Lots of suggestions. Here are more.

1. If I had to RON in cold country, paid for a hanger.

2. If parked outside, pulled engine through a dozen or so times. Then
gave the intake a shot or two of ether and cranked. When ether fired
engine would start running and you could then warm up normally prior
to take off.

Still have one or two of the little cans of ether on my msc. shelf in
shop. Can be bought at any auto parts store.

Small and light weight so can be thrown in baggage compartment and
forgotten until needed.

One idea I heard was to use flex ducting to direct car exhaust into
the cowling; that does present CO concerns, but on could leave the a/c
doors open. - Mike
