Some folks would also use a "dipstick" heater or "oil pan heater (had coils and bolted to the bottom of the oil pan)", especially with an air cooled vehicle like a volkswagon.
Best way to "die a young person in Alaska"?????? ...Unplug their car and get caught doing it!!!!!!

There is nothing better than living on Alton Mountain & our grand kids visits.
