      I live in Canada and there is definitely water that is filtered enough that you can drink it with out doing any thing to it and I even stayed at a camp where they got their water from a constantly running pipe that went to a stream linked to many steams from a mountain on an island so. it was an awesome camp other then you could only shower once a week for the two weeks unless you wanted to bath in the lake in the morning.

      @@Alchemeri Of course there were multiple reasons back then to die an early death - untreatable deseases, poor food hygiene, famines, a generally lower level of safety from violent crimes - but Andd2 is right with his statement. The age average of 30 is due to very high infant and child mortality. Once one lived past the age of 16, one had pretty decent chances to live up to age 50 to 60, even as a peasant. It surely was less taken for granted than nowadays, but it was by no means unusual. Being in your late thirties certainly wasn't considered old age. Of course, being a member of nobility, clergy or the rich merchant class improved one's chances to live to old age greatly.

      Atheists, during the enlightenment, created a lot of propaganda about how the dark ages were (most of what you think about the dark ages is either false or an exaggeration, in fact even the name "dark ages" is propaganda as it really does not hold up: they were also the ones that spread the lie that during Columbus and Magellan (age of exploration) europeans thought the world was flat. Of course this wasn't a one-sided affair, the religious also created lies during that time: the most pernicious being the idea that theory = hypothesis or that theories can become laws (which shows that they don't understand these terms, since a theory uses laws as part of its construction).

      Meanwhile, the fighting, the golden age causing oversupply of them as well, has lead to the rich being greedy & profit-seeking to gain power over each other.
      This has lead to cretens who want to stop being poor & join them, are outcompeted & then use the anxious people around them for profit & power.

    I was once on a remote island in the White Sea. There was a mountainous pond partially covered with thick growth on which you could stand, but otherwise clear and clean, even if it was brownish from the sediment and algae. Below that pond was a science base that had water issues, so my grandfather and his students dug a trench, put some pipes in, and just a put vent at the base. Guess who didn't know any of that and drunk 2 cups of murky algae-filled water with a soupçon of a rusty soviet truck that was in the water since the 70s?

    Heyo! I'm an avid backcountry camper. I live a short drive from the Canadian Rockies, and in the summer (as well as winter, if I'm feeling brave) I head out with some friends and hike around the backcountry for a week or so. I do this alot, and I'd consider myself good at it.
    There's no filtered water, obviously, and the stuff you pack with you won't last more than a day or so, so you get your water from streams and glacial lakes when you come across them. Keep in mind this is the Rockies, very clean and clear mineral glacial water.
    When I used to go as a kid with my dad I'd use AquaTabs, these little "pills" you drop in your water bottle that'll purify it after half an hour. They also make your water taste like a swimming pool.
    When I started going off on my own, I stopped using them, since they tasted awful and I figured the water was clean enough as is.
    Then I got Giardiasis, a.k.a beaver fever. A water transmitted disease that spreads from (you guessed it) beavers to humans. I won't describe it, but you can look up the symptoms. It's not pleasant. I use chlorine tabs again now, the taste isn't worth the misery.
    TL;DR: don't drink unfiltered water, no matter how clean it looks. Don't be an idiot

My parents let me put my feet in the water since they were sore but they were adamant I not even splash it on my face to cool down since you can get still sick through contact with your eyes and so many people were putting their dusty, sweaty bodies into that water.

      It does depend a lot on the location - colder regions will generally have far fewer issues with pathogens than hot regions. Although there have been problems with areas where mountaineers have defecated, the thawing snow has released the pathogens from the fecal matter and contaminated water further downstream.
      When out in the jungles here (SE Asia) we will often take the water from fast flowing streams, but always run it through a filter/purifier and/or boil it first. Not everyone uses the filters but those who don’t tend to be able to tolerate the local pathogens better.
      Also you’re working on bias here a bit - just because you don’t know of anyone it has happened to, doesn’t mean it can’t or won’t happen or the frequency. The numbers of people getting sick from drinking untreated water will vary worldwide by source and location and frequency of drinking untreated water. Most of us in the West have the privilege of being able to drink untreated water only occasionally, so the chances of picking up something serious are low. If these people were to drink untreated water on a regular basis (especially without being choosy on the source), then it is far more likely to lead to sickness.
      Not only that but chemical contamination in water isn’t usually going to cause acute symptoms, things like heavy metals will tend to build up over time, so here frequency plays a big role.
      I will, however, agree that he is overblowing some of the risks/benefits, particularly when xenoestrogens have been found to be in treated tap water too.

