I was on a jobsite a few months ago and some guy got his hand caught in a claw bucket of a bobcat. Probably broken. After treating for shock, I used 3-4 trash bags to pressure wrap it and splint it tight to his body so his crew could take him to the ER.
The crew had no real first aid kit. A box of bandaids and an ice pack. Now, they just have bandaids.

Sounds like a good idea. I remember being told to do the same with newspapers in a first aid course.
