Here are the basic signs of Hypothermia
- Shivering. May start off mildly and go severe
- General apathy and sudden exhaustion
- Losing coordination (can't tie a knot, etc)
- Loss of concentration
- Sudden irrational behavior
- Unable to speak correctly (slurred speech, dropping words)
Edit per comments
- Final stages: Shivering can stop and subject can feel too warm and removing clothing
