    Congrats, have a great time! The only time (so far) I have had to get water from a stock pond was on the CDT in northern NM. Good times! I would recommend having a plan for food storage by the time you get to the Gila. I use a bear can but they’re not for everyone.

      Thanks! I’ve had some pretty nasty water before, but it sounds like the CDT is gonna take that to another level. Is it weird to be excited about gross water?

        I don’t think it’s weird, a lot of water is pretty rough and what’s out on the trail is generally going to better than city water in Mexico. I only got that water bc of a knee problem and didn’t want to tank up coming out of a valley. It wasn’t bad tasting but sure was green 💚 personally I think the water from wildlife feeders is actually gross. No bueno 👎

        When do you start?
