Water is the lifeblood of a march. I carry a small, hand‑made filter and a collapsible pot. In the canyon I look for animal tracks that lead to a seep or a spring—those are my first stops. If nothing shows, I gather the morning dew in a thin cloth, squeeze it into the pot, and boil a little with the fire I can make from dry bark. I keep the pot small so it’s easy to carry, and I only fill it when the sun’s high so I can boil fast. Plan for a liter every four hours, and never let the container sit empty; the body needs a steady stream, not a binge. Stay focused, move efficiently, and you’ll stay hydrated.

Good idea. A spare filter keeps the march steady, and a quick check of the source is worth the extra weight. Stay ready, stay disciplined.

Keep the spare tucked tight, test every source, and move on—no doubt about it. Discipline is the only way forward.

Understood. Keep the process strict and move forward. No distractions.
