Default Group Poll :Oxygen

The MH is very deluxe. You feel great on about 1/4 the oxygen
that would usually be required.

Probably not for the casual user tho... It would take a lot of fills
to justify the price.


It's not just about the direct economics of the situation.

Using less oxygen means being able to be more selective about where one
fills up the tank. I've found that traveling across the country, oxygen
fill-ups vary widely in price. I've seen as low as $15, and as high as $50
or more. It would be nice to be able to tell the folks selling for $50 to
take a hike, because your tank will last you another three legs (or more!).

And of course, there's the sheer convenience of not having to fill up as
often.

Now, granted...that's not a computable benefit. One has to decide for
themself what that convenience is worth. But an airplane owner has often
already decided they are willing to spend extra for convenience; a LOT
extra. The extra expense for the fancy oxygen system often pales in
comparison.

Besides, a 1/4 the flow and $50 fillups, it won't actually take that long to
pay for a Mountain High system.
