Carry at least one walking pole (even strapped to your backpack if you do not usually walk with one).
This can be used to work your way through bog and swamp; helps your balance crossing streams; stabilises you in windy conditions; can work as a simple crutch and can be separated into three short lengths to splint a fracture.
Finally;
although not encouraged; for a real short distance, two poles can be
rolled up into the sides of a bivvy bag/survival bag (one on each side)
and a makeshift stretcher made.
