Same as everyone else, I dont wanna get sick on a 3-4 day trek so I use a filtration system. I've used the platypus gravity filter and it works great, but I usually carry the MSR pump with me. Lightweight, super easy to use, you work that arm out pumping and it screws onto any big mouth nalgene bottle.
