I've used those plastic margarine bowls to freeze water into blocks, after cleaning them real well. If I don't fill them all the way up, I can keep the top on. They seem to last a long time, and they are also drinking water if kept sealed. Probably could use Rubbermaid or Tupperware containers the same way. The cool part about that is, the ice can sit in the middle or up top.
Cut up a lemon or lime, and freeze it in the water, then dump the whole block out of the tub and into a 5 gallon drinking bucket, and it's awesome for hot summer days. Very thirst quenching.
.
Really enjoyed using the Back Country Navigator. It's a lot more work up front compared to map and compass, but it's cool to follow along.
Seems like iPhone users really like the Gaia app (which sounds similar in concept). I considered it for the Android, but not enough feed back yet. There is a sub-forum here for radios, GPS and communications. Might be worth while to read through that section.
.
Since you are looking at a winch and an OBA, have you considered the Warn Power-plant? Not sure if it will fit your rig, but both the winch and the compressor section are very good. Had I not got such a smoking deal on the 9.5cti, I'd probably have gone this way. Just one less thing to wire up, pack and store.
.
Stock Jeep rear bumper makes like a 7 or 8 gallon water tank. Not potable, but could be filtered, and there is a pretty cool kit available inexpensively to make it powered.
.
Good luck on your choices. :beer:
