The best treatment for hypothermia is to avoid it but if you (or your buddy) start to shiver, have trouble articulating your thoughts or experience decreased motor skills/coordination then your starting to head down the wrong path and you need to take steps to treat hypothermia.
For indications of hypothermia, watch out for someone with the "umbles". As in Stumble....Mumble....Grumble...Fumble...
