Don't be a whiner! If that one guy can lop off his arm with a dull Swiss Army knife, then you should be able to drag yourself up a hill with a broken leg! When I was a Boy Scout, we didn't even have maps. We had rough sketches drawn on the backs of cocktail napkins with a crayon! And for a compass, we had to use a sharpened stick. And that was only if we were lucky enough to find a stick. Otherwise, we had to make do with a rock.

THIS IS WHAT'S WRONG WITH AMERICA THESE DAYS!! WE'RE GETTING TOO SOFT!!

Duct tape will do an adequate enough job of patching a broken arm or leg. You might not be quite as fast, but you should still be able to complete your mission. Anyone too wimpy to get themselves out of the wilderness by themselves probably shouldn't be going there in the first place.
