In all seriousness, I wish they made a scentless smoke stick. nothing tells the wind like smoke.

cat tail fluff, works great, price is right to

Various fluff.  Milkweed. cattail, thistle, the fluffy bases of saddle hackle (I tie flys).  I store it in a pill bottle then before the hunt smear a pinch on my jacket.  Sticks pretty good to cotton, great to wool or fleece.  

Then when I want to check I just pull a few fibers off the jacket.  No fumbling, no fuss.

Me too. I use a Catquiver III with the hip pack. I place the bottle in the smallest compartment in the pack. I can reach down with my right hand and pull out the bottle,open it with one hand,check the wind and put it back in,and never quit walking.

I'm also a fan of milk weed pod's! I have learned more about thermals from floating milk weed seeds then I could ever have imagined!

I also ALWAYS have a 6" piece of dental floss tied to my top serving.  I tie a single not in the floss, maybe 2-3" from the end.  This way the end frays but the rest doesn't and it sticks to the string less.  This system is awesome as you ALWAYS know.  Also, I sometimes use strands from brightly colored fly tying salmon egg yarn.  It floats and you can see it many many yards away, so you can actually track a wind current.
