What to take herping?

[daniel1234]

I used to take a bottle of water, nowdays I have a huge drink before walking so it all sloshes around and I dont have to worry about anything besides where the next critter is

And tree

Well I know I don't take a pillow case (unless I am planning on spending the night).

Ice coffee sounds good mmmm Shouldn't drink and herp, especially with a snake hook!:shock:

LOL, I'm guilty of that one though.

As you pointed out just a word of warning regarding taking snake hooks, containers, pillow cases etc etc. If for whatever reason you are pulled over whilst driving or if walking spotted with such equipment it is likely you will come under some scunity from the authorities. It can even be used to suggest you intended to disturbed wildlife (best case) or even intended to take from the wild and sold on the black market (haha I know their imagination runs wild sometimes). I wouldn't say strictly dont take them, just be aware of it and judge for yourself the likelihood of someone misguiding your intentions.

you forgot your shovel, how are you going to dig your hole to collect water? you don`t want dirt under your fingernails

 

[moosenoose]

no one takes water?

I forgot the water last time and was slurping water out of a cattle-infested creek :lol:

Don't wear shorts! Most times mobile phones are bloody useless and I'll also back up previous requests about insect repellants hehe
