looks like the kinda thing youd need to start with BUT bare in mind that you can make your own equipement to suit you and your bird which is normally more suitable and better than the buying it ready made, a bath you can get fairl cheaplt but good quality from b & q, also from b&q or any boating shop you can buy the leash material and make your own at your own prefered length. think of it this way - what would you prefer ready made meals or one you put together on your own like homade roasts - for some people they like to prepare it themselves but for others they prefer it to be ready made.
personally i prefer to make equipment myself as i feel its a big part of falconry and will help in emergencies. also it can save you money which you can use for more important necesities such as the vets!
if i were you i would look around ebay, and other falconry selling places and compare prices.
all the best

nice reply sarah ..i make my own leather gear to Wyndie's needs ..i find it the best way ..as for ordering anklets and bewits they may be the wrong size for the bird as the birds vary in size not by much but a proper fit is better than a wrong fit ...plus it is part of falconry ...

kesses
anklets
creance
anklets
lure (dont like the look of teh grey ones on the site? very rarely see rabbits like that)

i got my bag from due north and other stuff from the faconry festival ...love the bag loads of room to put stuff and a few metal loops and clips on the strap ...but still make all my own leather stuff

OK, most post will be the same and I agree you should make as much as you can. It will save you a pile of money in the end. I made my game bag out of an old Military duffel bag. My lure was made from a leather ladies hand bag from the thrift shop and I made my anklets out of Kip and braided my own jesses. I wanted to make sure before I sank big money in this I was going to commit to this. Of couse yes I bought a welders glove for first falconry glove I have most of it here to make a shadow box one day to hang on the wall. In the end I have flown birds over 20 years and I did not sink a lot of money in it. Later I did buy high dollars hoods, gloves,balances and so forth but it did not hit all at one time.

most of it is pretty simple emma fords book has how to make jesses and hoods (bit adventureress lol) also there are demonstrations on here!! IMH0 its important to learn how to make the necessaties before you get a bird incase of emergencies!!

[AccyFalcons]

hi,
im not right good at leather craft but how ever i do make my anklets and has for jesses i use a bullets system and fly my falcons without flying jesses.but even things like your bags,telemtry,lures and hoods shop about first you always find someone with quality but still cheaper.has for scales you can make them with some cheap digital scales from argos or somewhere and just glue a wood T shape on the top.

you can make your own kits but beware of the type of leather you will be using. Not all leathers are suitable.
