I use a 6"-8" piece of thread and tie a maribou feather on it and a garbage bag twist-tie to the other end, then just wrap it around my stabilizer.
The maribou feather will grab even the slightest breeze, is right in front of you at all times, so you always know what the wind is doing.

I usually tie up a bunch of them and carry them with me,because they sometimes will break when you go through thick cover.

They work great and you should be able to find maribou feathers at any tackle shop, craft store or strip club. (just grab a handlful from any stripper that wears a boah!) [8D]
