Severe Ankle Sprain

Thursday I jumped out of the back of my van with a small air compressor in one hand and air hose in the other, and I rolled my ankle in the process. About the time the pain became nauseating it popped into my head what would I do if I were not 50 ft from the house but rather out in the woods with no one around.

Ends up it was severe, I couldn't put weight on the foot for 2 days and I am supposed to wear of CAM Boot for 6 to 8 weeks.

So my question is, are there any books/manuals on field splints or other homemade devices you might recommend that deal with such accidents when a CAM boot and assistance isn't readily available.

Thanks,

Paslode
