I think you answered your question. If you are in a vehicle I think that carrying like a satchel so it is available with or with out vest and while sitting in a vehicle is best option for you. Regardless, a gas mask if worn should be available at all times if threat is real. So, I never attached my mask to a vest, ruck or LBE, as I may not be close enough to them. I always treated my mask as I would a weapon, never more than arms reach awake and asleep.
