Beautiful scenery you share as always. Oh no, good, you left, and I'm so glad you are feeling better. 😬 you missed your café, shows you must've bern feeling quite yucky
I used to live up in Lake Arrowhead and worked down the mountain. Drove up the Running Springs route many times … got used to the windy road. Glad you found out it was dehydration
I live at altitude and hydrating definitely helps, so does liquid chlorophyll. You can usually find it under different brand names, but any herb store or health food store at altitude will carry it. You can also get it online. It helps your body utilize the oxygen more efficiently. Just a thought.
Don’t know if it’s true, but when I was hiking up to 14,000 ft in Nepal, all the local Nepali people who lived in the mountains told me to keep eating garlic to prevent altitude sickness. So I kept nibbling it while I walked up for 7 days and never got sick. I did see others get altitude sickness and have to be flown down. Take that as you will - but I believe it and, fyi, I’m not a hiker in general and never even planned to go that high.
Bummer, I was going to suggest on your last video you come up to Big Bear. But I don’t know how delayed your videos are. We live up here, wanted to buy you a coffee at Copper Q. I’m so sorry about the altitude sickness. I’m guessing you’re correct about being dehydrated. Glad you’re feeling better.
Hey Thanks. Yes, I’m running a pretty long delay on the video uploads. I really enjoy the area, I was hoping to stay up there for a while. Appreciate your offer. With any luck, I’ll be back.
This is why if I decide to cross over out of the protection of coastal during the middle of the Summer, I do the driving at night. Don't want to breakdown in the heat. Closer than Flagstaff, Prescott offers some coolness. Running Springs is super cute, tried to buy a shack up there but got bid out.
Go WEst on Highway 46 out of BAkersfield and back to the central coast area. Beautiful and very good weather. Too hot to travel the desert, too much rain in AZ and too many fires north and east in Ca.
I hate altitude sickness. I started getting it the last five or six years when I'd go to Colorado. Let alone in the mountains. No matter how hydrated I tried to be before going there. My sister planned to take me to Glenwood springs one year and I was so sick I could barely focus. My mom, niece and nephew went too. I was in the backseat with the teenagers as we drove there. My niece kept offering me stuff and I declined. Finally I ate one potato chip she offered and felt better! So I ate more. I grabbed Gatorade at a service station and it really helped. I wasn't perfect, but my day wasn't ruined. There's a good explanation behind it, I found out online. But I'm not gonna get too long winded. So increase the sodium and electrolytes with your fluids. Take care.
While traveling through Wyoming, I combated altitude sickness by taking Iron, Vit C, Zinc, and kept hydrated. No headaches or nose bleeds. Take care of yourself 😊👍☕
Been studying altitude sickness for an upcoming trip. Here’s a few notes I have made. Hopefully other people have more. Hydrate today for tomorrow. If urine is not almost clear, you are probably dehydrated. Electrolytes matter. Get acclimated slowly take a few days to get to your destination if possible. Over hydrate for altitude.
The heat is horrid I tried to make it to Texas but holey cow it was freakin hot ... made it to El Centro and turned back to Cali ...just to hot to go onward for me . Blessings to U .
Spent the last two nights sleeping like a baby at 12,000 feet above Silverton. I've also been staying at around 10,000 feet for most of the last month. Hang in there. Or head back to the flats where the coffee is better, ha!
No coffee in the morning? Coffee is a drug you need coffee, no coffee equals headache, take care of yourself, thanks for sharing your experiences in van life
Glad you're feeling better. Yes, maybe you were weakened by the heat. Please share your research with us! It's getting tough to figure out where to go, with all the extreme weather conditions, heat, fires, storms (not to mention, the virus). Scientists say these conditions will only intensify, and more rapidly as climate tipping points are reached. I had intended to spend the summer in OR and WA to see some places I haven't been, and for reasonable temps and to avoid fires. However, heat and fires were there, so never went, though considering heading there for a couple of months now. Not sure. There may not be many next times for some of the places we would like to see... We really have to try to enjoy life on our planet in the here and now while we.can despite the various obstacles we may be experiencing.....
Glad you're feeling better - a day without vomiting is a good day indeed. This video wasn't a downer for me because I enjoyed the drive since I spent a lot of time in those mountains, so thanks. You drive so we don't have to. 🤭 Hope you're someplace cooler now. Oh, and I don't know if you heard, but all California national forests are closed starting today through September 17th. It's Morro Bay/Montana de Oro hiking time! 🌞☕️
When you said you didn’t feel like it was 90 in the van but it was. When you said you had the beginning of a headache. Those were warning signs, I’m sure you realize that now. Aw, sweetie, I’m sorry you were so sick and I’m sure you were scared about the chest pains. I hope you see a doctor. Take care of your sweet self. ❤️😔
Hello now I hope you are somewhere cooler. So happy you made the decision to move from the mountain. Just stay safe. Sending love from your Aussie nomad friends 🤗
Next time i am out in southern California as a "feeder,x cargo pilot to maybe we can meet up!? Seriously, often i outlaying areas for the day,I In Burbank or Ontario for the night, it's a lifestyle many don't consider when becoming a pilot!!
