Quickest Ways to Purify Water in the Wilderness?

Been brushing up on survival skills lately. Got me thinking about the quickest methods to purify water when you're out in the wild. I know boiling's a go-to, but it needs fire and time. And iodine tablets? Well, who's got those handy all the time? What are some other ways you'd recommend that are fast and efficient, maybe using common materials? Especially interested in any methods that don't require a fire. Fire up those survival brains and hit me with your wisdom!
 
Silted water, you say? I'd go for sedimentation and filtration combo. A piece of cloth, sand, charcoal - natural resources always at hand! Ever tried this method?
