It's pretty clear Chris had the intention of coming out of the woods. How he would live his life is up for debate. When you consider he kept money, ID and a map in his bag in a "hidden" compartment along with his sign (injured-neardeath) showing he was not there to die leaves little doubt to me that he was coming back at some point.
I feel Chris would of continued to attempt to push himself to the limits, unfortunately, until he died. It was simply a matter of time. I believe that to be true due to his increasingly difficult journeys.
