[at-l] Winter bags/claustrophobia

[Mara Factor]

Oh yeah...  I'm not generally claustrophobic but I hate breathing stuffy air 
and can get a bit panicky if my mouth shifts away from the opening.  So, I 
zip all the way up but when I pull all of my drawstrings closed, I don't tie 
them off but try to keep my hands on them.  That way, when I want to get 
fresh air, I just have to release the strings and the openings get large 
enough for me to breathe easier.

This is more of an issue with the more layers I have as they're likely to 
get misaligned as I sleep.
