I just did Van to edmonton and back in a slammed gti last week. Most important thing to bring is your brain. Drive a little slower when the roads are bad, winter tires are a must, and for fucks sake I can't stress this enough, don't drive tired. You need your reaction time if your tail decides to skip out a bit. As far as materials, lots of windshield washer fluid, zip ties, water to drink, some food, warm clothing, blankets, a pillow, lots of cds or iPod. Make sure your important stuff to fix a flat is there (jack, tire iron, WHEEL LOCK KEYS, properly inflated spare) charge your phone. Chains aren't necessary if you are on proper winters, and you shouldn't even think about driving it if you don't have proper winters.
