If you wear the neck pouch across your body, it might be less annoying. Or you can remove the string and safety-pin the pouch inside your pants. (Use diaper pins so as to not stab yourself.) Then keep the day's cash (and maybe one card if you might need it) and your phone more accessible - I use a slim cross-body pouch that I never take off during the day.I was planning on using a neck passport pouch RFID. But forgot to try it out on my training hikes. Thinking on it rubbing on my neck for hours has made me question that decision.
I also do exactly what SY does. I use the RFID holder under my shirt and carry a daily $ amount in zippered pocket for quick use. Three Camino's and this has worked for me well. Buen Camino. EdI use something like this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014LOP3WA/?tag=casaivar02-20 under my clothing to keep my main stash of money, cards, papers etc. and carry only my daily budget or so 'openly'. Buen Camino, SY

Stashed money...I am using a fanny pack, an ibuprofen bottle, my first aid kit, the hem of my pants, and the waist band of my shorts. A seam ripper and some imagination are key! It's everywhere!In light of recent posts on thefts, this is more of an opinion pole on the options. We know you have recommended carrying cash and cards on you at all times.
I do not have any skirts etc that would have a deep hidden pocket like some, but i do have 1 pair of zip off with a couple of smaller zipped pockets.

The alternatives include a waist belt- but how hot is that when you're already belted with a back pack?
What is the most comfortable safe place to carry critical papers?
(And I do have an ultralight weight day pack/stuff sack for moseying around town. )
thanks Nanc
I can't speak for a man, but as a woman a money belt sits on the waist. The pack's straps sit on the hips. One should not interfere with the other. Yes, a money belt can get sweaty at times but, unlike my clothes, it is one of those items that got washed when I got home......The alternatives include a waist belt- but how hot is that when you're already belted with a back pack?
I also didn't want something on my neck. So, my pants or my jacket usually had at least one pocket. I would put my passport (or sometimes the passport card/copy), and my debit card plus a bit of cash, in that pocket. Then I had a small (probably 4 x 6") little bag on a shoulder strap (mine was almost just a string) that I loaded with my additional cards, my phone, more cash and lip balm, comb, and kleenex that I placed in the top pocket of my pack. When we stopped and the pack came off, the bag went cross-body and into the bar/cafe or wherever. That way I always had the most important things close, kleenex for bathrooms that were out of paper, etc. And all of it was ON me so I couldn't lay it down and forget it. If your clothing pockets don't zip, I recommend pinning closed with a small safety pin so you don't inadvertently lose things. You could also pin a cloth pocket (just cut the strings off of the neck one, or make one that you like) to the inside of a jacket, or even the waistband of your pants. If you wear a belt, you can get pockets that thread onto your belt. At night, everything went into the bag and into the bottom of my sleeping bag.In light of recent posts on thefts, this is more of an opinion pole on the options.
