Should I let my cats roam free in car on 8 hour car trip?

We are going on a trip this summer. We took them on a 5 hour car trip last summer, but they were much smaller and fit in the crate a lot better. They’ve been in the car a lot so they don’t freak out or anything, in fact, all they really want to do is look out the window. I’m mostly just afraid they’re going to have to potty and can’t get to the litter box. We’re taking a Rodeo and there is plenty of room to have their crate so they can go in and sleep, their litter box, and food. I know that people say they can get under feet and cause and accident but I think I could keep them from doing that (I’m not driving). Anyway I was just wondering if anyone else had ever done this.

To the ones who know about fish: a plecostumus, how many days can it survive without food?

My cousin told me it can last more than a week. I left him 4 days without food and it didnt die (I wasnt experimenting, I went away on a trip and couldnt come back on time).
My pleco is alone in it’s tank. There is no other fish. It is interesting how much he has grown since I got him. He’s been more than one year with me, and I got him really small.

A good outdoors hiking/backpacking hammock?

I am planning this massive backpacking trip across america, most of which will be spent in a wilderness survival sort of thing. (To really test my bush craft skills.) I have a tent, but I only planned on using it in impending rain. So I thought a portable hammock would be a nice way to camp. The problem is that I hate going through google trying to find one… So if you could give me a link to a good one, preferably military style, that doesn’t have to steep a price, that would be great. Five stars to the one I decide to buy.

Preserving Fruit?

My wife is going to go on a retreat next year and she is supposed to take only food grown in our yard. As well as other things we have strawberries, cherries, apples and grapes. She won’t have a cooler on the trip.

What is the best way to preserve this food for next year? I’m thinking about dehydrating it. Will this food dehydrate well? Would it last until next year? Is it OK to freeze it before or after dehydrating it? Any better ways to preserve it?

Thanks!
She needs to eat only food we grow, so we’re trying save up this year’s and next year’s crops.
Can you freeze AND dehydrate? It’ll need to be dry for when she’s out there, but I’m thinking it might need to be frozen too, just so it survives until next year.

What do you need on a survival camping trip?

Me and my friends are doing a survival thing, going out in the woods for two nights to test our survival skills. We need to know the basic survival needs to bring with. We don’t want to go back to the house for anything. We want it to seem like survival. Not a ton of items that are unnecessary.
Thanks to all.
