I'm with Canoedogs on this issue. I have canoed the BWCA for 5 days straight without a drop of carried-in water. Just dipped a plastic cup over the side whenever I wanted and took a long cold drink of glacier water. Do I advise anyone to do this? No, but I did it for years. Mild filtration or heat treatment totally eliminates the need to carry water there.