      "I didn't get sick so fuck science!"
      You are literally the same as the people who claim smoking is safe and doesn't skyrocket the risk for lung cancer, just because they were lucky enough to smoke all their life without getting cancer >.>
      That's not how it works. If I tell you there is a 90% risk you die if you jump out this window instead of taking the stairs, I assume you take the stairs, and not say "Oh well, I'm surely gonna be one of the 10%!" and jump.
      Natural springs are in many cases fuled by the rainwater fallen on higher altitudes. Which means they are full of pretty much everything that water went through since falling from the sky, including any agriculture (including forest management), roads, etc. in that area.
      Wells are generally safer since they target groundwater directly but that does NOT mean it is 100% safe to drink. Most people seem to be unaware that groundwater isn't a closed system - it interacts with other water systems, meaning it gets contaminated FROM other water sources, including rivers and seepage water.
      If you can safely say that there is zero agriculture, zero waste, zero water treatment (since the cleaned sewerage is put into rivers) etc. in your country I might believe you, but the fact that no such country exists in the world (that has enough landmass to produce it's own water, so something like the Vatican does not count) kinda makes it obvious that...no, it's NOT safe by default.
      Through the exchange in water systems, even groundwater gets contaminated with high nitrate rates from manure and fertilizers, iron from certain ground types, heavy metals and aluminimum from factories, human settlements, the well itself, and so on.
      While our body does need all of these, we need them in very small doses and getting too much is *literally* poisonous (cyanosis, lead poisoning, etc.) and that's not even touching on the topic of bacteria and all the diseases you can get from them (which are ALSO in groundwater, again, NOT a closed system!).
      Modern wells monitor water quality and either come with filtering technology equipped (which makes the water not "raw" anymore though) or at least alert the owner that currently it isn't safe to drink from it whenever guidance values are exceeded (since that varies throughout the year). If you have an old well, you can test the water quality yourself regularly.
      Keep in mind that just because YOU never got sick does NOT mean it is safe to drink and wouldn't possibly lead to the sickness and even death of those with weaker immune systems or more sensitive limits for solute, like babies and children. Some stuff like lead doesn't even have immediate effects, it just keeps building up in the body for years.
      Bottom line - we spent hundreds of years researching what is safe and what kills us. Safe conditions DO occur naturally but you can't judge that by matter of "Oh this area seems nature-y so it's fine" because you don't know the size of the catchment area for this particular spring or well and what everyone does within that area - or even out of it, if rivers go through it that started somewhere else.
      "Well, *I* never got sick!" is not a good argument to ignore all safety regulations that are in place FOR A REASON.
      Edit: Oh and shush it with the whole "not in the Western world hurr durr" bullshit, water isn't some magical potion, it follows the same scientific rules everywhere on the planet. The literal, millions of years old ground itsself, as well as old-timey style of fertilizing with animal shit contaminate water just as much, if not more, than industrialized countries do through factories and advanced fertilizers. Just because it's natural doesn't make it safe.

Millions of people are hospitalised, and die, every year from drinking untreated water.
      If you're going on a long hike, and you need a drink, either take bottled water with you, or use iodine, or water purification tablets. There is no part of the world that is free from waterborne parasites, bacteria, and viruses that harm humans.

      (I imagine if you live in a nation where everyone has to share a natural water source there's high risk for disease spreading such as cholera, but that's a really different situation from the one I was talking about)
      Natural springs like the ones in the lake district are usually fine because they run through the sedimentary rock layers and are at least in part, filtered along the way. It's probably about as fine to have a drink of spring water as it is to eat a piece of fruit straight from the tree, but obviously this doesn't mean you should drink it solely, definitely not relying on it solely if you're on a hike.

Some years ago, i lived directly next to a cattle corn field, and unbeknownst to us the cow manure they used got into our well and our filter wasn't that great... you can imagine how sick we got, it took us much longer than it should have for us to figure out. Great videos, keep up the good work.
