If you haven`t already done it, change all your engine water hoses for new and best quality. A tired and stiff hose will fracture very easily. under cold conditions. The water pump may also be a contender for change if it`s still the original, and check the rad thoroughly as well. Personal gear must include lots of thin layers with long sleeves, and a personal favourite of mine silk glove liners. Three pairs of good gloves minimum, one for spare , one for drying out if wet and one to wear.
Hope you have a good trip.
