Well, it rather depends on what you mean by "on the job"?  But I will go with, chicken wire, for trip flares - tampon, as a wound dressing - condom, to stick p your arse.

Ive held guns together with duct-tape, bungy cords and zip ties over the years.  Have made gaskets and seals from cardboard and trash bags in the past as well!!!!
 
Regarding you gear, sounds like the contents of a belt kit for survival purposes.  Condom = Water container, Tampon = tinder or wound dressing, Chicken wire = trapping small animals.  Am I close?

Here's my submission- a blow-up doll.
This was for a combat readiness course (which entailed spending a November week in field conditions in the coldest, rainiest corner Germany could muster) in a mobility unit. Of course, it involved the usual construction of OPs, DFPs, obstructions, etc. One of the smarter E-3s had been given an inflatable date as a gag gift a few weeks prior. His fireteam convinced him to stuff it (her?) in his ruck before moving out. Now, rather than hire her out as a source of carnal relief- which is what any enterprising Pimp First Class would do- he had her pull night duty in a DFP. Presumably the thinking was that three silhouettes are better than two, even if one isn't going to do any shooting.
I can't attest to whether or not this actually kept the OPFOR away from that particular bit of the perimeter, but it did give everyone something to laugh about. Which was justification enough if you ask me.

Weren't condoms issued during WW2 (and beyond) as a gun water-proofing instrument? Mind you, the uses for it are likely to be extensive and wide-ranging.
