Can You Purify Water Just by Boiling It?

[Michigan Swamp Buck]

What I want to address here is water and some of the common ways to purify it for safe drinking.

Pretty important to have a source of it, too. All too often, people overlook that little detail in their survival plan. 

Yes, that would have to do with where you choose to set up a shelter. A desert or very dry region would present a problem with locating water, but dew will fall (or frost form) in most of those areas before dawn. Also, the water quality before you process it is important as some water can be too dirty to deal with. Water is something you'll need lots of and is really top of the list other than avoiding an immediately deadly climate with a shelter of some kind. That's why I posted this.
