Re: Where Do You Keep Your Hammer
I keep mine on the back of my belt. The only thing I hate is it hits the back of my legs, I've gotten into the habit of holding it when walking long distanses

Re: Where Do You Keep Your Hammer
Mine rides on the back of my Oxys, or very occasionally in the loop on the right bag. It spends 99% of the "non-active" time in the back.

Re: Where Do You Keep Your Hammer
I keep mine in the loop in the back of my bags.. on the belt of that is.. have my own flip around and put down that I do subconsciously. With that I always know which way it is facing, yeah it sometimes slaps me in the back of the legs, and occasionally it hits me in the taint.. but that is really the best place for it!

Re: Where Do You Keep Your Hammer
I bought a second hanger for the front, on a windy day it feels good swinging back and forth.
On non windy days its my tailbone protector. |

Re: Where Do You Keep Your Hammer
