Day 24: Dan filtering water

Dan pumping some water. Thanks Andy for letting us borrow your filter! All water out here should be treated before drinking. You can use a filter, they are heavier but make the water tasty and you can drink it right away. backpackers who are trying to have really light packs (minimalists) usually use iodine drops or tablets, or a few drops of bleach. these are small and light, but you have to wait a half hour before drinking it, and they taste kinda nasty. Havin a relaxing day with Dan, 4 mile hike to campsite, ate some junk food, built a fire, collected wood for tonight, played pass the pigs, and took a nap on a patch of grass. now we are going for a little walk to check out a pond nearby.

  1. Can I get a What What!!! Good thing Andy's Outdoor Emporium was in business when Dan stopped by. Rental fees apply for the next batch of items as now you are taking stuff I might need.

  2. What What!!!? I have all your stuff clean, dried, aired out and ready to be returned except for that shirt because it looks better on me than it does on you.
