Who's brave?

- Known good battery; never been drained to dead, less than 2 years old, plenty of CCA

- 5W dino oil or synthetic (loosen up the pistons)

- known good antifreeze mixture good to -40 or better changed in past 2 years, minimum (slush in veins is bad)

- known good fuel filter (impurities collect water and freeze in filter)

- known good starter and fuel pump

- blah blah blah...

For a well maintained vehicle, this is really all that is needed. If you doubt, you have these things to try:

- fuel it up and dont shut it off

- bring battery into heat overnight or put on charger, or keep a second charged battery inside for the AM for a jump.

- battery blanket

- plugin heater for engine installed and plug it in

- park it out of the wind, or put a tarp under the hood, over the engine and sides and shut the hood and pin down the side flaps

- burn charcoal in a metal garbage can lid to coals, and put under oil pan, or any other heater

- set alarm to wake you up every 2 hours, go outside and start it, run it to operating temp, later rinse repeat

I've done them all.

I love this weather...no jet skis rocking the boat!

I'm going out as soon as I wake up tomorrow morning, setting up 4 tip-ups, and fishing from the friendly confines of the cabin!

I'll be sitting on a bucket next weekend for my bachelor party during the day...thankfully it should be a balmy 16 degrees out there!

This is minnesota, 50 above one day and -50 below next day, gotta expect this. I'm going fishing in the morning, hope the power auger starts???

Spending the night out there tonight, the only difference is going to be going out and starting my truck periodically, not cause I think it won't start, just hopefuly to reduce cold starting wear. Days like today support the belief that you can never have a heater thats to big though.
