When Walter and Jesse get stranded in the desert, could they have made the walk?

In Breaking Bad S02E09, Walt and Jesse go to the desert to cook meth and they drive approximately 15 miles/24 km down a dirt road. Midways cooking, they realize the car battery is dead, and manage to kill the generator and spill their drinking water. At this point I assume they could make the walk. The next day they spend hours of hand cranking the generator in the desert sun to no avail. In the end they make a DIY battery to start the RV.

So if the DIY battery failed and they waited until the sun set that day, after ~30 hours without water, would it be humanly possible for them to walk 15 miles? And could meth be of help?
