How often do you filter water for drinking when hiking or backpacking?
I'm sure you've seen plenty of creeks and streams to filter water for drinking and cooking. How often do you actually filter the water?
I typically pack enough where I rarely filter. I filtered a few water bottles from Current River once for my stepdaughter and her friend because they drank more than they should have and were running low for the hike back. I also filtered some for myself because I wanted to see what filtered spring water tasted like. It was good!
So, back to you, how often do you filter while on the trail?
