Ditto what Rutgers said. Except... "Drink water..." No, drink LOTS OF WATER. I've had altitude sickness at 10,500 feet in s.w. Colo., on an outfitted elk hunt... and I was really, really sick! Later, after some research on altitude sickness, I realized I had become dehydrated, because of not drinking much water. On later hunts in high altitudes, I've practically flooded my insides with water, and I've never had that problem again.
Stay away from booze and coffee! Both are astringents.
Take a small water purifier with you and USE it! I like Katadyn, but Pur is also good. You will enjoy your hunt far more, if you keep hydrated. Good luck. FWIW. J.B.
