Here's a tip on frostbite from Trekker's Website. The article references how to warm up hands, but considering your man's outfit, I'd imagine this would work too: (highlighted red section)

"...numbness and tingling in your extremities is usually the first sign. If treated early enough, frostbite is reversible. If not prevented or treated, an advanced warning sign of frostbite is when your skin turns white or grayish-yellow at the affected areas. At this stage, your skin may feel firmer than normal, or "waxy.” If you still don’t do anything about it, your skin will actually begin to die, leading to permanent damage, and may also require amputation.

If you do notice signs of frostbite and you’re not able to get to a medical facility, there are some things you can do. First, seek any shelter or source of warmth right away. Try to warm your hands first by stuffing them in your armpits, or between your thighs. After your hands warm up, use them to warm your toes, ears, and nose, but don’t rub any affected areas too hard.
