It depends on where you're hiking. Where I live, there are rules about camping on state and federal land. If you're on an established trail that allows camping, there are usually set camp sites along the way. Find a guide book or website with info about the trail, and see what it says.

Bad idea... bad, BAD idea! If the car was flooded as bad to make you worry about this, drop it like a toxic hot potato, and don't buy it. You could have damaged electronics, you could have mold, you could have rust issues, you could mechanical problems from water in the transmission...

Some do. But not all.

Does it pull to one side or another? It could be an alignment problem. Were the tires balanced while on the car? It's possible for the whole wheel assembly to be out of balance even if the tire is OK.

Which has a better chance of having more industry in its home country or area? France or Germany?

It's always possible if you want to spend the time and money engineering a one-off application, and you have the talent and ambition to do so. But a turbo on a 17 year old truck hardly makes sense, unless there's something about this truck that makes it special. Keep in mind that IF you are...

In some cases, yes. But not all. Nothing cranks out megawatts like a big nuclear power plant. The same output from biomass would require a huge facility, and create a lot of pollution. Matching that power output with a solar plant would take up many square miles of space for the solar...

Ask the lawyer why he's doing this. Maybe there's a good reason for it. Edit - in the US, clients can file a complaint with the Bar Association if they have problems with a lawyer's actions. Find out what the equivalent group or licensing board is in Scotland, and see if they can help.

A 550 is a big bike to learn on, unless you're a big guy - like 200 lbs or better. Even then, it's enough that it could get away from you and give you a close-up lesson on the meanings of the words "road rash". If you're young, or small, or especially both, I'd go for something in the 175-350...

The 2nd longest was Michigan to Florida, towing a travel trailer, and taking my family on vacation. It took 3 days. The longest was the trip home, Florida to Michigan, with the same trailer and family, plus my mother-in-law. It took 2 days.

It looks like a fisheye lens with the camera pointing back up at the rider. There are any number of camera mounts available. Look for one with a clamp that mounts on whatever part of the bike you want to use. I found some likely ones by doing a search for "camera mounts". Then you just...

Check the owner's manual and see what it's rated to tow. Don't forget to add the weight of the trailer to the weight of the car. My guess is that it's not rated for this much, though. If you do decide to do this, I'd at least consider putting a transmission cooler on the tow vehicle. If you...

First of all - you need to practice the skills you'll need before you get to the backside of beyond, or you'll either kill yourselves, injure yourselves, need rescuing, or have a lousy time. Go to the local Boy Scouts office, and look for the merit badge books on backpacking, camping...

Take up something you enjoy. If you don't like it, it will be a drudgery and you won't stick with or excel at it. Try some different things to see what works for you. Racquetball, basketball, softball, tennis, volleyball, fencing, judo, karate, golf, horseback riding, jogging, track...

Club 33, if you can afford it and get reservations. Oh, wait - that's at DisneyLand, not DisneyWorld. Still, it's pretty cool that Uncle Walt had a secret restaurant that is so exclusive.
