run, but don't sweat
Five miles... even just wearing the cargo shorts I'm wearing now I'd be sweating if I ran that. That sweat would freeze me, and my bare feet would be too frozen to run right, so I'll walk.Actually, do I get to keep what's currently in my pocket? 'Cause I could totally cut tinder and light a fire with what I'm packing. Knit a sweater while I'm at it.
Obviously walk. If you run you're gonna miss 90% of useful survival tools.

So yes, you keep all your things. But i cargo shorts and bare feet, standing still and not moving, you have at the very maximum 10 minutes.

Walk, it's simple science. Running will decrease the temperature further and make you colder as well as run your energy out, leaving you more dangerously susceptible to becoming lethargic, tired, altered, and prone to falling asleep - which if you do while hypothermic or near hypothermia, is almost guaranteed to be your eternal sleep. Walking will keep your energy and will not drop your temperature, giving you more of a chance to make it back.

I wanted to see how many dead and frozen Sep7agoners there'd be. Generally, yes, running will kill you faster as your sweat freezes to your skin and cools you.The true ideal way to go would be to walk the majority, and run the closing distance.In -25, five miles, the vast majority of the people here would be dead with what they're wearing. Even myself included, despite how resistant to cold I am, would likely be dead or in a near state of hypothermia. I just wanted to see how many coffins we could fill with the runners.

Because if you stop, you immidiately slow down. The sweat on your skin will freeze and as soon as you hit that low point from stopping, you lose ground and survival time.
