Make sure you are either wearing on have on board, WARM clothes

My instructor liked to say: "Remember, every time you go out for a
crosscountry flight, you are volunteering for an overnight camping
trip."
I have not yet switched over to winter flying clothes. Happily, in the
Cub, there is not much difference between what you wear as PIC and
what you'd want to wear in the woods.
I don't carry snowshoes, but I do carry a cell phone. That's to call
911 and tell them to send the local snowmobile club after me
