There are a few more details at another news site.

"He said he had taken a few tumbles and lost the tent that was on his backpack. He had to sleep in a wet sleeping bag in freezing temperatures for two nights."

You can contribute to a happy ending by having some gear, knowledge and sense. I'm glad it turned out so well.
