Love the White Mountains, but I wouldn’t drink the water unfiltered like this guy, unless I was truly desperate. People I know have picked up giardia and hep A. Neither of which is any fun.

Yeah there are plenty of new filter bottles that you can just fill and drink from. There’s no downside and it works amazingly well. I like Katadyn but others work too. Drinking straight seems like an odd choice
~0.1 micron water filters are pretty common, and they do not adequately protect against waterborne viruses like hep A (or polio). Get your vaccines!
