I just bought one of those squeeze bag filter systems for backpacking OP, but I guess I didn't need it since you say dirty water is ok to drink. Boy do I feel like a real loving idiot!

Literally would have been more beneficial for camping if you had traded for one dollar bills and used them as kindling to start a fire. You could have made an equally effective water filter out of a t shirt and dirt.

I filter all river/creek water religiously, but I drink directly from lakes a handful of times a year. They have all been in the interior of Algonquin park, high up on the water table. Also I pull the water from the middle of lakes far from any potential source of poop runoff.
I like to think the risk is pretty low but please tell me if I am going to poo poo myself to death TIA

I have come to discourse on the profound inequities of the American political system.

Humans are funny. We cannot tolerate even the slightest lovely water, yet animals eat and drink out of their own poo poo infested ponds all the time and don't have nearly the intestinal issues that we do. There's a reason that the vast majority of humans who lived through childbirth died making GBS threads themselves to death. Thank god our forefathers here in America spent billions of taxpayer money to build such a vast network of water collection that delivers fresh, clean water to my doorstep on the daily.

Too bad their kids, and their kids didn't bother to spend another red cent to upkeep it and its all going to poo poo.

Every day I wake up to a refreshing sip of fresh Lake Mono water I get shipped to me weekly. It's a soothing way to wake up while giving me the energy I need to get through the day.

It may be low risk, but that's a dumb risk to take if the reason you don't have filters or whatever is because you're backpacking or something. A mild diarrhea is potentially dangerous if you're someplace where getting out and help isn't quick.

A million years ago we figured out that cooking food makes it way easier to digest and extract energy from. Our guts got way smaller compared to body size than other animals, and optimized for quick and easy cooked food digestion. But that probably also made us way more vulnerable to infection through the gut.

A big part of my job is water quality monitoring on mountain streams and in some places you can be fine (in pristine areas) and sometimes you might get Giardia or something poo poo. It's a dumb risk unless you don't have an option. These days you can get a water filter that weighs nothing and is smaller than OP's cock for $20 so just get one of those.

When no one was looking, Serval took forty Japari buns. She took 40 buns. That's as many as four tens. And that's terrible.
No the water sources around where I hike n bike are all full of farm runoff, slurry and various chemicals from crop and weed spraying.
A lot of it does look very clean but I would never chance it.
