FWIW, an ice axe is an excellent splint for a broken ankle, with the adze under the heel and the pick lashed to the forefoot.

What are you trying to say Bill?Pucknuts61 said:Is shooting them and finding a new hiking buddy an option?
Yes, I know that, but I was thinking more from the "being prepared" standpoint, something that Doug clearly was.Mike P. said:While the timing with Doug Paul is coincidental, breaking a femur Vs. anything down around the ankle are two very different injuries. You'd have to really shatter the lower leg badly (badly in case "Shatter" did not give you a gruesome enough picture) to be in the same state.
