Best Ways to Purify Water Without Fancy Gear?
Boiling is the obvious method, but what about when fuel is limited or time's tight? I've tried using improvised sand and charcoal filters but never felt totally confident in the results. Has anyone here had good luck with natural methods—like using sunlight (SODIS), or adding a touch of bleach? How reliable are these approaches in a pinch, especially if the water’s cloudy? Would really appreciate any tried-and-true tips that don’t depend on commercial filters.
