    I love how it includes a cell phone charger. :D

    But.. I can't find that item anywhere on the Costco site?

    The link has the item with it's current price, on Nov 17th the item number I listed goes active so you can get it for 49.99. I'm not sure if the current active link will have the discounted price or not.

    I only see a cookies requirement when I click the link you posted (on two different computers in two different locations).

    I was thinking that, too. Note the temperature requirements for the shelf-life, though.


    Yeah, it's not a garage or camper-storage thing (at least in the summer...), but it's small enough to tuck in the pantry.

    Looks like a decent start, but in my experience, the "tools" and accessories they put in these "ready made keep the sheep happy" kits are of such low quality, they are nearly useless for a real situation. I may have to check one out anyway.

    I plan on ordering one the first day the discount is good so if they are good I have time to order more before the deal is over. I'm thinking Christmas presents!

    I will post a review as soon as it comes.
