Simple question. And I'm being completely serious. What's the best water you've ever had?

Was out somewhere in Canadistania on vacation back in like 2003.

My family and I were on some glacier, which had a stream of water running down it.

Filled up some empty water bottle I had with me and drank it.

I still have half that waterbottle sitting in my freezer.

Ice is really refreshing on a hot day, but water is so flexible I would say it wins out overall. Steam is shit though. Just going to burn the hell out of your mouth.

Water from the house I grew up at in Maine. We had a well that went down like 300+ feet through granite into some big underground reservoir. The water had a ton of minerals and stained all the sinks and clogged up the filter things on the faucets pretty regularly, but it was excellent drinking water.

When I lived in the Caribbean, we had a cistern in back of our house and the gutters from around the roof all fed into the cistern to collect the rainwater.

It was ok for drinking, but we always had to make sure to dump some bleach into it every month to make sure there were no parasites or anything.

We also had a well but depending on the time of the year and how much rain we had, it was sometimes kind of brackish so not great for drinking.

The city water was fucking awful desalinated garbage that I refused to ever drink.

OP here, never posted mine. A few years back I had been hiking with some friends of mine in some mountains a little upstate from where we all lived. It was towards the end of winter, but due to the altitude it was still very frozen up there. There were all these little waterfalls which were really just rivulets of melting ice water runoff streaming down the sides of these cliffs. And they were sharp, precipitous kind of cliffs. Beautiful sights. Anyway, the waterfalls. They were all frozen over, but you could see water flowing behind the ice. And I remember while climbing, there was an opening in the ice and I put my lips to it and drank. That was the best water I can remember ever having. I came down with hypothermia a little later in the hike. But for that water, it was completely worth it.

The artesian well on my property. No greater filter than muther erff.

I'll buy a jug of store bought water and dump it out to fill with that water.

It comes from over 100 feet below the earth, so its nice and cold even on a hot day.

But I live in a 'flyover' state, I'm sure most of you like your fluoride tap water that makes superior garbage pizza in NYC or whatever the fuck. Stay pleb.

It probably had to do more with how thirsty I was but the best water I had ever imbibed in my life was from a natural spring coming right out of the mountain on the Appalachian Trail. Specifically, it was somewhere near Peter's Mountain in Pennsylvania.

Man, I need to get /out/, I haven't been backpacking in ages.
