Hi,
I hiked AT and was fine without pump (chemically treated water) - wondering on CT if I can go without as well. (planning a thru hike summer 2015) In other words, are most water sources flowing water with ability to fill gatorade bottle or water bladder? or some shallow standing water that only way to reasonable get is through pump? No offense but I'm not looking for anyone's philosophies on water treatment - just the physical filling of containers part.
Thanks in advance wise posters
