A list of phone numbers for the proper authorities for the area your going to be in...speeds up logistics if the unexpected happens. Also the foam pack inserts, like in the GG packs, and webbing/cord makes a decent splint. Nex-care duck tape bandaids are the bomb. Superglue!, quarters, safety pins, poison ivy care, foot rot care.... :-/

While I suppose the pack parts could be made into a crude splint, that begs two questions. 1) Why not carry a SAM Splint, which is way cheaper than replacing a pack? 2) What are you going to carry your stuff in after you've cannabalized a pack?
