How do you carry your fixed in the wilderness? cross? under? rear? front?

[OwenM]

I don't tend to have much knife use when I'm wearing a backpack or lumbar pack, so it isn't something I worry much about. Since my new pack doesn't have outside pockets, one of the compression straps through the belt loop on a sheath works.
Got rid of all my neckers, but that's what I'd carry if I wanted a fixed blade handy while wearing a pack. As it is, a SAK and/or clipped Spyderco are right there in my pocket.
Strong side hip when carrying a larger fixed blade without a pack, since I'm not carrying a handgun. I like horizontal crossdraw for smaller ones.

I have been needing a machete or golok more recently than in the past, and am debating on how I'd carry that, since I would need to use it while wearing the pack. Haven't come up with a good solution for that, yet, short of carrying on the packs' hipbelts.

Always on my pack shoulder strap, tip up mostly, either side doesn't matter with me.

When carrying a pack I carry a knife upside-down on the weak-side strap.
I never carry horizontal, tried it, couldn't get used to it. If the knife's on my body it's on my strong side... since I can't carry a hand gun.

I used to carry like that. Worked rather well.

I carry my Condor golok attached to my support side(weak side) strap below the sternum strap The sheath will swivel. It rides up front easy to access and re-sheath.

If I'm in a more populated area or hiking where I do not use it much I attach it to the ride side of the pack . I can access with pack on but either have my son re-sheath or remove pack.

I carry a fixed blade on my support side( some horizontal some vertical) due to handgun on my right side.

Fixed blade on the left side of my belt (strong side) folder on my belt on the right, and a backup in my front left pocket.

Depends on the knife.

Some go Horizontal

This one goes in a drop loop (don't have a pic of the sheath):

Strong side or weak side on my belt. I usually stick it in an outside pocket of my pack while on the move.
