When I was hiking the Pacific Crest Trail last year, I noticed that some gear stores, especially in towns with access to the Sierra, had little cans of oxygen for climbing (you can even buy them on Amazon! https://www.amazon.com/oxygen-hiking/s?k=oxygen+for+hiking). When I saw them, the part of my brain that generates sentiments like “FUCK IT LET’S SEE HOW HARD WE CAN REALLY GO” told me to buy one, but I decided I didn’t want to carry the can around after what would probably be a pretty brief experiment.
