A long time actually, IF an injury is not life threatening and they can make drinking water(which they should be able to). Remember if they are sheltered from the weather and aren't hypothermic, they can survive on water alone for weeks.

Which is why I always carried shelter, flares, and emergency supplies even on day hikes.
