[QUOTE="LkeAF, post: 2220594, member: 118231"] If you're just going to 7500 ft. I would say the meds are optional but not necessary. The best advice is to get there as early as you can, hydrate, and go steady. I live at 6K and hunt up to 11K and every year my nephew comes from NC to join me. The first year he puked on the way up. What he figured out was that he simply tried to go too hard. Pace yourself and try not to "red line" it. And, since I'm assuming this will be out west, know that the humidity is way low and you will dehydrate quickly. You still sweat, but it does it's job and cools you through evaporation. So you don't generally overheat or end up soaking wet (at least for very long), and therefore don't realize quite how much you've been sweating and how much fluid you've lost. It might sound weird, but pay attention to your pee. It should be pretty clear and you should go several times a day. [/QUOTE]
