Lets say you are one of two adults that is leading a cub scout troop on a camping trip, in a very remote wilderness area (no cell phones, no civilization for miles). It is a very mountainous and heavily wooded area. Two of the boys wander off on a hike without your permission, and one of them gets injured (fell down a ravine, maybe broken or twisted ankle). The other boy comes back to get you and can lead you to where the injured boy is. You have a good jump kit in your car and your camping gear. You send the other adult into town (40 miles) to get help using your only vehicle. Realizing you have to carry everything in by foot, and have to bring the boy out by foot, what equipment do you take ???? He is at least 3 miles into the woods. There is no gotcha here, I have just never done wilderness rescue, and would like to know what you guys generally do ?
