On longer hikes, lugging enough water is t feasible. Most people use filters to treat creek water. Check out some YouTube videos on Sawyer Squeeze filters. They’re pretty much ubiquitous. You can even buy them at Walmart.

Always leave an itinerary with someone at home. It should include where you’re going, a rough description of your route (or location of your campsite if you’re just camping in one spot for a few days), and who to contact if you don’t return at your scheduled time (search and rescue if they have one, ranger station, local sherif, state police, and area hospital). A lot of dead hiker stories are a result of them not doing this.
