Video Transcript

"When you're planning out your trek, you also need to consider water sources. Some places will actually have water spikets, some campsites will. It's not really common, but it does happen sometimes. But then you also need to know that there's not always going to be little streams going by, and just because it's on the map doesn't mean that this year that's where the stream falls. So once again, you need to talk to the people who work at the national park, or wherever it is that you're going backpacking, and you need to find out, you know, is there a water source along the way, or is there a water source near by? Is there a little creek that I can get water from? Sometimes there will be a little creek, but it'll be really slow and stagnant, and it'll be on the map and you'll be counting on it for water, but then when you get there, it's all mucky and disgusting, and you can't use it to drink water. So, finding out where you can get clean water, or water that you can at least purify enough to drink it is really, really important before you go on your trek."
