....By that I mean set up a tent in the area it was supposed to be set up, walk down to where they were supposed to have walked down in bare feet or stocking feet to see if it can be done,.................
I personally think that :
••• «
...set up a tent in the area it was supposed to be set up...»
••• «
...walk down to where they were supposed to have walked down...»
These two operations do not seem to present any difficulties for nine sporty people.
But the reconstruction is impossible because the wind speed is unknown: 3 m/s or 30 m/s ?, nobody knows.
••• «
...in bare feet or stocking feet...»
After leaving the tent the hikers seem to have worn enough clothes.
But it is not clear what clothes were actually worn, because afterwards there was undressing - washing - and re-dressing
of the corpses.

...Walk in the deep snow without skis...»
On 1 February, almost all along the way down from the tent to the cedar, the snow was probably hard, as can be seen in the photos of the rescuers at the end of February.
••• «
...dig out a den using hands...»
On 1 February there was little snow, so there was almost nothing to dig up to put down the branches or twigs that characterise the Den.
I am curious if anybody knows about an expedition to re-create what happened at the pass?.......................

For the supporters of the criminal explanation of DPI, the re-enactment you suggest, by some kind of actors, is irrelevant because the outcome of this deadly altercation did not depend on the hikers (and for that matter neither on the temperature nor on the wind speed).
The supporters of the criminal explanation assume the presence of other people, the attackers, most of whose tracks in the snow were erased by the wind between 2 February and 26 February.
The qualification of the attackers varies according to the authors, for example:
Eduard Tumanov: outsiders.
Per Inge Oestmoen: skilled special forces operator (KGB or GRU?).
anna_pycckux: military liquidators; There is a very high probability that the liquidators were from the military of the Ivdel Gulag. The order came from the party organs.
My TOK theory: 3 hitmen, who for several logical reasons that I will detail later, are armed only with big sticks (no firearms, which is remarkable and constitutes the originality of this massacre).
The commander, (also called client, sponsor...depending on the translation) was a former NKVD official, fiercely opposed to Khrushchev's de-Stalinisation policy.
The sponsor's order was: kill all the hikers in such a way that it would not look like an accident at all, but a terrorist attack to impress the Kremlin.
So the hitmen did not stage anything on the slope of Kholat Syakhl, but that was not always enough to convince all later observers that the DPI was an ordinary massacre caused by human beings.
..............................
Tried to light a fire in that area with bare hands using the materials that it looks like they used.
The fire was lit by the 3 attackers (at about 6 pm on 1 February) to attract the hikers to a fake aid post (under the cedar tree).
From the point of view of the 3 attackers this fire was a tactical success which allowed to separate the 9 hikers into 3 groups easier to defeat separately
1) - Kolgomorova and Slobodin were knocked out one after the other during the descent to the cedar.
Of the remaining 7 who reached the cedar:
2) - Doroshenko, Dyatlov and then Krivonischenko, who stayed near the dazzling fire to benefit from the heat, were successively isolated and thus easily defeated.
3) - The 3 remaining men (Z,K and TB), who were politically more experienced and (therefore) more distrustful, joined by Dubinina who was worried since her enigmatic setbacks in Vizhay, went to hide in the Den.
Unfortunately, the last four to survive were finally, but with difficulty, found, and their corpses, thrown into the Ravine, bear the characteristic scars of the sadism and the fury of the attackers.
