Loving your videos. I've been looking for a good resource to help in transitioning knowledge and skills from the hospital into the backcountry, so I'm thrilled to have found your channel!

In my last 4 altitude climbs, I've used 125 mg BID of diamox starting two days before my climb. I continue the dose the day before the climb and the day of the climb. No issues with altitude sickness since starting this regimen.

I use the Garmin 66i. Great for letting my wife I have arrived at a refugio or bivi. Also she can track me so if a fall and am incapacitated and can't push the SOS button she would realise there was a problem by the lack of movement and call on our local service,.

[@alistairhunter5724]

I use the inreach on my Garmin 66i to let my wife track mecehen I am up in the mountains and will send her a a preset message to let I am on plan . ie reached refugio or bivi ok .
