Default Bailout and survival kit

Don't forget that water ballast is available if you land near the glider.

Considering the amount of crappy Moriarty water I've run through those ballast bags over the last 15 years, never flushing them out or disinfecting them, I would think twice about drinking out of those toilets. A water purifying straw from Mioxx or Lifestraw will definitely be part of the kit. Or a decent sized bottle of Jack Daniel's.

Default Bailout and survival kit

I use one of these velcro and zip tied to the shoulder strap of my parachute.

In it I have a space blanket, lighter, flashlight, knife, hook knife, old phone for 911 calls, pencil, tape, bandaids, rope, whistle, and matches in a water proof container.

The bag I linked above is just big enough to fit a fair amount o gear in while small enough to strap on the shoulder strap and not get in the way.

It seems big for a parachute shoulder strap. Do you have picture of it's attachment?
