Is that the "cut here" symbol?

And not even equalized or redundant. Imagine trusting your wife to only one finger...sounds like some Euro shit

You could get one of those nylon/Velcro pouches that attach to your shoelaces.  You’d look cool, like it’s 1982.

You could get a surgical kangaroo pouch installed.

I'm pretty pleased that mine is somewhere on the bottom of the colorado river.  Popped off when trying to get back into the raft after a swim shortly after getting married.

Cheaper to just eat it.

Ditch the rings. Mark your property the old fashioned way, pee on them.

It was expensive, but solved the problem...got divorced.

Me and my wife use rubber rings most of the time and iv never had a problem with them catching on holds in the gym. I will say however I take my ring off when crack climbing because I have a (probably) irrational fear that my ring will cause my jams to slip.

After I broke my original ring I switched to a silicon one so I didn’t have to worry about taking it off and losing it

I try to leave it at home. Usually I forget and keep it on.

If I do, I try to leave it in the change tray of the car. If I forget to do that, I put it on a caribiner or keyring and leave it in my pack. If I start off the ground with it, I come down and put it away. I can't think of a reason to bring it up with me.

Mine is somewhere between the car park and the Squaw at Squamish 

Nothing now because lf I wear a regular ring I forget and cimb with it on or lose it if I remember to take it off. I wore silicone for awhile, but I end up getting rashes from them.  I just stopped wearing them.  Wife is a climber so she understands.

Dogs, being independent beings, sometimes do shit that is unexpected. Mine is almost never on leash because he is trained....but I leash him when it might be dangerous(cliffs, traffic) to him to be unleashed. 

And Squirrels happen....

Ring on a chain around yo neck

I stopped leashing my dogs with that type of leash after one of my dogs ( 100 + lbs.) got his leash around Guy Keese's ankles. That was 15 years ago and he still has the scars. Guy did not get cut badly because he dropped to the ground as it happened. Guys is a slow methodical moving person in  life & climbing, but when all hell breaks out he is just plain fast as lightning.

On which plane is that?

A very fast one!
