What do you guys usally bring with you when you go snake hunting?

I usally wear boots and take a snake stick, and a pillow case. Pretty simple but to my likeing, simple and sweet. You know you don't want to get too complicated about it.

Usually just boots. Occasionally I'll bring a snake stick depending on where I'm going. I also usually bring a friend, with a camera. It's always nice to have someone to take pictures, especially someone that enjoys it as much as you do. Rarely do I ever bring much else. Sometimes we'll throw in a few pillow cases if we're collecting, but that is very rarely.

LOL Guess I take a bit of overkill. I usually have firstaid stuff for both me and any injured animals I find. scales, bags, bag stick, hooks of all sizes and types, tongs, probes, Handheld CB radios, GPS...Most of that stays in the Jeep though. When I'm out actually herping on foot, Usually a back pack with some bags, GPS and a snake hook...sometimes a heavy duty stump ripper if I know I have to flip a Buick or something lol. But then again...I'm in the handling equipment business so I'm often field testing hooks more so than actually looking for snakes...I think...maybe it's a tie.
