>>187783Desert hiking at night under a full moon is one of the coolest things ever. I've seen the moon so bright at Big Bend that you could literally read a book by moonlight.
I laughed at the hurr you don't need a filter shit, on the Rio Grande I want every thing I can possibly have to make that shit more palatable. There's water in the desert if you know where to look, and finding it is half the fun. You can also cache water but hide that shit good or jackasses will take it or (my personal favorite) dump it out.
