Those cheap walkie talkie replacements with a ~2 mile range. About $20/pair
at Walmart.

Nope, they're somewhere out east:

Would probably be under $200 for the materials.

My uniforms just aren't easily available (4th century Visigoth and 15th
century Japanese), so I have to make mine or pay out the blowhole for it.
$20 worth of cotton off the cheap rack will keep me clothed for 2 years. The
armor, however, is a totally different story. I'm about to dump $100 on a
sheet of kydex and $50 on 1/2" tubular nylon to lace it together.
Fortunately a friend of mine works at a sheet metal shop and can sneak my
stuff onto the CNC punch. I really, really don't want to cut about 1000
scales, each with 13 holes, by hand. I'm about to head out to find some
fireplace mortar so I can finish the forge and start beating out a katana...
by hand... start to finish :)

Hmm... perhaps I can understand why everyone thinks I'm completely insane ;)
