Parachutes should probably be included here. They don’t completely separate you from the ground, but definitely slow how quickly you become reaquainted. Never cheap out on parachutes.
Interested in sewing, gardening and preserving, with a strong focus on sustainability.

I have issues with the fabric itself wearing through more than the seams. I patch them on the inside with some fabric from another old pair of jeans, and sew over them with varigated thread so the fabric is reinforced but the repair is not very visible.
I don’t know about that, surely cutting out skydiving is moving into cheap territory, not frugal. I mean, cutting your kitchen sponge in half, saving up soap slivers and sewing clothes for your children from discarded chip packets are the sort of things worth doing, but you can’t destroy everything that makes life worth living. It’s really important to me for my mental health that I can jump out of planes whenever I feel the need, and when I do I want the best parachute money can buy.
