First of all, Robert probably lost his fiancee to Kevin while searching for the hut during those hours since Kevin and Julia were holding hands, and shared each other's hopeless perspective. Robert was definitely hopeful about finding the hut, but logically that decision was extremely risky since they expended lots of energy walking for hours in terrible weather and he probably didn't know if he was walking in the right direction. On the bright side, it is better to have tried to find shelter than to just die complaining and remaining still. The moral of this article is to never give up hope no matter how illogical it may seem since trying is better than doing nothing.
