Several of 1000 Uses for Old Bicycle Tubes

Step 1Strap Retainers

Strap Retainers
I know this is a little OCD, but I hate it when my pack is all rigged up, and there are all these spare bits of strappage hanging around all over the place. This is especially true of more recent packs / load bearing vests. I use slices of bike inner tube about half inch wide, and wrap them around the offending strap after I roll it tightly to the pack. They are also handy for use elsewhere, as they are already on your pack.(Note paracord zipper pull in background)

Like the idea, who knew they were so versatile, guess it would make a long lasting rubber band. Thanks for the idea when I come up with other uses I will post them.
