Ran into a thru-hiker who said he ditched his water filter after 500 miles

Met this guy at a shelter on the AT last week who swore he just drank straight from springs and checked trail reports for clean sources. Said his Sawyer clogged on day 3 and he never looked back. Has anyone else actually tried going filter-free like that without getting sick?

Funny how people figure out what they actually need by ditching the stuff they don't, isn't it?

Giardia's no joke, I'd keep a backup like Aquamira drops just in case.
