    Lol, I've used it as Ranger bands, put over an knife handle to give it more grip, depending on the size it can be handy to hold your two piece fishing rod together during transport (brocolli rubbers, etc works well too)............can see Elton John using it creatively to help him last longer......... did I mention using it to store air in your bicycle tires?
    You can also store them flat and then just inflate when you actually need the air. Saves on size and weight for ultralight applications.

    Pile cushions.

    use larger tube cutoffs as band for keeping cook kit together - hobos,crusaders etc and as storm cuffs for trousers or jackets
    Time is precious - waste it wisely

    Use them for storing dehydrated water? At 1kg per litre, it really saves on weight and pack size.

    As kids we used to make catapults with the rubber from inner tubes. Car tubes were stronger, but bike tubes stretch better - certainly easier for little kids.

    You can use tubes tied off one end with string coming through to mold your own candles from stumps.

    used in long lengths (cut the tube in a spiral for max lengths) it can be used to tie all sorts together. i've seen it used that way to laminate boards together when making bows.

    wrapped over things that you don't want slipping such as on a car roof rack.

    tie one end and see if your mate can blow it up. fun when drinking that one
    Some great suggestions here from everyone... ok not everyone

    But I'm definitely gona give these a go for; no slip stuff, heavy elastic bands & catipult bands for brother Joe!

    Not a facetious comment here, but why would you want a cover for the sound moderator on your air rifle?

    Use lengths of them to stop tailgate chains rattling on "propper" Series Landrovers.

    Use them as bungy straps for load lashing.

    Slide a shortish bit on a plastic Mora sheath so you can store a firesteel, needle etc on the sheath - also makes any paracord whipped onto the sheath stay in pace better.
