I accentually posted this as a comment on Rachael's page. I just realized it now.

I think Chris would have stayed on the road and kept doing what he was doing. I think he would get a job for a couple of month and then move on to some other place. With the risks that Chris took in life I don't think that Chris would have lived a very long life if he would have survived the wild. Chris' personality was not the type to settle down. Not at any point throughout the book did it talk about Chris ever wanting to go back and see his family. He no longer had a connection with his parents and unless his parents ever found him i don't think that he would ever see them again.
