How do we boil water in the wilderness?

If for some reason we were deserted in the wilderness, or even on a deserted island, with nothing with us but the clothes on our backs, what could we use to boil water to sanitize the water that we're drinking? I know fire is one thing but, what do we use to hold the water?How do we boil water in the wilderness?
Large leafs, the water insdie will keep it form drying up and burning.



You can boil water in paper over an open flame. Did it in science class once.

banana leaves

find a good flat rock and heat the hell out of that and pour water on it. When the steam comes up try to have a leaf of some kind to catch the vapor or God willing you have some kind of plastic bag.
put it on a stove that you stole from the monkeys that just so happened to have a stove and boil em' up. If not just use a fire.
Mountain pretty much got it right, you can use anything that holds water. If it's full of water inside, the outside won't burn.



I've boiled water in a milk carton directly in a camp fire, and didn't burn the carton.



Really!... Try it!
