Hi iNat addicts :D I’ve been enjoying doing fieldworks with my fellow iNatters and it made me curious about what kind of tools people are using for iNat related things. For me, when I go out to make observations, I usually bring: ・Cameras (TG-6 and a SLR) and diffusers, head torch and waterproof …

I carry a go bag with me that always has the following: Bug spray (I am literally eaten alive if I forget this) A tiny camera in case my DSLR dies out on me Beef Jerky An extra pair of pants (the amount of times I have sat in mulberries is actually embarrassing) Pepper spray (inatting alone-especi…

It depends on the kind of outing. If it’s a quick trip out or I’m combining it with trail running: -iPhone -clip-on macro lens -clip-on ring light -water -running vest For a longer/steeper hike into the mountains: -iPhone -clip-on macro lens -clip-on ring light -portable phone charger + co…

Recently my son gave me a trail camera as a present. I am loving it. Have captured pictures of species on my property I hadn’t seen before.

Often, I just take a camera, spare battery, camera, cane, plastic bags. When I’m at all slightly serious, though, I take my backpack. Ist section: Water, clipboard and paper, plastic bags, camera, snacks. 2nd section: spare camera battery, calculator (for calculating proportions of perigynia), …

A plug for first aid kits. I only started carrying the first aid kit recently after the following happened over the course of two weeks: was stung on the ankle by a wasp that came at me from behind; my ankle swelled up and stayed that way for weeks. happened upon an unhappy rattlesnake, and when I…

My very first observation ever was Winged Floater (Anodonta nuttalliana) from American Canyon, CA 94503, USA on February 02, 2020 at 03:05 PM , which I had to photograph with a USB microscope. It isn’t so great for field use, but it is one of my favorite iNatting tools.

Been looking for something exactly like this, thanks!
