Water systems, and bottles, are as hygenic as you make them.

Yeah...maybe in a Las Vegas casino, walking your dog in the neighborhood or mall walk, but not in a rainforest or a climb in the Picket Range.



You judge others by your own, obviously limited, capabilities. Your herculean endeavors humble mere mortals.

I have used a bladder very successfully in rainforest on Borneo, in Indonesia, and South America. Not a single issue. I have used in in the New England all four seasons successfully. California in the Sierra's and Peninsular Ranges. Alaska in the Fairweather's, Coast, and Chilkat Ranges. In the High Tatras. No problems once so ever. Bladders work and work well.


Eat Fish, Wear Grundens, Drink Alaskan.
