motonacio is on a distinguished road
Although I have not done much touring on my XTR I do ride in remote mountain areas and always carry a small drum of fencing tie wire - it can do all the things the cable ties do and is not effected by heat - the small pliers in the multi-tool can be used to twist it tight and was a license saver when my 900 Divvi exhaust grounded and got ripped off. The gaffa tape can be used under/over the wire for protection/waterproofing.

The old trick of keeping spare brake/clutch cable taped to the existing is always good as is liquid steel.
