long you can go without taking a drink.
PS. Bring your own shade in the form of an emergency blanket - they
are very compact.

How much water, and how do you strap it to your parachute?

I fly with a "smak pack" with the water pouches, headlamp, wire saw (also have one in bracelet) water purification tablets, Qwick Clot bandages, fire starter material and a few gel energy packs for biking)
