inner tubes cut to various lengths- they are great for securing gear items (think overgrown rubberband), they also happen to burn hot and long- very nice under adverse conditions

under field conditions, they would also be useful for carrying bundles of tinder, twigs, etc

Along with a lighter, ranger bands will help get a fire going in tough conditions.

"ranger bands" can just be plain old bike inner tube or one that's actually made of epdm rubber - it resists rotting/cracking/withstands the elements better than inner tube.

Dude...a word of advice after reading a handful of your threads: use the search feature. A lot of these questions have been answered in the past.
