Gorilla tape is great, depends what you're doing though.
My favorite duct tape "substitute" is 3M Extreme Application packing tape. Transparent and lots of glass fibres in it. You won't be tearing this by hand. Kinda expensive compared to duct tape. Not nearly as messy as duct tape to deal with because it doesn't stretch and rip, though that doesn't matter in a survival situation...guaranteed useful stuff. Not meant for the same apps as Gorilla tape.
Quality duct tape is much easier to deal with than cheap stuff, as far as re-rolling, never mind in actual use. They're not all the same. Duck brand has to be one of the worst to work with IME, I only use it at all for the colors.
If you don't have any saved non-stick backing, try using a junk credit card (I get them sent in the mail all the time) to roll on. That is if thickness matters for your roll. I have my small kit duct tape wound on one, pretty easy to get off too compared to a small squishy roll, each layer is about 7".