RE: the dehydration . . . I don't know if you do electrolyte mixes, but I highly recommend REDMOND Re-Lyte Electrolyte Drink Mixes. Contains no sugar. I got the mango and pina colada.
Is that a good brand? High reviews? I mean it’s probably a premium product. When I get heat stroke and a bit unwell I’ll drink off the shelf Gatorade which also comes in powder form at a very reasonable price. A little ( relatively speaking) sugar when you’re feeling like death is probably a god send. I don’t over indulge in sugar so when I need it, I don’t think twice about it.
@@supercooled Redmond is a good brand. I think they are the only sea salt that is mined in the USA. Which means no modern chemicals collected from the ocean.
Move to Illinois. No altitude problem as flat as a board. Plenty of room for you here as everyone here is trying to move to another state. Taxes right up there with New York and California.
Having altitude sickness at 5 or 6000 feet elevation is not good but then you have been at the coast for weeks. You really should go to the nearest ER and have your heart checked out to make sure you were not having a heart attack. The tightness in chest is not good.
I think that the northwest of the United States would definitely cool down your body and your brain !!! If I were you, I would travel avoiding the maximum temperatures I can endure. I’m watching now the New England area where the climate is perfect. Fall colors are beginning to unveil. After a while, you follow the best temperatures moving slowly to the south by ending in San Diego where the temps are outstandingly stable. This is my vision and probably not yours. But think about it, why suffer in the heat while you could breathe easily, sleep better and do activities without sweating !!! 🥵
Are public libraries open in the towns you’re in? On hot days I’ll go to the library... no time limit, free, and air-conditioned. Sometimes even get some work done on my laptop.
I'm glad you felt better on the way down. We don't have high altitudes in the UK above 1500m so I learned a lot from researching altitude sickness and I know if I go abroad what to expect.
(I'm one of those pedants who insists elevation is height on the ground and altitude is height in the air.) After months at sea level it can be rough going up a few thousand feet. I hope it was just dehydration. I was at 11,000 feet yesterday and, to my surprise, no elevation sickness or shortness of breath. But I've been living at 6,000 the past few months, so maybe that helped.
Yeahhh..I know about the video delays..In my head I was offering some comfort and just caring for another human being. I have slept in my car while working some travel assignments and wished some of the people I knew would have invited me in. Especially in stormy and muggy nights.
I loathe cold drinks of any kind, but especially coffee. Since I never get caffeine withdrawals, it’s not a problem to just skip drinking a hot coffee.
Oh no, Scott, don't skip the coffee! But seriously, there's good evidence that caffeine might help altitude sickness (by acting as a cerebral vasoconstrictor.) Some say that effect is counteracted by the dehydration after coffee consumption. But studies done at Everest base camp tend to discount that. The headache is due not only to possible dehydration, but to the vasodilation of cerebral blood vessels to compensate for lower blood oxygen levels. Elite athletes are learning special breathing techniques to increase their tolerance for higher blood CO2 levels -- and the body compensates for this by maintaining higher O2 levels as well. We tend to think of CO2 as a waste gas and nothing more, but it is clearly a very important metabolic signal, which we can learn to control. Do we have to employ a specialist trainer to get there? Nope -- just learn to breath through the nose (deviated septum and all) at all times, and the slower pace and extra work required will call the diaphragm (the right equipment for the task) into service. Then, do this while exercising, and then while exercising hard. This isn't that difficult to pursue, and the improvement in breathing function is worth much more than just avoiding altitude sickness!
Oh man that's unfortunate, glad you listened to your body and came back down! Do you ever drink coconut water? I try to keep some on hand for those such occasions. Not sure when this video was taken but just read that all the forests in Cali are closing temporarily to prevent forest fires, is this true???
Yes, I messed up by not having coconut water on hand. All my videos are on a delay. At this time, all National Forests in California are closed until at least Labor Day.
Yeah I just heard this morning that all the California national forests are closed. Except for passing through. The antelope valley to Glendale starts around midnight. According to NPR and the forest person.
Yep, they're all closed. I haven't even heard about the "just passing through" exception. Our news station (Sacramento County) said anyone caught in a National Forest would be ticketed and face heavy fines.
@@rangerannie5636 the forest person was speaking of the antelope valley/ to LA route. I guess some people need to be able to pass through. They did say no stopping and no picnics. :) Maybe you if you can have a picnic while not stopping… but that might be dangerous passing through the mountains . lol 😂
@@randbasic I thought maybe I was getting different information being in NorCal, but "no stopping" and "no picnics" (except for rolling picnics, lol) certainly covers no camping! 🤣
Sorry to hear motion sickness struck you hard. Have you thought about taking some pain killers? Usually they help to overcome the first hours and days easier. Just a thought. Hope you'll get better soon. Take care 🏖️🏜️🧸💥

Hey Scott prior to going to high altitude areas start increasing your water intake by quite a bit. If you can include electrolytes as well that helps.
