How do you carry a spare bow string?

I'm kind of with Jon Stewart.
Always have one back in camp with all that gear but never carried one in the woods.
Carry a few other items but not a string.
I guess if my string breaks ( because I didn't inspect it beforehand ) or I accidentally cut it then I should go back to camp.

Usually in the pocket of my Arrowmaster, but this year I will hunt at least part time with a bow quiver, so then a fanny pack.

I've got a well shot in string complete with silencers and brush buttons in a ziplock in my hunt pack along with a stringer . I've carried one for 40 years and needed it twice but it saved the hunt. It weighs nothing and takes up no room so why wouldn't you carry one ?

Generally I carry one in my pocket if out and about around home. Out of state I tape one to the riser or quiver. Ive bowhunter for 40 plus years and never needed one yet, but you never know.

Pocket of my pack with my stringer and other parts in a small ziplock.

I have had 2 hunts ruined by cut or badly frayed string. It does happen. I carry a spare when I'm hunting. Always have a stringer too. I use a small vinyl pouch with snap closure I found somewhere. It is very thick to protect the string in my pack.

I carry an extra string that's shot in when I'm hunting out of state. Hunting around home I don't even think about it. I would just walk back to house. I've never needed the extra in 50 years

In a plastic bag in my pack usually. If I am using the stuff the pockets method I just shove it in a cargo pocket on my pants. I usually have another or even a backup bow in the truck too. I make my own strings...no reason not to have spares and I couldn't imagine how disappointed I'd be if I dedicated most of my practice time leading up to the season to one bow and then to not be able to finish a hunt because I had a slight accident with the string lol... That would be awful

My back quiver has a pouch just for that!
