I loop the cord thru a strap on my pack’s shoulder straps to ensure it stays with me. Has enough length for securing it to my waist belt withe the clip on the rangefinder (vortex). Can also fit in my front pocket. Used to carry it in the belt pocket, but removed that to put a holster on the right side.
Can also let it dangle if necessary.
I’ve passed on the whole front pack thing. Just don’t want more bulk up front. Binos carry just fine without it and I’ve never had a problem getting a wind checker from a front pocket.
