Default Going north (?) What gear should I get?

I've been kicking around the idea for the last couple of days of heading up to Fort Macmurray, in northern Alberta, for a few years to make some cash. What gear is best suited up north. I hunt here in the rockies of southern Alberta, but things are different up there. I will be hacking the barrel down on my pump shotgun to 18.5 inches for bears and such. My .308 should be up to the task of hunting the critters up there. But what about the other stuff? I think a GPS may not hurt. I have a folding saw, good boots, and other small items. What should I be looking to get before heading up north? After I do make a little extra cash, I will purchase a used ATV, and 4X4 pick-up. But other than that, what should I expect?
