Mini but did not like the high cost. I started hitting the L.L. Bean return store in Concord, NH, and picked one up that had been given as an unwanted gift for 1/2 price. Look for coupons, last years model, used, and hit some of the 4sale boards set up at many of the smaller outdoor equipment stores. I have saved myself a literal fortune this way. I have found that I do far better by doing manual site by site searches than using a search engine. I picked up a Snowpeak Ti stove for 1/2 price this way. Just some ideas for you brutha.
