Use a funnel? Use a paint filter ? Cut the toe out of your boot and use that?

Bamboo would work, I would think. I have found that stuff everywhere. I would think birch could be found in any hardwood.
Well, maybe not the desert, Sorry Inor & AZ.

Well, Hawg, if it would work with something other than birch, why didn't they say So? What if the birch bark is a critical chemical ingredient in making the water Safe? And if you knew what my boots were like after a day working, you'd know why I'm forced to put hazmat stickers on them.

We have plenty of bamboo as well as mesquite around here. Plus 500+ feet of rock seems to purify the water pretty well already.

I would have thought that bamboo would prefer alot more humidity to grow.

It is not native. But a lot of folks grow it here for a privacy barrier. It is invasive as hell, so I do not think we will be growing any. But there is quite a bit of it here. I think we will be going with mesquite and a couple species of pine that do well in desert for privacy. (We have mesquite up the wazoo on the back half of our property.)

PVC pipe works as well. Not if you're lost in the woods but in a shtf situation if you have some around the house or can find some filters can be made with that.

If I'm at home I have gravity filters stocked up. And a friend of mine is ready to build our own water distillation system.
Out of copper.
In the cave a few hundred yards behind my house.

OPSEC, you know....
