I take a full sized aspirin each day for at least a week before I’m out there. Ten days is even better. Not the baby aspirin.

Hydrate hydrate hydrate all the time when I’m in the timber. Even when I’m not thirsty (that’s important). I live in SW GA which is 200’ above sea level. To go straight to 10,000’- 12,500’ takes its toll on me. Usually three days to acclimate. The aspirin and H2O help.


You only live once, but...if you do it right, once is enough.
