Question B206/TH-67, Tips Startup following cold night on mtn

Looking for tips in prepping and managing a B206 engine start when the machine has been siting overnite on a snowy mountian top. Say. -10c/14f, its -4 at start. Elevation, say .. 6,500 feet ASL

I have inlet covers, Honda 1000 (110v, 8amp/1000 watt) generator, concord battery minder, but no Tannis heating system. Anyone use an 110v heating pads, or other warming techniques prior to start out in the middle of nowhere? Priority on M/R Gear Box, Oil sump? Or it just a manner of watching and carefully managing temps.

Thoughts?

Steve
