Has anyone tested water in the mountains to see how common the bad stuff really is? I spent my entire youth hiking around the local mountains in CO drinking straight out of the creeks and never got sick. Did anyone filter water in the 70s or early 80s? I don’t think I ever knew it was a thing.
Now, I do prefer the steripen with a wide mouth nalgene. But is is electronic… I’ve had issues with Sawyers but never with my Steripen. I need to try the potable aqua tablets. The iodine ones are disgusting.
