I disagree that an immobilizing injury is a leading cause of "survival" situations. I think becoming lost and inadequate clothing for the weather is #1.
That said, the best, practical equipment for fracture management is two SAM splints and the knowledge of how to rig them. With two, you can splint anything short of a femur fracture.
