I just want you to know that H2O is a chemical...
Not only is water a chemical but (true story!) if you happen to keep a squeeze bottle of it around, in a lab, OSHA will make you label the bottle.
Our tax dollars hard at work.😐

Perhaps better to leave bottles unlabeled in a lab. Makes life much more exciting if theres a small fire and alcohol can be used instead of water or acid used to flush chemical off skin or eyes.Originally Posted by ChuckT
OSHA does a lot of things many find silly, many of them common sense related. However, the better question remains, why wouldn't you label all your containers with fluids in a lab? This kind of extends to backpacking as well in somehow labeling unfiltered and filtered water containers.

Actually was labeled "WATER" cause "Always Add Acid" but that wasn't enough

The Lifestraw works fine for drinking a variety of sources in real-time, however in my experience, a higher capacity water filter usually works out better when you want to filter a liter, or several, at a time.
FWIW, in a canoe trek, even with some portaging, a more robust filtering system may be better. A sawyer filter could work well for example and not weigh much, though they can take some time (not as much time as filtering via a Lifestraw). I have used Katadyn Hiker Pro pump type filtering system for years without a problem, they don't add significantly to the weight on a short trip and their ability to filter a lot of water very quickly is very good and may be of better use than a personal straw especially when a canoe will be doing most of the carrying.
