I will doing some miles in a few weeks and staying around fingerboard shelter. This will be the first time I will be treating my water.

In the AT guide there seems to be a few good sources. One I will most likely use is the Surebridge Brook which gives me less miles to hike with water before getting to fingerboard shelter.

I see that the guide mentions a spring downhill to the left of the shelter but says it unreliable?

Also is using a filter system and Aquamira in combination over kill for treating water?

Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks
