Hello! I would caution against getting caught up with the MCU because there is Misery and Pain, but I would simultaneously encourage it because there is a lot of Good Stuff too, so there you go. I can totally steer away from spoilers for the later movies in just chatting about things too; I mean obviously Bucky isn't quite there yet timeline-wise, but you know what I mean.

I think an initial encounter could be fun! I'd be totally down for figuring something out as I'm sure Bucky will definitely notice someone so noisy. In the cold. When neither of them are probably equipped with a lot of survival gear, at least initially. Fun times!
