When I began hiking, around 17 or 18 years of age, I carried 6 liters (via 3 old two liter coke bottles) with me while on a 4 day trip in the Opal Creek area of Oregon, just east of Salem. They were very heavy, for about a day and a half. That's when I ran out of water and had to drink from the stream. It didn't help that I had all these fears of Giardia implanted in my head. I drank from the stream without any problems and after the trip purchased a water filter. That was the last I drank straight from a stream.
