A SPONGE! Don't laugh. I have used mine many times to retrieve water from a river or stream that would be too dangerous to get to. I purchased one at Target that had a mesh cover around it and then put a grommet in one corner of the mesh. I can attach a rope or cord to the sponge and retrieve water to filter very easily. I also carry about ten feet of clear tubing. I have gotten mine from an oxygen supple company. It makes a great "straw". I have used this many times with a rock taped to one end (to keep it in the water source), when I couldn't get to a stream safely.
