Where I hunt < and I know the area very well> there is no pristine running creeks...those creeks of course still carrying all internal bad bugs for your insides. I had a severe virus 4 years ago or so which I believe came from drinking bad water so now I am paranoid beyond belief. I have to filter water from a cattle pond where cows wade in drink, stand there and do their business.
I filtered the water AND added Aqua mira drops but still could see the oil film that exists in such High Country cattle "toilets". This season I carried in a full Dramadory 6L but thats not sufficient quantity for any extended stay. I went in and out 3.3 miles one way 5X this season and that really tear's your body down for continually producing a quality hunt for oneself.
This sheen in the water bugs the !@#$ out of me even though I am doing both filtering methods. Either I go elsewhere to hunt, which I do not wish to do or perhaps do the double purification and send it to a nearby Lab for testing which I do yearly for business purposes anyway. Signed Paranoid
