Re: The Dawg Leash
I'll lead with the disclaimer that I do not use this, nor have I ever gotten to like using a strap that didn't go around my neck. It always felt unsafe, not secure enough (it would slip when not engaged by my left hand, pointing toward the floor), and was thus distracting. I'm sure you can appreciate the gravity of the situation. Also, this seems a bit pricy.
But I will say, one of the best straps I've ever used was made from a dog leash. I picked up a standard nylon leash at a yard sale for a dollar - about a yard or meter long, 3/4" or 1.5 cm wide, with a wrist loop at one end and a metal clip to attach to the dog's collar at the end. I cut it to size (thereby removing the clip as well), folded that end over a bit of insulated wire and used Krazy glue to make a loop to hold the wire in place, and fashioned a loop out of the wire to go around the end pin. The wrist loop slid over the scroll. Very easily done. In fact, this is what was on my late, lamented F-12 when she was stolen.
But that's just my opinion. I could be wrong. - Dennis Miller
