2 weeks ago for my first overnight hike, me and my husky did the approach trail. It was my fist time and I didnt know there was an App listing the water sources.
I carried enough water, but half way there, I got thirsty but thought "im really thirsty but I need to save my water if theres none near camp".
But I came across 2 puddles:

I walked past it, but allowed my dog to drink.
Im looking into getting a filtering devise such as the sawyer mini.
Is this something you would drink from with a filter? I believe it was a puddle created by tire tracks. But it rained only 2 days before, so I dont think the water was there for long before I found it.
is filtering and drinking from a standing source like this a giant no-no?
Im not sure about the rules/recommendations on drinking from water sources.
Or are we only supposed to filter and drink from flowing water sources?
