[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1210532, member: 54178"] Rob, As a backpacker I can tell you that US Forest Service employees testing hundreds of streams in many forests have found that the need for water treatment is very rare. HOWEVER, all it takes is for you to drink from that pristine mountain brook that has a beaver pond upstream or a big pile of elk or bear crap in the stream and you will get giardia, at the least. And that is not a pleasant prospect. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
