- twothamendment 9y agoFrom the article “There is no good epidemiologic evidence that North American wilderness waters are inherently unsafe for consumption,...” Right - and there isn't any evidence that wilderness waters are 100% safe either. I don't gamble in Vegas and I don't gamble with what I drink. Water can look fine, but is there a dead deer just upstream? No thanks. Filtering is cheap and easy, a great insurance policy.
- sna1l 9y agoYeah I'm not really getting the reason for caring whether it is likely to get sick from unfiltered water or not. Why not just always filter? (Assuming cost is low)
- loeg 9y agoThe main reason people don't like filtering is because it takes time.
- marcoperaza 9y agoWhich isn't a problem with a Sawyer filter, because you can just screw it to the top of the water bottle and drink through it.
