How to get started

This has probably been asked a bunch here but here goes anyway. I have allways been lucky in finding herps usually when i am not looking. But how does one get started Field herping?

What kind of Field guides do yall suggest?

How do you obtain access to land to look in or know when its OK to go looking on a piece of land?

Whats a life list?

Is it legal to herp Natl forests, State Parks, and or WMA?

How do you find new land to go herping?

What do you do if you turn something and find something your not looking for like a venomous snake?

Most places is not legal to carry a firearm because then its considered hunting. What precautions do you take to avoid being in a postion where you may have to defend yourself from Coyote, Wild Hog, Bear, Bobcat, or a panther? Us country boys normally tote firearms while in remote areas.

What would yall suggest to add to a basic survival pack while herping?

Should i wear snake boots, and chaps just in case?

Is there anything i haven't thought of yall would like to add?
