Ok - I'm not certain how the body works here but...


I was watching this movie about steroid use. Bigger, fasters, stronger or similar name.


In it the guy interviews a cycler who uses his home made altitude chamber. He sleeps in it to build up red blood cells, which help him deliver more oxygen to his body.



Could or do hikers use a device like this? It looked pretty simple. I wonder if this would be especially useful for high alt. mountaineers.



It was basically a huge drain pipe. He used lexan or glass to block the ends reducing the oxygen. At least thats how I saw it, I think he said there were directions to make these on the internet.


Random question here, no I dont need one.
