my friend once fractured his tibia & fibia when we were hiking in the brecon beacons so we had to secure it with a stick and some rope and carry him to the nearest road

Whenever I go hiking I think about what would happen if I broke a limb far from civilization. How the hell did he deal with the pain?
a cocktail of paracetamols, ibuprofen and codeine, hardly touched him but he was on leave from army training at that point so tried to act like the big alpha dog and not show any signs of pain
I used to backpack a lot in college and one time I planned a 3 day solo trip through the Ozark mountains. At the end of the first day I was jumping a small stream and tore my ACL. I couldn't walk, and every step was excruciating. I camped there and hoped someone would come by, but no one ever did. luckily, I keep a vicodin in my first aid kit and had lots of weed to help with the pain, i also saw on the map that a road was only two miles away. I ended up putting on a knee wrap, constructed a make-shift crutch, hid my gear, and made it to that road (took me like 8 hours!) where I was picked up by some park rangers. it was the scariest situation in my life and if that road wasn't there I might have died. I never went backpacking again haha.
Sounds scary as heck - an epic story though. I might have to include weed in my first aid kit in future
