He starts his journey back and when he comes out he finds a puddle and plunges into it. When he is going back, he thinks he will bleed to death and he is already dehydrated and hungry. While going back, he finds a family of three going back after a day of canyoneering and asks them for water. They give him some food and water and go call the security personnel of the Canyonlands National Park. Those people also will be looking for them as his parents had filed a missing complaint for him.
