Lived in Minn one winter about 50 years ago.
There were folks that had multiple batteries mounted in the back of their jeep
who made a living at $10 or $20 to jump start us dumb folks living in apartments that
were too far away to run an extension cord for a block heater. Had to pay them a few times even with a new battery(high compression GTO muscle car).

As a kid at 8 or 9 in MI, I was tasked with starting our 52 Ford in the winter for my mom.
Don't remember having a problem - just had to follow whatever procedure my dad taught me.
