We live at 200 asl. We hunt CO at times up to and over 10,000 asl.
We drive in, and straight to about 8000 typically, and head out, sometimes right away with backpacks on.
We start taking a regular 325 aspirin every day a few weeks out, then one twice a day a few days out, and then when hunting, up to 4 a day. I carry diamox just in case.
That plus cardio exercise at home helps.
Nothing helps like going gradually but we don't have the luxury of that much time off at once so its run and gun... I was 45 last time we did it. Always feel much better by the 3rd day, but can tell ya that aspirin regimen made a BIG difference when we started doing that.
