one of the most useful things on a bike is making a slingshot from the tyres and the front forks. island kids I used to know would put ball sinkers thru street signs at 15m with those things.
condoms, you can braid em for bands. Wont last forever but hey... if they did most of us wouldn't be here, right? :d
It tastes awful but you can also use inner tubes as water storage, and wear it over your shoulder. Wrap with cloth or grass to insulate from solar heat unless you want ah ot shower later that day. The cables from brakes etc make fine snares and fishing trace, spokes you can weave and fold with pliers into a passable grill. The tyres on wide tracked rides like mountain bikes can be made into tolerable sandals.
Cellphones... actually pretty interesting things. The steel case models you can pop the front panel and with a little snapping and rubbing on a stone make a passable fishhook from the edge of the faceplate around the screen. The battery pack often has a holographic decal which when fixed to a sliver of metal or bamboo makes a good spinning lure. You can recharge the packs off anything with a similar voltage and ampage and even with no service, it's still a useful light. Battery cells make a moderately loud pop when you put them in a fire, maybe useful for scaring animals away from camp for the night. Or maybe not
Also the recharge cord can be used for snares, cordage, the copper can be stripped and used for other things and the little pins if they have holes in em can be used as lures, or weights.
bank cards hold a decent edge for prepping veggies etc, and can be heat moulded into other shapes.
a lightweight flashlight or torch even when out of batteries and without a bulb can still be used for storing prepared foods, anything you want to keep fairly dry and the clicking button can beu sed for communication between hunters working together so prey is not spooked by human voices.
