Wilderness Athlete Altitude Advantage Review

Something that I looked forward to every year, when I was a kid, was when my dad and I would make our annual trip up to deer camp.  The key word there is “up.”  Our deer camp was located at 9800 ft. on top of a mountain.  What a beautiful area.  I didn’t even know that places like this existed in Arizona until I saw it with my own eyes.  I am used to seeing mostly desert/high desert country.  Where we were, straight looked like the photos that I would oogle over in my outdoor magazines at home.  Even surrounded by all of that beauty, something always bothered me for the first day or so I was there.  I’d have headaches and just feel downright drained of energy.  I didn’t know, until recently, that I had been suffering from Altitude Sickness.  Never before, did I give any thought on how I might remedy the issue.  It was something that I just dealt with for the time being and then it would go away.  That was until I heard of Wilderness Athlete’s Altitude Advantage.  Let’s take a closer look at what Altitude Sickness is before we dive into this product.

Bear Hunting

If you’ve been following along with me for the past few years, then you know how much of a bear nut I am.  Last year I wrote a story called Canyon Bruins, which took you along the epic journey that was my 2015 season.  If you read that story then you know that is when I was able to harvest my first black bear.  On that morning, we were able to see 9 bears in about an hour and a half, all within 300 yards of each other.  Everything from the shot to the packout was nothing short of an adventure.  It took me 3 years to find a good bear spot here in AZ, so you can imagine how excited I was to get back to that magical hell hole that these Canyon Bruins called home for the 2016 season.
