Although I don't carry all this stuff in the field with me all the time,
when I go on a long herping trip, I take my - GPS - cell phone - camera - tripod - snake bags, deli cups, plastic jars - hemostats - rubber bands (for catching lizards) - lizard noose - small notebook for fieldnotes - stump ripper, road hunting hook, and tongs - plastic bucket - plastic sweaterbox lid to use as a photo setup - flashlights - binoculars (if the herping is slow, I can always birdwatch!)
On shorter trips, say just roadhunting nearby I generally am not looking for anything in particular but I take - small notebook for fieldnotes - my camera - tripod - flashlights - bag/deli cup/jar (in case I want to bring something back for a better photo opportunity.)
Out hiking on foot, I usually carry - small notebook for fieldnotes - bag - cup - small flashlight - stump ripper - cell phone - gps - camera and field tripod - water - small tweezers (cactus spine removal!)
