Usually around my neck. If snag fishing, the last thing I want to do is add extra seconds slipping on shoes and grabbing a head torch. If i'm on a two rod water with open swims, it'll get hung over the middle rod rest.

If you want completely hands free, I'm guessing you could strap a headtorch that has a sensor onto a bankstick and have that shining into the margins when you run out for a take.

Yep, around you neck, you just forget it is there until you need it.

Used to keep mine round my neck when in the bag. Until I half strangled myself in my sleep with it one night.

Thought the same myself. I just leave it on the table next to my bedchair, automatically pick it up now.

I wear my headtorch (Nitecore NC65) and glasses so I don't have to hunt for them when the buzzer goes off. I sleep on my back and don't even notice them.

I have just worn one of those cheap beanie with the built in led light for a week in France . Worked perfectly , especially for the initial panic . Those lights pop out and are rechargable, and I have a spare unit that pops in .

On a bucket with my glasses next to bed. Wore theheadtorch round my neck for years got caught on something and ended up with the head torch pinging into the back of head at high velocity while half asleep dropped glasses carnage and hysterics at the same time. After that i have adopted a safer approach.

For some reason if I sleep with mine on my head or anything with tension I wake up with a really bad headache, so I bought a cheap beanie with a light built in the front to have on while I sleep and hand my head torch on a hook right next to the door so then once the first panic is finished I grab my head torch and swap over.

I have a beanie with built in light which kills two birds with one stone.
I also have my portable LED light to light up the bank if I need it close to hand.
Since I've had the beanie I never use my regular head torch.

Thought a similar myself. I simply overlook it close to my bedchair, Best Headlamps for Hunting consequently get it now.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
