you'll probably be fine any given time,
but then you'll get comfortable doing it,
so you'll make a habit of it,
then some random time when you are far from help you'll shit yourself to death.
Why would I get sick from Lake Superior some random time? Wouldn't any contaminants be so diluted it will be basically the same every time? As long as I'm not drinking water from right next to some dead animal or garbage on the shore or whatever.
You probably could, but why would you want to?
Just get a cheap Sawyer or life straw and be done with it, or boil it. >I've had spring water from a popular fresh water spring but others have had their stomachs eaten from doing so.

So do I. But the lake is really fricking huge and really fricking deep. And I guess I should add that it only accounts for drinking water on the surface, not water in aquifers.
Another stat that will blow your mind : one out of every 2 lakes is in Canada.
You'll probably be fine OP, but in the future bring a water filter like a Sawyer or something comparable. As far as I know, the only serious thing you really need to worry about with that water is parasites from deer and elk shit.
Useful tip: if your ever stuck in the woods without filtration equipment, you can use your own urine to purify clean drinking water. Adding pee to your water (1/4 ratio) introduces enough ammonia to neutralize any harmful pathogens that may be present, making it safe to drink.
yes
Is it safe?
yes
Are you sure?
Yes
Thank you
If you are lying and I get sick I am going to be very mad at you
would boil if you can, but had no problems drinking 1-2 km from towns
You drank unboiled?
Does it even matter to be far from town? I would think in Superior anything gets so diluted even if near a town.
You don't have to boil. 160F for 30 sec well into safe pasteurization.
Drink bleach.

contaminants are not uniformly distributed in any large body of water, I know your autism demands absolutes, but real life doesn't work like that.
yes it does

The whole thing? Probably not.
>The whole thing? Probably not.
Given that Lake Superior is half the drinking water in the world, I would say this is a good guess.

I didn't need your permission to pee in it, Anon. You can do whatever you like.
>drinking water knowing fish shit in it

Paddle out to where you can easily see you couldnt swim to the bottom. Giardia sinks/slash is only in the mixed water near the shore
In the bwca, paddle out till you cant see bottom, throw a tennis ball to shore.
Never gotten sick. Its drinking from near any shoreline that gets ya.
frick off frog, we're full.
i think chicago may be more your speed
Canadians bathe in the water.
Canadians have special relations with dogs.
Any other questions?
