 Extreme Cold and the Human Body |
 |
Dr. Gordon Giesbrecht (aka Professor Popsicle) has done decades of research on the effects of extreme cold on the human body. His studies have cleared up many misconceptions people have about the survival rate of exposure and cold water immersion. Here is a an article that was featured in Outside Magazine.

Just so we have it quick reference somewhere I'll post the 1-10-1 rule. 
1 minute to get your breathing calmed down.
10 minutes of activity, and to move around.
1 hour until you go into hypothermia.
