do you think it's always smarter to drink creek water upstream from the herd?

Yup smarter...But a carbonated additive may help...not a herd of pigs I hope! Oh sick....Can I just have bottled water please...then who knows what is in that?

Up on cripple creek Cliff sent me, if I sprang a leak Cliff saved me....Oh Cliff does alot on that creek...and we will not be drinking water...but we will be going upstream! Or is that U will be up?

on condition that the heard is fairly status interior the water on the 2nd you're desireing to drink from a similar source of water which in all probability is already packed with volatile micro organisms. i could attempt to attend until I have been given to a place with clean ingesting water coming from a nicely or faucet water presented by utilizing the city water board.

Yes, its smarter but not very smart. Never drink water from a steam or creek that might be used by domestic or herds of wild animals.

Disinfect it first, always.

Otherwise you could suffer from very serious gastrointestinal difficulties.

That reminded me of the Kipling story where the villagers in India hated their neighbors because they peed in the river upstream.

Hey CW- You know what they say- Sh!t runs downhill. I like it upstream- on top- whatever the terminology you crazy kids are using these days......

There is always another herd upstream of you somewhere, besides it adds flavor. lol

You need additives, one tablespoon of bleach for each gallon of water. It is full of ecoli, so don't go skinny dipping in it either.

lmfao.. common sense my friend.. no matter where something is always down stream.

how about boiling it before digestion? like the old tips and tricks say?

it might be a good idea, but i really don't think it's a neccesity as thestream is always flowing ha ha lmao

Yes,I do. A duck walks into a pub and heads straight for the bar. He asks the bartender,"Have you got any bread?" "No sorry,we don't sell bread." "Have you got any bread?" "No,I just told you,we don't have any bread." "Aw,right then,what about bread? Do you have any bread?" "NO! WE'VE GOT NO BREAD," "Got any bread?" "Look,you stupid duck,we don't have any bread! And if you ask me again,I'll nail your beak to the bar!" "Have you got any nails?" "No." "Got any bread?"
