[QUOTE="jessej, post: 2220185, member: 24557"] My experience. Live at 100 feet above sea level. Hunt/camp at 11000 feet every September. Travel 1600 miles from home. First night is a hotel at 6k feet. Next morning buy supplies, then go up to 11k feet. We take the last 5000 foot ascent slow. ( 3-4 hours). We have done this for many years. I’ve saw 1 guy in our group get sick to the point of having to descend, he refused any treatment at camp. On every other occasion, at the beginning of symptoms, (headache nausea) medical oxygen through a cannulas for a hour or so straightened them out. I’ve also saw diamox help. I’m a big ole boy, not in great shape. I carry an oximeter in the mountains. When setting up camp, my levels will drop into the mid 80s. But I don’t feel bad. The reason is strictly a guess, but this is it. 3 of us in the hunting party are free divers. We never show any symptoms. All summer, we are in the water holding our breath while spearfishing. I think our bodies are conditioned to the lack of oxygen. What say you, doctors of the LRH forum? [/QUOTE]
