Can someone give a brief summary of the story?

To Build a Fire surrounds a man travelling through the wintery Yukon. It is perhaps -70 degrees and the man knows he should not be travelling. He has a Husky dog that understands the folly of travelling through instinct. The man carries on and has a series of mishaps that should have convinced him to make camp. He eventually runs out of strength and freezes to death. You can check out the GradeSaver summary below:

A newcomer to the Yukon territory foolishly ventures out into the cold despite warnings not to. He plans to meet his friends at the next human settlement by six o'clock that night. He is accompanied by a wolf-dog, a husky, that feels no affection for him.
