Mmm, campfire toast.

My theoretical frugality fails immediately in the face of pain, I'm  
afraid.  (But I've managed to restrain myself from buying my dream  
sleeping bag that's $50 off right now.)

Maybe because I'm female and shaped different, I dunno, but even new  
my sternum straps are always cinched all the way tight and I wish they  
could go tighter.

Non-stretchy is probably best anyway.  In theory, I hear, they're  
stretchy so you can expand your chest to breathe.  But I tend to  
breathe from the diaphragm so what do I care?
