Great idea for a thread!!
Tons of adventures in remote places and I can say that neither myself nor my partners have had any note worthy incidents.
Avoid horses and quads. Those things both have weight and power. I prefer boots

My friend had back spasms while we were out on a moose hunt, he could basically not move so we laid him by the fire but he still got hypothermia, we eventually got him in a cot in the tent in his bag where he warmed up.
It is so important to plan for the worst, have a good 1st aid kit and a way to communicate with the outside world. Guns, knives, axes, bears, rough terrain, weather all lead to risk. On a fly-in you could be locked down by weather for days at a time.
One safety item I never skimp on is a very warm sleeping bag, if all else fails at least you have a warm place to lay down.
Forgot about this one...shot a nice bull moose about 1/2 hour before the end of legal shooting time about a dozen years ago. When 1/4ing it up in the dark I tripped and had a sharp stick about a 1/2 inch in diameter go through my left hand in the soft tissue between my thumb and index finger.
Very painful kidney stone attack while in my treestand figured i was dying in some way.It was a long crawl out of the bush and the 2 hours into the hospital.Ouch

Passenger in a high speed off an old snowy skidder trail barrel roll in mid air landing on the roof 50' below last day of last seasons "2018" Mule deer season Reg 8, Nov 10. Severe concussion, slight brain bleed, neck, upper, mid and lower back, compression injuries to knees, nerve damage and some other stuff. Still in rehab. Good times... Oh and no deer...
Dislocated my right shoulder when I slipped on a snowy ramp loading my quad in my truck. Truck was stick shift, had to shift with left hand to get home, try it, not easy. Thankfully the quad was already loaded and I wasn’t too far from town. Doc had issues trying to get arm back in the socket, had to put his foot in my armpit and reef on it, while I screamed in narcotic euphoria. Physio separated it in therapy and had to get it repaired, good now.
I also tested the sharpness of a Havalon last spring while skinning a bear and watched in what seemed like slow motion as I sunk it into the side of my pointing finger til the tip hit bone. Went in like butter, absolutely no force. Be damn careful with Havalons. I was whining like a little bitch about getting trichanosis and my wife and buddy still raz me about it!

Eve & I were preparing to fish in Gaspard Creek(2007 summer) when charged by a grizz. Both of us screaming changed his mind only feet away.
I yelled-run,run to the camper quickly. I was running for the gun that was hanging on the camper jack. Eve was holding a stool in one hand & running as fast as she could. She wore some loose sandals & wiped out 2 times falling into some sharp rocks & boulders. The stool was for protection said Eve!
I was back quickly to the creek area with the loaded 375 H&H but the bear was gone for good.
Her left leg up to the knee was badly bleeding & swelled to about 2x the size(have it on a video). Also her hands were badly bruised.
We went back to Vancouver the same day. She saw the doctor & no bones were broken.
