[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2423815, member: 30902"] That actually puts you at high risk of altitude sickness. "I can work through anything" will cause you to push to hard and likely not be willing to admit it until you're already anoxic. If you have to, take three extra days and find a camp at altitude then go to your hunting camp for the hunt. Getting wobbly or even passing out toting a load on a steep mountain trail is a good way for a hunt to end in disaster. Even if you could only find a place to spend those three days at 6,000-6,500 feet would be a huge help in adapting. [/QUOTE]
