    Boil your water, then after it cools run it through a charcoal and/or osmosis filter. Even then, it’s still not great. Commercial/community water treatment isn’t some silly little optional process.

    A Brita filter =/= a survival straw. There ARE filters you can use to drink directly from water sources in nature that will filter out all contaminants but a Brita ain’t one.

      Exactly, there are filters for tap water and there are backpacking or survival filters for filtering dirty water. I use both regularly, but wouldn’t ever take my filter pitcher hiking.
