For a texan, thet feller makes purdy good sense. I' ve seed a lot of altitude sickness. Sometimes its mild, sometimes the victim has to go down NOW! Even doctors that bring cases of mediceens ain' t immune to having a trip ruint. Drinkin' water is the simplist way to minimize the effects. Also helps with fatigue. Gettin' there early will help some, but you gotta git to altitude where yer huntin' , which ain' t easy. Now I got this injun friend who swears thet he can bleed you an' make you immune to altitude sickness. He takes ' bout a pint of yer blood, mixes it in with some dogmeat an' trout stew, cooks it for hours, then makes you eat it all. Seems reasonable to me.
