Funny enough that happened to me recently.

This April I was backpacking in North Yorkshire moors and was super dehydrated. Used all my water and the next town was 9 miles away.

On the moor found a stream, was happy to finally have water. Filtered like three liters in my dinky old Grayl with an old ass filter.

Drink 1 L before going decide to find a spot to chill out up stream maybe rinse off the grime and wash my clothes. See pic related in the water and realize I just drank dead bird juice water.

Was totally fine, but ditched the water when I got into town.

well, now your colon is going to be "in a rush" too.

I filtered from streams with a load of cowshit when I was desperate, a disgusting indian beverage. I was fine. Turns out filters do work. Just don't let the outlet get dirty.
>>
Why you only fill up at springs or places it's coming outta the rocks, I don't even filter at that point
>>
>>2839153
that river is so brown and dirty i would never consider drinking of it anyway.
i take it for granted its dead animals, piss and poo in the water i drink but its safe due to dillution and temperature. there simply aint no bacteria growth in 5c water. hot summer days when the waterways dry up and the water temperature start climbing towards 20c its a different thing.
