Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
In the story "To Build a Fire," the protagonist is over - confident and underestimates the harshness of the Yukon environment. He does not have a dog (unlike the experienced man in some similar survival scenarios in the Klondike Gold Rush context). He also faces delays (like having to dry out his footgear) and the cold temperature which implies he may not survive the journey as he lacks proper preparation (such as perhaps not having enough extra clothing in a detailed sense, but the key contrast is with the dog - less journey and non - survival implication).
# Answer:
They did not survive the journey.
