another thing you may also find in more remote areas (& cheaper).... is metal plumbing strapping... it comes in a roll... you cut it to length... put a bolt & nut on the ends......through holes all along it's length... worked real well for me once after knocking my muffler loose on a really wash-boarded way back road. heck it stayed on another 10k until I replace the muffler. Still carry the extra and a few bolts.
