Assume Survival

You wake up on a mountain covered in deep snow, confused and disoriented after the plane crash that left you stranded here. Unsure of what to do, you check your phone for service and find, predictably, that you have none. You do, however, have something else; someone else's phone with a specially designed app that can predict the future, one choice at a time. There are many possibilities to consider, but the program makes one thing very clear: your chances of survival once darkness falls are slim to none, and time passes far faster than you think.

You have six hours until the last light of dusk vanishes below the horizon.

Can you survive?
