you can get some old car inner tube from a tyre shop/garage and the bigger size allows more inventive uses.
if you get the two sections of a fishing rod stuck together they need a pull and twist to separate. use a couple of pieces of opened out inner tube on each side of the rod joint and you will be able to grip the rod blank securely and prevent it slipping when you twist.
you call that a knife...

great for impressing young kiddies during firelighting demos when you pull a bit out of the bottom of a bucket of water and light it

this might have been posted already but didnt want to trawl through the large amount of pages but if you need to split logs for fire wood use two tubes stretch them round your logs untill tight and then whack away with the axe, all your fire wood is contained by the two tubes stopping it pinging off every where also works really well with old tyres,car tyres etc
when all else fails, a a ranger band ( rubber band made from an innertube) cut in half and stuck on a hook makes a passable mackerel lure
In Thailand they use them as tree huggers for hammock suspension.
Victory awaits the one, that has everything in order - luck we call it
Defeat is an absolute consequense for the one that have neglected to do the necessary preparations - bad luck we call it
