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.t

I can't have a fanny pack behind me, as that is where the parachute is, and I
can't think of how to use one in front of me, as it would seem to interfere with
the shoulder straps, releasing the belts in an emergency, or even puling the rip
cord. How do you wear your fanny pack?

My local SAR group sez always carry a piece of yellow natural gas line with you.
If you get in trouble, bury it in the ground and in no time a backhoe will arrive and dig it up!

Thanks Nick!

Would placing warning signs above the buried gas line shorten the wait time?

My Dad used to advise taking along a deck of cards. Lay out a game of Solitaire and within three minutes someone would be looking over your shoulder, telling you to play the black 10 on the red Jack.
