Wolf Watcher:
Trapper: Do you mind if I ask what mountains you are headed for? The ability to make fire is more important on a long stay than you will ever imagine. Take a pocket fire starter with with a magnisium bar for emergencies. Take a sling shot and some materials for a snare and some line and hooks. Also take some basic knapping tools! Good Luck! Joe

I don,t recommend this for every body, but out here in California I have and continue to drink out of streams and springs where there is very little human activity. I have been good so far nock on wood. Once you taste good clean water from those high mountain streams its hard to drink anything else. I always make sure that is no livestock around and I drink from where the water is moving fast and not standing still. Depending where you are there still should be snow on the ground at least in the high country. Careful bad water could ruin your trip. I am not sure how the water quality is in colorado. good luck.
