Another couple things you can try to help with altitude sickness. 1) drink lots of water. Lots. It will help thin the blood a little which helps. 2) Take aspirin. Again...helps to thin the blood. 3) Drink some more water. 4) Don't drink alcohol as it dehydrates you. Otherwise...just time. And man...i love the addition of those hash browns. I never thought of using those to add to burritos. Man, you and the family have to come down to San Diego and get a California burrito. You'd love it.
He is some advice. Academy and some other outdoors stores have these small cans of compressed 100% O2 that you can take a puff from. This can accelerate your acclimatization and/or prevent serious problems. You guys were showing symptoms of hypoxia, the lack of oxygen to the brain. Having these cans in your first aid kids can prevent some major problems or help acclimatization. They are pretty cheap too.
Agreed. I bought a pack of those oxygen cans when we went to CO in August and they came in handy. Felt like Mel Brooks in the Spaceballs movie huffing that canned air but it helped quite a bit.
Having climbed many mountains including all of the Colorado 14ers, best advice besides acclimatization is hydrate hydrate hydrate. If your piss is yellow you are not hydrated. The drug Diamox might work for some people that have severe affects from altitude. Some people are just more prone to it than others. Another symptom is throwing up. One of the trails that people tend to leave off because of it not having a pass is Placer Picayune Gulch. Goes over 12,500 ft and has gorgeous views. Easy 4x4 road too.
You just always manage to capture the most spectacular views and fabulous scenery! And the music goes with it all beautifully. And look at you getting all fancy with the onion and cilantro! Nice. Really enjoy your adventures.
Yep. I live at 64 ft above sea level. First night in the San Juan's I camped at 10,000 ft. Was rough. Didn't really get the headache, but the heart pounding was scary. Next night was 11,200 ft close to the trail head of Black Bear pass. Whew, used up a can of recreational oxygen. After 3 nights it started getting better. After 8 days up there followed by 16 days around Moab getting back to 64 ft I only breath about 8 times a day. Hahaha. Great video brother!
Kevin, well fyi, after your comments from Alaska about Alex, and his story" Into the wild" I found the audio book , with several holds on it at the Indpls library. It's my turn and I am just into the first chapters, but what a story. Like most people I think, I just can't understand him. Thanks for your info , I hope others will ck. it out.
Kevin as a pilot I got to tell you brother I was seeing signs of hypoxia. At minimum you both should carry a blood oxygen sensor. Their not that expensive. Years ago I used to have very mild sleep apnea and was on a C-Pap machine. Even now when I I travel to high elevations I bring it, and I’m not ashamed to use it. Or in an emergency use it on someone else.
"Silver" Looks a whole lot aggressive, tough, cool and beautiful at the same with the new full front bumper(black) and the rear with swing outs. I mean it looks better than the old low pro colour match bumper.
Hey guys. I've just watched a few of your videos & I really like what I've seen. I love the Overland drives. Also love that you are a Toyota Guy, so am I. Cheers from Andrew all the way from Queensland Australia. 😎
My wife and I had a similar experience our first night in Colorado . We camped at 11700 our first night and we both felt terrible. The locals we met the next morning all said to drink lots and lots of water which did help, but it did take about three days to feel good again
Strongly suggest the next time (if known) that you will be camping or just exploring above tree line or anything above 10K drink tons of water - hyrdation helps with altitude sickness - that is what you are experiancing and it affects everyone diifferently. Lots and lots of water - the earlier you can start drinking prior to climbing the easier the aclimation will be. We live at 9K and still have to drink lots of water before climbing or camping at higher altitudes. H2O adds oxygen to your blood streem which helps with the lack of oxygen your lungs are getting the higher you go. Just a suggestion from experiance - be safe.
Coming from Florida any time i travel west In the mountains i bought a few o2 bottles from Amazon and slept with my cpap. It worked for me, ask the doctor c what they say what is best for you.
Speaking of Starlink. I just received an email from them saying the Starlink in motion service is now available. That will be the next game changer. Having internet while on the move.
12.5 is a lot to ask for an overnight...especially early in a trip. I feel like you guys really aren't that out of shape...because I personally know what that feels like. My first 2 trips to CO I was in decent shape, but my last one I was not. Overweight and no cardio and it made it bad. First night at 9500'...sleeping in the back of my 100 series...windows cracked but likely a buildup of co2...I would try to take a deep breath and couldn't fully catch my breathe...led to mini panic attack states. Next night over 10K...same. Couldn't fully catch my breathe, didn't sleep well. Slight panic. Then I dropped back down around 9K in Silverton and stayed at a hostile. Decent sleep at that point...still not the best. Met up with a friend and spent the afternoon at 12-13K on trails. Massive headache...felt horrible. Dropped down to 11K and that's where we found a camp area. Expected horribly panicked sleep, but had either acclimated or just was so exhausted I slept well, even without my pillow which I left at the hostile. Turned and burned over Ophir to grab it before leaving...anyway morale of the story, I refuse to head back to elevation before I get some decent cardio in...that was a truly miserable experience...
Kevin, would those cans of oxygen you see at gas stations help with the altitude issues? I picked one up last time I was out in Colorado and carry it with me now for just such type issues.
In Top Gear they just took Viagra. 😅 I read an article about it afterwords that shows adjustment to altitude happens much faster in those that took the little blue pill vs a placebo. I live at 5300’ in Colorado so I normally don’t feel any symptoms up to 13000’. Im too out of shape to hike the 14ers so I haven’t tested for altitude sickness that high.
Hope I don't risk any revenue loss as I am not sure you get a commission off of those links, but REI has a similar fire pit for $109 right now. Half price. I have it and it works great. Delete if necessary. :-)
@@LifestyleOverland actually stew in Spanish is caldo. Typically it's meat cooked in juices. In Latin countries asada is cooked over a grill. In American culture, it's done over a griddle, especially by the street vendors. I guess it's because it's easier than toting a live charcoal for around. Lol

