Excursion Tire chains and cold starts?

Hey guys, I'm taking a trip up to Canada in a couple of weeks and wondering if anyone could recommend a good brand of tire chains? Perhaps a set that is easy to install and uninstall as I will be doing quite a bit of mixed dry/snow/ice road driving. Also wondering if there is a device out there to help keep the engine block warm while I'm parked at a trailhead far away from a power source? I have a solar battery tender that 'should' take care of the battery but as for my PSD block heater, I'll have nothing to plug into. Temps could be below zero at times. Any help you can send my way would certainly be appreciated! Thanks, Graham

I have a set of these v-bar chains for my rear tires. AMAZING bite! Some of the snow I've gone through with these is unbelievable.

And I have a set of these SCC Super Z LTs for my front wheels.

Just my experience. Hopefully you'll get other recommendations as well.
