💧 Water Safety

Always filter or treat all backcountry water before drinking, regardless of source.
Seasonal sources may be reduced or dry during late summer and early fall.
Tidal creeks can have brackish (salty) water at high tide. Collect water at low tide or move upstream to find fresh water.
Carry extra capacity — plan to carry enough water between reliable sources, especially on hot days.
