sobo Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 "There are no technical climbing skills involved-it's not like Everest or K-2 or Fuji. So I'm not real worried about it." There's technical climbing on Fuji? Who knew??? Quote
ZimZam Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 "I have an altitude training mask that I can work out in, sleep in, walk in. It emulates, let’s say, being at 10,000 feet, and there’s a nozzle that you screw on that emulates being at 15,000 and then 20,000, and so on. What is this thing he talks about? I've heard of hyperbaric chambers, but what's an altitude training mask and how does that work? Quote
Water Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 teh google is ur friend: https://www.google.com/search?q=altitude+mask my understanding was that the ways to train for altitude were to be in a chamber or be at altitude. looks like this reduces the amount of air you get to reduce the amount of oxygen you have..

keenwesh Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 sounds like that "breath trainer" that was reviewed a few months back in R&I, they decided it was garbage. if you really care about restricting your bodys intake of oxygen might as well masterbate with a noose around your neck. Quote
ZimZam Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 a garbage bag would be cheaper and just as effective Quote
keenwesh Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 ahhh, for a non climber! but this guy is training for the mountains, thus he has a rope (hopefully) and can get the added bonus of practicing his knot tying skills while suffocating himself. Quote
keenwesh Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 jesus this chem class is boring, leaving my mind to wander. Quote
sobo Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 Spraying directly from class... now there's a new low for cc.com. I luv it! Quote
Phil K Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 Spraying directly from class... now there's a new low for cc.com. I luv it! Everyone knows you're supposed to spray from work. Duh. Quote
sobo Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 Precisely! Most peeps at work spray from their employers' IT infrastructure. But spraying (in class) from your mobile device, now that's a new low... Quote

But spraying (in class) from your mobile device, now that's a new low... I was on my laptop (using the schools wireless!) I haven't gone so low as to get a mobile phone that has internet access.
