If it's cold, I leave it on my head over whatever headgear I'm wearing. If it's warm, I wear it round my neck. It's a Petzl Tikka and I have no issue putting it on one-handed.

Exploding headtorch battery? I've always thought that passing away while on the bank wouldn't be a bad way to go...

Another vote for wrapping it around my wrist like a watch. I don't have to even think about it then, should I need it. Grabbing my glasses is the main priority as I'm pretty blind without them!

I have one hanging up on a hook by the bivvy door, and one on the floor by my rods.

I grab it from the bivvy table on the way out, however I don't use a torch unless it's a no moon night in a wooded area. On open banks with a moon there is enough light to land a fish. I use the headlight on red if needed to unhook, weigh, and return the fish.

I think he's talking about the wheel that are on bedchairs where you can adjust the head end.

for example
