“I live at sea level and my first snowboarding trip of 2018 was during Mammoth’s opening weekend. I went up with a friend and we went shopping around town that Saturday evening. While my friend browsed, I sat there feeling very off with my head getting heavier and feeling variations of overheating and being too cold. One of the shop employees handed me a Boost Oxygen can for me to try. I took two puffs (inhale and hold it in for a couple seconds) and within a few minutes, I felt like myself again (no joke).
El domingo compramos un par de botes para el ascensor y, de camino a casa, volvimos a pasar por la tienda para abastecernos. ¡Estos han sido un cambio de juego!

In the last year, I’ve been more sensitive to altitude as my body takes the time to acclimate. Boost Oxygen helps your body as you’re acclimating, almost like a supplement that helps the acclimation process. But if you are feeling severe Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) or High-Altitude Pulmonary Edema (HAPE), you need to descend to lower elevations quickly. That is the only cure for AMS and HAPE.
In the winters I snowboard (mainly at Mammoth) and in the summers I hike at high altitude all over the Sierra Nevada’s and I’ve been keeping a stock of these cans at home so I can grab and go when I hit the mountain. These cans weigh almost nothing, so to all the backpackers out there worried about your pack-weight, these won’t make it any heavier.
Tanto si estamos a 7.000 pies como a 11.000 pies o más, todos los miembros del grupo acaban pasándose el bidón de oxígeno, resoplando por turnos.
GAME CHANGER!"
Soy Jenny y escribo un blog llamado Campsite Vibes. Mi primera experiencia de acampada y altitud fue en 2014 y fue un poco desastre, pero me enamoré de las montañas y he ido aprendiendo y ampliando mis conocimientos sobre lo que hace falta para salir de verdad al aire libre.
Quiero compartir consejos y trucos que he aprendido en mis aventuras al aire libre. Desde dónde ir, cómo planificar viajes, cómo entrenar para caminatas más largas, los entresijos del equipo y cómo superar lo que te frena y simplemente salir al aire libre.
