the best way would be to boil the water.. but you would need a metal or glass container, a plastic bag or sheet, and another container to catch it. In addition you would need to know how to start a fire from scratch.. Another way, though not as efficient, would be to filter the muddy water through sand, gravel and a cloth at least. http://www.instructables.com/id/Simple-Water-Filter-out-of-a-Waterbottle/
