First, I live at the grand altitude of 650' above sea level, where the air is thick and humid and is hard to breath. In a couple weeks I'll be going on my first elk hunt at elevations around 8500 to 10,000'. I've heard and have read alot about altitude sickness, or just the fatigue of trying to breathe thin air. This will be a two week hunt and I'll have a few days to acclimate myself, but I'm trying to find ways that will make it easier to adjust to the thin air. I have been running alot trying to strengthen my lungs, but that's about it.
Anyone, especially low altitude folks that have done this type hunt, have any advice on best ways to prepare?
