And if you don't have an extra muffler strap laying around, get out that blown car tire (or piece thereof) that you found along the highway and cut out a rectangular piece from the casing. Typically fabric reinforced rubber coated. Very stout. Old motorcycle tire casing is typically thinner than car/truck tire casing, if that works better for ya.
I like this idea but my better half is very particular about what I can and can not accumulate. LOL
