1. An apparatus, comprising:
- (i) a longitudinal length of material constructed from a single component and having first and second ends, (ii) a first unfastenable fastening means proximate the first end for forming a first longitudinal loop of the longitudinal length of material when fastened, (iii) a second unfastenable fastening means compatible with the first unfastenable fastening means and proximate the second end for forming a second longitudinal loop of the longitudinal length of material when fastened, and (iv) a third fastening means compatible with and intermediate the first and second fastening means suitable for (aa) looping the longitudinal length of material between the first and second fastening means so as to form a third longitudinal loop from the longitudinal length of material when fastened and thereby decrease the longitudinal length of the longitudinal length of material, and (bb) forming primary and secondary longitudinal loops at the first and second longitudinal ends of the longitudinal length of material when fastened to the first and second fastening means respectively.
