A head bolt heater is typically used to help start a car. But you need access to a power source. If this not available, bringing the battery inside to keep it warm, is also a big help. At 20 below, the output is drastically reduced. Spraying starting fluid into a carburetor is also useful help. Heat to the battery, oil pan or the carburetor will make a big difference. Just don't start it on fire.
I used to live in Minnesota, where it does get quite cold. Moving to California solved all those problems.
