My dad would say the broken elbow was bad luck. Not having a first aid kit or a way to get further medical help would have turned it into an "adventure".

Yep.

We did.

We had a large triangle bandage but one of the boys fashioned a sling from a bandanna and paracord.

We thought it was just a bad bruise so didn’t get treatment till the next night when we got home. Not tremendous pain and initial treatment is just a sling anyway.

I lead a trail life USA troop and my boys like the saying about not an adventure. My take is that you quickly forget all the easy, clean camp outs, but that one where we backpacked 13 miles in the rain, or the 15 mile canoe trip in a headwind so strong it blew one of our boats over, that was an adventure!
