Yep, I was in 32 degree water with ice floating on it two times. Once for about 90 seconds and once for about 2 minutes. It is an emergency for certain.

The most obvious flaw was the ability to jump out of freezing water and just traipse around. You have to at least strip down and get dry clothes on to survive.

While a true story, they were oblivious to the effect of hypothermia and cold water exposure in the winter. And that old story of climbing inside the carcass of a large mammal to get warm has been proven false many times. The animal gets cold about as quick as a steak taken off the grill in cold weather. Hunters know that they cool off pretty quick. Certainly would not retain heat all night long. Could provide shelter though. OK, I guess. It appeared to have been lots of work to make. Leo did a good job.
