Hawk,
I don't sell the tapes, as far as I know only the Rocky Mountain College Productions are the only ones that handle them.
Other than wanting to see what they did on edibles (which I feel could have been lengthened to do something like Baker did in his last tape). Having furnished the edibles for both these groups - Baker and Housler, I think Mark did the better job in that area. But for the rest of Jeff and Wes's work on this tape they cover a lot of information with the horse, camp and equipage, I feel it's a little crude in places, but hell their not professionals either and this is only #2, Mark's first three were equal to this one.
Yes I feel it was worth while for what I wanted to get out of it, others may feel different. I'll watch my copy many times just because I happen to get a kick out of these two old friends.
Buck

Maybe you need to sit down and have a talk with someone about your "atitude", can see having problems when standing, and being in a higher altitude (height problem). Now that I said that and will probably pay for it at the Nationals along with everthing else we have made fun of with the "Spud Gun".
"Polycythemia" is the medical name for your problem, has to do with red cell count in the blood when changing your surrounding (going higher or lower in altitude).
I read that people that live in high altitudes (above 10,000 ft.) have an increased number of red cells because the amount of oxygen in the air at this altitude is decreased, therefore the body reacts with increased red cell production. Those people move to a lower altitude, their polycythemia disappears, over a period of time.
So people going to high altitude not use to it may bring on the so-called "mountain sickness" do to having lower blood flow or red cells, usually by inadequate oxygen from the thin air. I have heard that to avoid the "sickness" approach the higher altitudes slowly for your body to adapt itself, that's hard to do when traveling on land, in a plane its done with pressure adjustments.
Drink lots of liquids, as mentioned water is the best, booze will seem to take less than usual for the same effect, anyone with health problems, over weight, etc. should see their doctor before changing to extreme altitudes as a safety measure. There are medicines available to help relieve the problem, can't remember what they were now, used to take in out of state hunters when living in Masonville CO and ones from lower to sea level altitudes did have problems, from headaches to sick in their stomach to not being able to walk any distances. Check your doctor Lanney, I know there are pills available that seem to help.

I have a query for those with medical expertise. I am bothered by altitude sickness above 8000 or 8500 feet.....my town is elev. 659 feet...and I have been told by several people that altitude sickness can be controlled by drinking lots of water...that the water not only keeps you hydrated properly, but it also supplies the body with some oxygen. "You gotta drink your oxygen." I know I feel better at high altitude when I drink lots of water. Why?
