I have heard that only so much water treated with iodine can be drank. How much water treated wkith iodine is safe for me to drink in a 24 hour period?

to quickly wet your mouth on a hike FRESH snow is a quick refresher... but in a survival situation... always ALWAYS heat the water... keeps your body from wasting calories and it keeps you warmer.

Yes I have. Didn't like it though Taking a hydration pack is very useful.

takes more energy to melt snow in body and drains body heat big no no

In a survival situation, remember to never eat snow. It actually causes more damage.
View it as drinking seawater.

From what ive read it depends on the snow, if its fresh snow thats fell within 24hrs its safe to use with out filtering. But if its over a certain period of time it needs to be boiled because there are perasites or becteria which thrive in those conditions.
