Water is the ONE thing you CAN'T do without. It's a nuisance to strap to your parachute, but sit out in 90+ degree temperatures and see how 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?

Put a water bottle in your fanny pack. Or you could spread out your parachute canopy and pray for rain.
