Pecos Wilderness – Mountain Stream
Mountain streams are always a good source of water in a survival situation. After finding or making a decent shelter, finding water should always be your next priority. You will get thirsty a lot sooner than you will get hungry. It’s also a good idea to find fast moving streams and avoid ponds or pools where the water may be stagnant or possibly contain harmful bacteria. Always filter and purify your water if you are not absolutely certain about its quality.

Slate Falls in Pecos Wilderness Area
