If someone has fractured a leg and you're not close to a hospital, a leg splint is your best bet. Know the steps by heart.

Take action:
Use any cloth and tie the feet and the ankles together, using a figure eight configuration; tie the knot on the outer edge of the foot or the shoe on the uninjured side; bind the knees to each other with a bandage, tying the knot on the uninjured side; bind extra bandages above and below the fracture.
