So peeved I broke the tether off my transmitter climbing over a fence a couple days ago working with pigeons, I somehow hooked it just right and popped off the plastic piece that holds the tether cord

I normally throw the receiver over my back when climbing fences, but missed it this time.
I always wear it around my neck over my bird vest.
What's a good way to secure the transmitter? I know I can't be the only one with a broken tether. I hate digging it out of my pocket with gloves on.
