Altitude tents
What price would these need to be before you bought one? Also, does anyone here use one?

I can't help but wonder if you could accomplish the same thing by breathing/sleeping with a snorkle...might take some getting used to but would only cost a few dollars.

Can I get one at WalMart for $399? That might work.

I'd set it up in my backyard and tell my kids we're going camping.

A friend has one. He sleeps in it all the time, and swears by it. But I have heard lots of stories of people going "up" too fast and getting sick, and screwing themselves up. Personally it would be one of the last things on my to buy list.

$1500.
I used one last year as part of a effects-of-altitude on cyclists study. I slept VERY well in it.

When I priced these units a while back I didn't see any as cheap as $1500. I seem to remember $2000 just for the air filtration unit.
And for nay-sayers, studies have shown gains of 1 to 2 percent using the live high train low method.
Some have said that just 8 or 9 hours in the tent isn't enough to get the full "live high" benefit however.
