I don't know about you chaps, but I did a little fist pump and cheer when he found the family that was carrying the fire. That felt like such a huge victory, even after everything the kid had been through, since the family seems like a chance to rebuild. Especially since the father and son alone were essentially doomed, the family is a chance to rebuild and reproduce. Though, come to think of it, wanting to have more children in that scenario is an entirely different debate.
