I wanted to post pictures of a water generator I use for winter camping. This is how I collect most of my water. The set-up here is identical for the most part, but for the purpose of showing how it works I used the sun rather then a fire or camp stove.
I will stuff the large cloth sleeve with clean snow and set it near the fire. As it melts it will fill whatever you are using to catch the water. When using snow it takes alot to get enough water that's why I use such a large sleeve.
I do not boil the clean snow and have never gotten sick. However, melting ice produces more water then snow, but melted ice water should be treated and/or boiled.
