Finding water is only half the battle. 💧🏔️

In the backcountry, clear water doesn’t always mean safe water. Knowing how to collect, pre-filter, filter, and treat it can make a big difference when you’re miles from the nearest tap.

A few trail rules worth remembering:

💧 Start with the cleanest source available
🔥 Boil when appropriate
🧴 Carry a reliable filter or treatment method
🌧️ Know how to collect rainwater
❄️ Melt snow before drinking
🎒 Always carry a backup treatment option

And remember: filtering visible debris is not the same as disinfecting water.
