Everyone knows rivers are for pooping

I'm in my 50's, been /out/ since I was 10 at least. I've never once rought water or a filter. Drink from clean water streams. Of course it helps I live & go out in a clean part of the world.

Up here it's "pretty much kind of" safe to drink from a spring or glacier. Though I wouldn't recommend it of you're one of those people that get food poisoning 200 times a year.

Here in NZ it's normal to drink straight from rivers, assuming you're in the natures and not a populated/farmed area. Never known of anyone having any ill effects personally but I'm sure it happens.
