People filter out of stock tanks so the stream should be just fine....Or at least that's what they say
I filtered a nice cool litre of water on the 4c trail and looked at it condensating on the Nalgene bottle..It looked so good, but I decided I had enough water when I started thinking about all the cattle pastures I had passed. That coupled with all the East Texans who seem to think it is normal to run septic outside or into waterways
