My question is: Would you be willing to let him save your life? Or would you fight him to be the one to sacrifice, I mean could you accept the sacrifice he made, knowing you could've changed places with him?

I was in mountains on winter hiking trips and constant motion is the way to go, to keep the blood circulation going.
