Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted July 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 practice doing it with one hand and 2 knots are far safer than one especially with a harris that will pick at it lolI use the lasso knot onto a carabiner, clip it onto the perch ring then falconers knot on top so theres no chance of the knot coming of the clip,then when i pick the bird up to go out i just unclip the carabiner onto the glove d ring and im off So the carabiner stays with the bird at all times? Except when you swap mews jesses to flying jesses of course. Yep makes thing easy Any reason why you use a carabiner as opposed to something like this... Wouldn't the swivel be beneficial?
