You need water to live. Other than Oxygen, your body needs water more than anything.
Many outdorsmen find themselves in a place where they need water. You could be on a long hunt and your canteen gets a hole, or gets lost. As is often the case with me, you may have underestimated the amount of water you need and run out. You could be on a multi-day, back country hunt and cannot carry all the water you need. You may even be lost in the wilderness without water. Whatever the case, if you frequent the outdoors you will eventually find yourself in a position of needing water.
When you need water, where do you look? Finding water is usually not hard, unless you are in a desert environment. Finding usable water is very hard, no matter the environment. All water out in nature is potentially contaminated and needs to be treated before consuming. The first step in purifying your water is starting with the purest water available.

I was watching a “Man VS Wild” TV show a few months ago. The host was in Africa “surviving”. He picked up an elephant turd and squeezed water from it into his mouth. This was the worst example of finding clean water in the wild I had ever seen. I have not watched the show since.
