GMRS vs Citizens' Band (2-way Radios)

So I'm wondering how long we'll be able to continue with CB radios on our rigs... They seem like a dying breed in the US...

I want a WATERPROOF (not water resistant) radio that I can turn the hose on if needed. Can't seem to find one. Heck, it's getting harder and harder to find ANY.

GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service) radios are getting more and more range... but they're still "line-of-sight," but they are nice and compact, can be carried on a person instead of a rig... (might be nice security for those walks through the woods in the middle of the night to get to the "bathroom" ...watch your step!) but if you want to go legit... $85 for a 5 year GMRS license from the FCC??

Guess I'll just buy several CB radios and some quick-disconnect wire connectors... :o
