I was thinking of mixing silicone caulk with cabosil to make a Sugru substitute. Has anybody tried this?

and check out the comments in the link above:
I tried talc and SiO2 (cab-o-sil)... both works great... less hardeness than starch...

Slightly off topic, but maybe useful if you're planning on tent camping at Oshkosh. Silicone sealant thinned to the consistency of thick paint with mineral spirits makes a good seam sealer for tents. Brush it on the seams with a small paintbrush and let it cure. Better to seal on the inside since the cured seal is slightly tacky and will collect dust.
