I've considered a hidden winch but I'm concerned with it being interfered by my bull bar. If I can find a decent winch bumper for cheap, I might go that route, but honestly I rarely travel alone. My AR trip was the only time I've gone alone to an area like that and I was thankful I had traction boards as well as a handheld HAM in the event something did happen. But I also had cell service. That might be an anomaly, but it was reassuring. Regardless, my next rig WILL have a winch on it.For recovery, especially if you travel solo, a winch is a must IMHO. I'm doing a hidden winch mount with my stock bumper on my WJ, I'll let you know how it all goes.
As for first aid, I really need to step-up my supplies and knowledge there. Any good resources you suggest?

As for first aid, I started out with a simple kit I found in an outdoors store. It was cheap but needed. I added some things to it I thought might be helpful, like more nitrile gloves, hand sanitizer, and a mylar blanket. Then I purchases a better one that was more complete and held more. I combined the two and I've added in some more meds and tourniquets. Best resources I've found were from FieldCraft Survival and the Overland Bound First Aid videos. @El Solis is a super cool and nice guy. He has been helpful outside of all the videos when it comes to building out a first aid kit. I know mine still is lacking, but I keep adding things here and there that make me feel better about its capabilities.
