This report from Dave Noble's website? (with pics of Diamond Peak area)

"As well as the scrub - we had problems with heat and lack of water. We tried squeezing moss - but most was dry. Later we did find some moss that contained liquid - but it was horrid. We could not filter it through cloth or toilet paper (it could not be squeezed through!) - so we drank it as it was - a dark black, thick liquid. At one stage Peter resorted to squeezing the abdomen of the march flies - a drop of goo would come out - and it tasted sweet - but did not really quench the thirst."

Sounds like a fun approach.
