How does the option in question #45 work out for Jason?

Hawthorn arrives at the village to find it empty. The same thing happens with the next village. Hawthorn finally sees a moose track and begins to follow it. He comes upon a cabin, but no one is there. Later he sees a tent and finds two men inside, frozen solid. Hawthorn has lost sight of the moose and knows he must return to the cabin or else both he and Charlie will die.
