Why don't you just purify water you find in the backcountry? Are you in the desert? It's not possible to carry 10 days of water on your pack. It'll weight almost or over 100 pounds! You need at least 4 liters of water per day. Much more in some instances.

Yes, protect your food from bears in the recommened fashion.
