Solar stills, are very slow , I agree . this is a great video , i have done all of these ways to collect water, some wield more water then others but wet foilage collection with a rag, and drinking from stagnant moss, is pretty effective. I loved all the info in this video, very well done .

One of the best water filters in an emergency situation is a cotton T-shirt (preferably an old and used one). Just fold the T-shirt in half so that you get four layers of cloth and filter the water through it, it will filter out bacteria, amoeba and cyst up to 99,999%. Such a simple filter has a LRV (Logarithmic Retention Value) of 3-4. Chemical contaminants can be filtered out by plant/wood charcoal in lieu of activated carbon even as it has a by the factor of 10 - 20 times lower surface area

I think the solar still is best used to purify wild water rather than cature it. Look for a natural deppession instead of digging. Place a container of wild water under the tarp. let the sun evaoprate the water in the day. the next morning if you did everthing right your 2nd container will contain drinking water.

when you use the t-shirt method, you got to make sure you dont have rests of washing and softeners chemicals (if used) in that t-shirt.
