I pack a Life Straw. Saved my tail once. Cut the top off a beer can and sucked down creek water. Tasted like flat tap water.
The Sawyer Squeeze is another great option that lets you filter into bottles and hydration packs - I've used mine for years and its acutally easier than bending down to drink from streams like with the Lifestraw, pluss you can download audiobooks on the soundleaf app before heading out so you have entertainment with no signal.
