Has anyone ever tried taking balloons or big zip lock bags* of low elevation air up to Mauna Kea, and on the last part of the drive inhaled the oxygen rich(er) air from the balloon or bag every 5 or 10 minutes, to possibly reduce the effects of altitude sickness? Do you think it would work?
* not filled to capacity cause you know what happens then, pop!
“Facts fall from the poetic observer as ripe seeds.” -Henry Thoreau
