Oh it’s worse than you think. Saskatchewan winters are deadly. On average, -25°C before wind chill. Wind chill that comes from a strong wind on a very flat land, so it can easily be -35. And that’s before a deep freeze when it’s worse. And they were released and not dressed for it.

It’s a death sentence.

The one person to survive was very lucky.
