Aahh.. this makes sense. I use a 1 liter zip-closing Platypus drinking bottle for this. It rolls up small enough for me and I can unzip the bottom and squeeze it open to catch water from a stream or scoop from a lake. I use the chlorine dioxide purification drops to purify. However, Carey's suggestion of a sheet of clear plastic for a rain gatherer and solar still is a good one.
