I'm from Fairbanks, but I live in Austin now, so I feel ya. Definitely layers, especially when you go ice fishing. 2 socks. They also have those hand warmers you activate and put in your pocket and shoes. HotHands from Amazon, they last around 7 hours, maybe?
Here's what I used to wear when I'd go snomachining when it was -20 degrees: winter hat, neckwarmer, t-shirt, long sleeve shirt or turtleneck?, jacket, tights/long johns, jeans , snow pants?, 2 socks (1st one is short, 2nd is taller), insulated boots, gloves/mittens. That way you can take off the jacket if you get to hot, and still have your arms covered.
FYI, people just say North Pole, not The North Pole. The North Pole is in the middle of the Arctic Ocean. :)
Have an awesome trip!
Camping: Depends on what you mean. If you're the kind of person who wants to pack everything you need for a week into a backpack and walk off into the wilderness, then you will be utterly amazed at the opportunities Central Alaska offers. Camp just about anywhere you want. The area abounds with inviting-looking hills. Pick one that isn't too near town & go for it.
On the other end of the scale, if you like numbered campsites, picnic tables, fire pits, and outhouses, then you can start by driving 40 miles east of town on Chena Hot Springs Road to Granite Tors Campground. There are a couple of nice trails nearby. 10 miles more down the road is Angel Rocks, a nice day hike around interesting rock formations that a reasonably fit family can take. Various longer trails are in the area as well.
Regardless, get yourself a copy of a book called Milepost. It lists every major road in Alaska, and everything there is to see on each road. It's very comprehensive. You can buy it in Fairbanks in gas stations, grocery stores, etc. (or here). A new version is published each year.
> Also hook up a trickle charger to your battery (these are much better than battery blankets, and not that expensive).
Second that. I want to get this for my wife's car: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000CITK8S
You can also get timers to plug into your power source so it only comes on every other hour or however often you need it to (depending on how cold it is).
Or you can time it to pop on an hour before work I think if you have fancy ones. Make sure they can work in extreme cold.
My brother uses these non-digital ones and they work for him:

Edit: Also, buy the blue extension cords. They are the ones for cold weather.

Depending on your needs, you can actually get a load-balancing router and get one of each service and have them run in tandem or as a failover.
