>>1259928are chemicals really an issue if you're well away from civilization? damn I couldn't even tell you. one trip last summer I remember having my bladder, two small bottles in my side pockets, and a gallon split between 2 large bottles inside my bag. that's a lot of weight. drank it all during my 2 day trip and rationed the last bit of my bladder for the hike back to my car.
>>1259931yeah it must be nice. the southwest is beautiful and definitely a fun, challenging experience but the water situation really sucks.
