: I was wondering if you can make your own leash out of 100% cotton yarn and how? Im not sure how to make the figure eight loop. Should it be perminently tight or have a loose in it. Will it choke the s.g. There are no stores available where i live to buy these.And is a "pocket or pouch" certain for them.(Is it only one kind to use or could you buy any kind of small ventilation bag)?

I personally wouldn't recommend using a leash... Iv heard some really bad things about them and I dont want to put my glider in danger.

You can use pretty much anything for a pouch. Fanny packs are good... I made my glider a pouch. I just took some soft flannel like material(remnants from Walmart, cheap and easy :). Then I cut it into a large circle. I made little holes all around the edges of the circle then threaded a long shoe string through the holes. You pull it together and it closes perfectly. You can tie it to a belt loop or whatever. I always keep the pouch with me, but most of the time I let my glider sleep in my pocket :)
