Horton didn't get lost in the wilderness but because of his injury, and his Van 3 miles away with deep snow, this became a real winter survival situation that ended up lasting 9 days with very limited supplies.

 Charles did manage to build a fire the first night, but little did he know at the time it would be the last fire he would feel for the remainder of his 9 day survival experience in the middle of winter. Fortunately for Charles one of the few survival pack supplies he had on him was a whistle that very well may of what untimely saved his life.
