Going on a 6 mile hike tomorrow in Ohio on a popular trail. Can I actually just saunter up to a stream with this thing, fill up my bottle, and not get super aids? It seems to good to be true.

your bigger problem is going to be chemical runoff in the water, which most commercially available backpacking filters won't touch.

You can't even distill that shit out because some of the compounds are too close or right at the boiling point for water. What you can do is to look up the fishing regulations and look for "consumption advisory" locations where people are not supposed to eat the fish. You will know to stay away from those watersheds. Wind in Ohio moves West to East for the most part so the further you get to the west the better for surface water.

Im assuming most water in Texas from from lakes/bayous/ rivers would be risky as well? Should I bother with a filter or just bring extra water?

Both of these states depend on the area, so see back to >>1480660

>>1480782
You're right but kidneys are a lot tougher to replace than a store bought filter, so it's best not to work them too hard anyway.

shit filter. shit the bed on me after 2 weeks on the AT. i hate sawyer filters, but it's better than this.

as others have said, and as a fellow ohiofag, i wouldn't advise drinking oir water anyways. if it's only a six mile hike 2 liters of water will be more than enough senpai. youll be done in 3 hours MAX

I imagine most bayou water is surprisingly clean because the natural flora filter it and it often has a lot of tannic acid in it (blackwater) that kills a lot of pathogens than would ordinarily make you sick

the problem is, unless you're drinking from the where the water is litterally gushing from the earth, you don't know what's upstream. something could have died or simply taken a shit in the water 1/4 mile from where you're drinkong and you'd have no way of know. if you want to be lightweight or jewy at least get a fucking lifestraw.

I would not advise drinking from any water source there, that area had extensive mining operations back in the day and the water is very tainted. Look online for more info or just look around out there ive seen the orange water springs, dont do it

3 bottles of water for 6 miles hike. It means drinking 1 bottle every 2 miles. It is more time spent drinking water than walking. You keyboard adventurers never hiked in your life.
