[QUOTE="KSB209, post: 2219943, member: 83819"] Cant say I’ve never been on an over night hunting or camping trip with at least a little bit of alcohol but if the elevation gets to you stay away from it a week before and during. Drink a lot of water leading into the trip too. I’ve only had a problem one time and that was when I got over 13k feet. I was a lot younger and drank a lot more back then. The last 4-5 times since I have cut out all alcohol at least 3 days before and drink water. Have t had a problem since and I live at sea level. if you go the medication route I would suggest trying it before you are on top of the mountain. I got something (don’t remember what it was) that I tried a couple weeks before a trip and It made me feel real weird and I would want to experience that in top of a mountain hours (or days) from help.
