If you read the second to last paragraph of my post, think of: pain relief, shelter, warmth (fire, clothing), light (if you haven't got any light, you can't do diddley on a dark night in the bush), food, water (you may not be close to a stream), signalling equipment (a whistle is great- it can be heard well beyond the range of a human voice).
Be aware that the combination of an injury, and wet and cold conditions, can be fatal.

And consider this: you may not be found for a day or three: a search won't take place until you are notified as overdue (will somebody do that? People who live alone often don't tell anyone when/where they're going bush). Also, SAR will need a general location of where you are operating.

There are some great suggestions in the earlier posts..
