Found in the kayaking/canoeing sections. Do wonders to keep the smell contained.
For the power supply--think about hooking it up to a USB charger (like a phone backup). If you're willing to pay a lot, Voltaic has some truly excellent solar-charging battery kits; you could leave it running outside indefinitely with one of those. (You may be able to find an equally good option for less money elsewhere--I don't know.)
Another good way would be to use an efficient DC-DC converter with alkaline batteries. I've had very good luck with Pololu's voltage regulators.
Definitely don't use a voltage divider as your power supply...it will either fail to deliver enough current, get the voltage wrong, waste a whole lot of power, or some combination of those. You can use the Arduino's built-in regulator if your battery is over about 7V, but that's wasteful.
Here's a good weatherproof enclosure that I like a lot. It's easy to drill holes for things that need to be outside; you can seal them with epoxy or hot glue. Be sure to protect it from the sun or it might bake your electronics inside.
