You either have to do a trail-fix and replace it, assuming you brought a spare, or winch/drag yourself up onto your trailer and head home.
Personally, I carry spare axles in my Samurai, and a spare third in the TC. I also carry a spare driveline, u-joints, hoses and other smaller parts in the Samurai. They cost less than a trailer, take less space, and allow me to drive out of the trail and Flat tow home.
For years, I played with Dune Buggies, Bajas, and Sandrails. I did trailer them, but still carried spare parts, not in the machines but on the trailer of in the truck.
Like most things in life, you try to be prepared.
