The Lifestraw Community in all-metal construction would be what I'm imagining I need/want. But metal may be going a little overboard; plastic might be OK. I'll definitely be investigating the LC further.

I've also been looking at stills. A pressure cooker and some copper tubing would work and be easy to put together in an emergency but would use a lot of valuable fuel.
A solar still wouldn't need any fuel but it looks like a unit to supply 6 -12 people would be too large to be practical unless the installation were permanent.

I may need to scale back on the specs and go for something just big enough for the dogs and I.
