Backcountry Basics - Water

Enjoy some trail views as we hike out to one of my favorite spots for filming this episode of Backcountry Basics!
In today's episode, we cover how I take care of my water needs when I am out on the trail. This is what I pack and use for anything from a short day hike to a full-blown 10-day backcountry trip. Obviously, I cannot just drink straight from a stream (at least if I want to avoid giardia), so I spend some time today going over what gear I use for different conditions and circumstances and how.

Here are the links mentioned regarding the gear mentioned or used in this video:
