If you buy the correct type of NVG in the first place then you won't have to worry about where to hide the NVG in those long 1 hour orbits!
That's appreciated, however, what then is the point in having the NVG in the first place if you go A->B above 500ft and when you get to the 'scene', end up removing the goggs in order to prevent any form of RSI/Neckache?
Re-connecting is simple, it's the technique used for years by militaries all over the world.
