Floss is a survival item. Fish line, sutures, mending tents, backpacks, anything fabric, and don't forget, floss!

Looks like you're out of floss now. But you could always reuse the one you stringed up.

My CPAP bag contains a bunch of rubber bands looped together. I also have a bunch of elastic headbands. So far I've always been able to rig something up with those aids and they take up little room in my bag.
