[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1247442, member: 54178"] Jerry, Altitude (above 6,000 ft.) can tire you if not acclimated and if you don't have a good aerobic base of training. That's the necessary basic conditioning required. To help me at altitude I take three NO2 tablets one hour before or after breakfast as per the directions. NO2 is time released L-Arginine,an amino acid that releases dissolved nitRIC gasses into your blood (not nitrous). Like Cialis but in a milder form this time-released form of L-Arginine dilates your blood vessels for better blow supply to you lungs for better O2 uptake and gives your muscles better blood flow. It also helps rid you of lactic acid from the muscles to avoid cramping. NO2 comes in either "Red" or Black". I prefer "Red". You can buy it at GNC and it's not a cheap date but well worth it. As for light gear light Gore-Tex boots are the first thing to look at. A pound of weight on the foot is like two pounds on the back in terms of calories burned and effort required. There are a couple of ways to make light boots warmer. Contact me about this with a PM and I can explain. Or go to the "Backpack Hunting" forum and look for the thread on "Footwear Versatility Success". I explained it there. Even Len Bacus is trying my tried and true method. Also synthetic clothing is not only lighter than cotton or wool (once wool becomes damp from sweat) but synthetics dry far faster than wool. AVOID COTTON at all costs. Winter backpackers and backcountry skiers have a saying, "cotton kills" and it's true. Once cotton gets wet it stays wet until brought indoors to dry. Wet clothing conducts heat away rapidly and that's bad in winter. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
