besides, if he can only use the sand in his gourd.....then he'd be screwed.....just consider all the times where he probably left at least a little bit behind (like when sasuke was pursuing him, he saw a trail of sand)
eventually he'd run out

and if you've seen gaara's final form.....i dont think he'd have even 1/100th of the sand it must take to form that.
Huh, hourglass... yer *truly* young... didn't even watch Big O...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
And, I think there's *his* sand and Shukaku's... Maybe, there are different instances, like 1. he can use the sand around 2. Gaara's own sand (the one in the gourd) 3.Shukaku comes with his own sand. I will assume that amount of sand=amount of chakra. So like Naruto has 2 diff chacras, one of his own and the other from the kyuubi, Gaara would have his two chakras/sand and the capacity to manipulate the chakra/sand around. Like regular chakra, that all would be interrelated.
Just my theory....
