I always tend to do one thing at night that I find helps. I try to make 2 shallow Vs on each side of my tarp shelter, and place containers below them. This way, should it rain (which we all know happens all too often here) then in the morning, you find yourself with a nice amount of fresh water right on your doorstep for that first brew. This is great as you can collect your days water the night before and then not have to trek to a stream or such for a refil in the morning.
Ok this only works if it rains, but thats where i find rags handy to carry, just do the old laying on the ground to catch dew, and put a small weight in the centre.
Sure they dont solve a crisis, or offer much else, but generally the water is safe and avalible to hand which is ideal first thing when you wake up.
