>>1334089Are you aware that human beings survived for literally tens of thousands of years without filters and all the other fancy shit you bring hiking? I've hiked all my life, my father has hiked all his life, his father has hiked all his life. Together we have well over a century and a half of hiking experience and thousands upon thousands of hours of time outdoors. None of us filter unless the water is stagnant or unclean and none of us have ever been sick.
Maybe if you didn't sit inside all day in the city you would be able to go outside and enjoy one of the simple joys of life in drinking from a mountain spring without trembling in terror because you're afraid the big giardia boogyman is gonna grab you in your sleep if you do.
