We are very happy to see and hear that we helped your at-altitude hiking experience! Thank you for sharing it; sharing your Boost with a fellow hiker AND sharing your story. It's genuine feedback like this that helps people really understand - and this is what we are passionate about, helping people...Help Is Here!
How about you label the % of oxygen rather than stating 95% pure. Where that is 95% pure aviators air. Which is around 21% oxygen. At elevations where oxygen is not diminished can you explain how this product helps ? I would LOVE to hear the benefits of this over just breathing.
@@stevenwhitesell4066 Hello Steven - our canisters are indeed full of 95% pure oxygen. We have been tested by major labs - you can read the results at: blog.boostoxygen.com/scientific-studies-that-support-the-benefits-of-boost-oxygen
Oxygen deprivation at only 10,000' doesn't mean "take an oxygen hit and keep climbing." It means you need to get back down and acclimate before continuing. Ten thousand feet is not not high altitude. Pilots are not required to turn on the oxygen generators until they hit 14,000'. If you feel bad at 10,000' for safety's sake you need to get to a lower altitude fast. Cerebral Edema and/or Pulmonary Edema follow oxygen depravation. I've been living and climbing in the Rockies most of my long life and have watched mountain rescue risking their own lives to bring down people who over-estimated their level of conditioning. This is not about being tough and driving on. It isn't about how tough you are. It's about how smart you are. If you are grimacing from oxygen depravation as Mr. Duncan seems to be doing in this video, you need to get to a lower altitude and acclimate.
Very good points! As always, safety’s first! Seems like you’re very well versed with hiking high altitudes. However, I’m not. I’m learning as I go. I was a 220lb power lifter at the time who needed more oxygen into my body than I felt I was breathing in. Oxygen Boost did it for me, making hiking more enjoyable. With living alongside the beach where oxygen is plentiful to hiking +10k ft. for cheap thrills, I easily noticed what I lacked, which caused me to slow down. Oxygen Boost became a Godsend when I saw it in the store. Especially after testing it and experiencing the difference.
@@AlphonsoDuncan Hi there..I will be climbing Mt Kinabalu 13440 feet. Do you advise to take this Oxygen Boost along since I am not a frequent hiker, 13440 feet would be the highest mountain I am attempting to climb. I workout at the gym 3 x a week for approx 1 hour. Thanks in advance 😊
HI THERE, THANKS. I AM 78 YRS. OLD AND LIVE IN WAIMEA, BIG ISLAND OF HAWAII. WE ARE AT 3,000 FT. WE HAVE THREE LARGE VALCANOS AT: 14,000 FT. BACK IN 2014, I SPENT 8 HOURS UP ON THE SUMIT OF MAUNA KEA PROTESTING. THANK GOD THERE WERE EMERGENCY UNITS THERE. I WAS MESSED UP. I MADE 30 VIDEOS THAT DAY. I NEVER NOTICED HOW HARD I WAS BREATHING WHILE TALKING. BOY DID I GET A ROYAL ASS CHEWING OUT FROM MY TWO HEART AND LUNG SPECIALISTS. THEN THEY BOTH GOT ME AT THE SAME TIME. I AM TO WEAR BOTTLED OXYGEN WHEN EVER I GO UP FROM NOW ON. ITS NOT LIKE JUMPING OUT OF AIRPLANES IN THE 101 AIBOURNE WHEN YOU ARE 16.
In 2014, I climbed Mt. Elbert in Colorado (14,440 ft) with my 11-year-old and 14-year-old sons - all of us experienced hikers. We were well aware of the possible high-altitude complications. My 11-year-old used Boost a few times on the way up and my 14-year-old used it after we returned to the trailhead (~10,000 ft). It made a huge difference for both of them. People often make fun of Boost, as if they expect it will give them a high or something - I'm guessing these people have never experienced high-altitude oxygen deprivation.
The situations you described are good uses for this product. The oxygen at 10,000 feet is like 14.5% so using a product that has 21% oxygen makes sense. I make fun of people that use this product at 2000 feet and think it helps. It has no more oxygen than the ambient air. So many think the 95% pure means 95% oxygen when it is actually 95% aviators air which is 21% oxygen.
@@stevenwhitesell4066 I live in the PNW, so we cross the cascade mountains (and hike in them) frequently, which are 3,000ft to 6,000ft. Never needed oxygen for myself or any of my young kids. However, we are taking a long driving adventure/camping through the mountains in another state soon and we'll be above 12,000ft at a few points, might even camp at those altitudes. To be safe I went ahead and bought a bottle of Boost Oxygen. Figured better safe than sorry. For non-athlete's I think very next best thing is for those who go to high altitudes. We live at sea level, so our bodies are acclimated to normal oxygen saturated air.
Hahaha, I worked construction at 10,000’ 5 days a week for 3 years and never noticed a difference between that and the 5000’ I live at 😂 this guys weak
You live at that elevation so your body is acclimated to it. Try living at sea level then suddenly hike at 10,000ft...it's a major difference and the body needs time to adjust. While adjusting it can be rough.
@@577buttfan not even close. It's only 21% oxygen in the bottle. They market it as 95% but it's not. Read the disclaimer on their website. Such a scam.
@@577buttfan unfortunately anything over 21% oxygen is considered medical grade oxygen. Which a prescription from a doctor is needed. Best way to test the oxygen concentration is with an o2 analyzer. Which isn't cheap.
Used this stuff at Rocky Mountain National Park, made a hell of a difference
nice... I'm going there, too, so looking at reviews
Ahh Mt.Baldy. There was a dude who would summit that every day for about 2 years. He was 70+ years old.
Once you get your cardi base and your acclimation, you can hit the mountains for decades
would have been great to see an oximeter value and an after value with the Boost Oxygen.
Amazon reviews read 25%
It’s about 83% it’s aviators oxygen..
@@jmshkm that's about what the other video I watched says, 85%
Music is too loud in the video.
I lost 10k a few years back investing in a stock of a company that went bankrupt. I wonder if this stuff would make me feel a little better.
The wind prevented me from hearing what you said at the 10K. Thanks for the video
and the loud background music too
Appreciate you sharing. I was on the fence with this exact same product.

I filled my kids birthday balloons with this. They wouldn't float!
Thank you Mr. Godless Duncan for your review!
This bout to be the next wave for festival goers
Couldn't hear you because of the wind but I could tell by your face that it helped immediately.
I know right! It’s like life in a bottle.
Used these in Breckenridge last January......helped out a great deal......
Does it save in critical coronavirus episode?
Thank you
Try that on Mt Elbert. Over 14,000.
Thank you.
I live in 5 thousand feet elevation
Can you use this underwater diving?
thank you alphonso!
can u take it in airplanes

I love yo edits mannn
Well gat damn 😂
Bros acting like he’s just barely surviving at 9000ft. I LIVE at that elevation 😭
Have you ever heard of heavy drinkers developing a tolerance to the effects of drinking alcohol? That's what happened to you essentially.
@@samueladams7952 I live at 5000 feet and I go up to 13,000 feet every day in the winter with no issues

Mt. Baldy is 5,500 ft. and Big Bear is 7,000 ft. at the Butlers peak. Just saying. Breath normal! Just breath through it every other breath works.
Mt. Baldy town maybe, but Mount San Antonio, aka Mt. Baldy, peaks at 10,000+.
🎉 😂
Waste of money
LMAO puff puff pass.
Congrats on spending money on air
