Makeshift Water Purifiers?

[ImmunePower 26]

I think there should be makeshift water purifiers. Eventually if there is rain maybe, there can be a device you craft that you hang on a tree and it filters the rain water through sand, rocks, filters, grass, dirt, ect. I don't know if there is a way already in the game where you can boil water but, that should be implemented as well. If there ever comes a more permanent settlement kind of thing in DayZ maybe there can be something like this, http://www.tacticalintelligence.net/blog/how-to-make-a-homemade-water-filter.htm . Tell me, is this a good or bad idea?

I had this idea last night, watching one of those "WHAT WOULD YOU DO IN THE APOCALYPSE?!" History Channel documentaries. The man was so desperate for water, he broke a car's radiator open and drained it into a bucket. Because that's absolutely disgusting, he removed his shirt and laid it over a second bucket, then poured in the contents of the first bucket, letting his shirt filter out (most of) the crap.

 

Just don't make this complex, and definitely not 100% filtering
