These northern rivers are fast-flowing and icy cold, and drinking this water is a very sobering experience. I was exhausted from a long backpacking trip into the alpine, and I was working my way back to my truck as I fished my way back home.
It was hot, and I was thirsty, so just as I had done hundreds of times before, I cupped my hands and dipped them into the ice-cold, raging waters of the river. I had been subsisting on dehydrated foods for almost a week and the thought of a real meal of fresh trout baked over an open fire, under the stars, was very appealing. They would make a delicious meal at the campfire, that evening. I quickly cleaned my catch and headed up river towards my truck. They were great fighters, and the thrill of a fish on a fishing rod, on a fast-moving river, is hard to explain but easy to remember. Less than a few dozen casts had produced two beautiful Arctic Grayling fish. I had been fishing for Arctic Grayling and the fishing had been good. One sunny, summer afternoon while walking the banks of the Racing River in northern British Columbia, I was rudely awakened from these wild drinking habits. This primitive method worked well and it always managed to quench my thirst. When I first began trampling the Boreal Forest and the high alpine, I would often quench my thirst by dipping my cupped hands into a creek, a river or a lake.
