Decades ago my younger brother broke a ski in half on his snowmobile and did an endo when the back half of the ski dug in. He was okay but we both thought we were screwed. Fortunately my dad had a hatchet and black rebar wire in his snowmobile, that he used to make tree branch splints on both sides of the broken ski. My brother hung off the other side of the snowmobile and rode it all the way back to the cabin that way.

Rebar tie wire is annealed to be be softer than regular wire. You can twist it and twist without breaking like other wires, but it does has it's limits. I carry some in the glove box of my truck and gave my friend some to carry in his ATV, which he used one time when I wasn't with him. He used a bunch to hold together another ATV with a broken tie rod, at least I think it was a tie rod that broke. Whatever it was that broke, our other friend was able to limp it back to camp, but they had to use all the wire to do it. No problem. I have a roll in my basement I used to restock them with. I bought hundreds of feet of it.
