If you choose Option 1 Quickly get near the edge and spread your legs wide. Take off your belt and use it for your partner to grab hold of and hoist them out comment here
Yup!!! This has gotta be it assuming you know where edge is there is more leverage and less risk because if more ice breaks you still have the belt.
Bonus-- both get nekkid and get into the thermal blanket. Hopefullyim wearing layers and can share some clothes, put shoes by the fire until both bodies are warm.
I choose this option. And after getting my partner out I will remove the wet clothes, and get back to the fire for warming. I will use some of my dry clothes to gently pat my partner dry, and remove one of my layers of clothing to give my partner, then wrap the space blank over their back to contain more warmth while I continue to gather more wood for the fire, and also hang the wet clothes out on sticks around the fire to dry.
After this mishap I make plans to spend the night, and build a shelter near the fire from branches I find on the ground. I warm sume water for my partner to drink. I build a bigger fire, and keep an eye on my partner. If thers measures are not enough I make it so we can share skin to skin contact on torsos, hands and feet through the night while staying as covered as possible.
Yes, use your belt...don't get near the edge yourself. Hoist him out and get him out of those wet clothes. Use body heat, your dry clothes, and the thermal blanket to warm him. Sip the water in the canteen that has been warming by the fire.
time is short, spreading the legs spreads the weight, the belt is easier for him to grasp. Get him out and get get him out of the wet clothes and in the blanket

I choose this option. The next thing to do is get my partner out of the wet clothes.
I'm a helper, no point changing now.
Once out of the water, get in shelter, strip them off and get some skin to skin activity going - to warm them up
No shelter just the blanket as far as i know
a quickly constructed snow shelter....?
Lol cold