The deer at the end! Awesome.
That was cool seeing those deer just deering in the background while you cooked and ate.
I feel ya on that altitude! The older I get, the more it affects me.

Love seeing Jason on the channel again. I'm glad you 2 became friends!
Oh I can't wait for this one!
We're stoked too!
Not surprised to say another enjoyable episode! Beautiful views and good finds! Now it's time for dinner because it always makes me hungry!
Thanks for riding along!

18:35 That deer right behind Swellrunner!
Heh for the propane fire pit grate, get some 1' flat steel and form it around the edge of the fire pit, and then weld it to the grate..
That's a solid option but I've been shopping around for something anyone can install to make it easy. I think I've got the solution inbound!
@@LifestyleOverland I will keep an eye out for in upcoming episodes
I got a chance to see Colorado trails this year and I want more! Definitely coming back maybe in the Fall next year.
Love this state so much!
We've got everything from mild to wild, Michael.
@@brunnie I believe it...and we got good weather when we went to. Can't imagine how winter can affect these trails condition
Mmm mmm MMMMPH. What a good show. And great food!
Thanks, bud! It was great to explore this with ya!
i love that area we go up there on our rzr, you just cant beat colorado for off roading.

Damn I love your videos, I am so excited to start overlanding with the 4runner that I gonna get soon!
Thanks so much! Hope to see you out there!

When I cooked on the fire pit I just put the pan directly on the rocks, worked great!
That deer sure snuck up on you guys.She could probably smell something good 👍

10:15 did I miss in a previous video that you stopped running a front sway bar?
This man eats better in the wilderness than I do at home lol
Gourmet food is the second cardinal rule of Overlanding. It's right behind having an Instagram-worthy rig with RTT and all the shiny bits.

Amazing 😻

Kevin, how did the toyota do at that altitude? Awesome video as always
Interesting. I haven't found any issues with altitude other than getting a little winded when hiking. Maybe it is a genetics thing.
One day you should come by Clarksville and i will make that grill work for your stove.
Great
Visit creede and Silverton 👍
Man those carne tacos looked freeking good.
So delicious!
The cast-iron may be heavy, but once it is seasoned it will be an amazing piece to have with you. I love watching the episodes.. well done as always.

What time of year was this shot?
Nice one ! From what I hear Viagra is good for high altitude sickness although I don't know about the side effects ...
Sounds like a hard circumstance either way. 😂
Stealth deer at 18:26!!!
One almost had it's head in the 4Runner at one point. I think folks had been feeding them

In early winter I woke up at 2 am hungry nauseous headache could barely cook barely eat worst sickness ever
A little bourbon always help with elevation 🥃
I'm a weird one, I always sleep great at elevation. Then again, I'm weird. 😁
Good eats. That is carne guizada though, not asada. Still good though.
How so?
@@LifestyleOverland because it's fried in a pan, not on the grill.
My understanding is it's stewed vs. grilled.
