making your own donkey dick

If you are like me and haven't upgraded your qr chicken loop, here is an easy way to make a donkey dick (If you don't have a qr chicken loop, stop and please go buy one).
I have seen people make them out of quick ties, but am not happy with how the ones I've tried have performed.
Plan A)
-If you have an extra harness fixed loop, cut it in half and you instantly have two donkey dicks.
Plan B)
-The other method is to get some tubing (polyethylene, tygon, whatever) with whatever "bendness" that suits your preference. Then thread some (of about the same diameter as your tubing) cordage through the tubing, tie a knot one one side, and tie a bowline on the other to affix it to your spreader bar. Cut the tubing to whatever length you prefer. Done.

I used plan B, and have been happy with the results. I've had the chicken loop pop out a couple times, but I think that is mostly due to not inserting it properly, if not could probably be fixed by bumping up the diameter of the tubing. I think it ended up being less than a dollar for the materials.
