This is an example of why the Boy Scouts advocate the use of at least the buddy system. When hiking, you should hike in a group of three, so if something like this happens, one person can stay behind with the guy who has a bolder on his arm and another person can go look for help. Barring that, at least you'd have someone to help you with the amputation. I can't imagine amputating my own arm with a pocket knife.
