How to Get Drinking Water While Backpacking (Filtering Tips for Pros)

Big thank you to aquatabs for sponsoring this video! I’ve carried their water treatment tablets on every trip since my first thru-hike in 2019 and I am so excited to be working with them.

Today I’m talking about how to get clean water while backpacking, even from the nastiest sources. I’ve had to collect water from my fair share of cow tanks and ponds, neither of which ever look particularly appetizing. But when you’re in the middle of a hot desert with no other water in sight for 20 miles, it’s time to get creative. In this video, I’ll go over some tips I’ve picked up in my backpacking career to make even the nastiest backcountry water sources not only drinkable, but enjoyable.
