Missing hiker found alive after 6 days

Sounds like this was just supposed to be a 3 mile day hike, and he got lost when he tried to return....

He stated that he was: "exhausted" and "my legs were finished, because I never walked that far." Doesn't really say at what point this happened. If this happened early on, he may have made a decision to just sit it out and wait for rescue, and his water supply finally ran out. This would be a reasonable choice if he was absolutely sure that his family would report him missing when he didn't check back in that evening. Or...is he just saying that after 6 days with no food or water, his legs were just done???
