Either that or try to start every few hours. You can always do what I do, Carry a small portable generator with you to plug the block heater in to LOL. Or if you have good enough battery or extra battery (or any startable vehicle nearby in an emergency) an inverter
to hook to your battery and plug it in to that for a while.
LOL but I have actually done this to get cold natured tractor started etc.
I have a better idea... simply install a Webasto TSL17, (AKA Thermo Top C), diesel fueled engine coolant heater, and be completely rid of your cold start problems forever.

Does it work? Better than your wildest dreams! You will not have to idle your vehicle any more to warm it up; it'll already be hot if you run the heater about 40 minutes, even at -40 degrees. You also now have room for a larger Group 65 battery.
