Why at any point would he take his clothes off?

I'm guessing you have never seen a person suffering from hypothermia. It f$^ks with the brain and makes you think it's warmer than it really is. Taking off your clothes is one of the last signs of hypothemia. At this point, it is usually past the critcal point and too late. In this case, he was lucky he was found in time.
