Where's the first aid kit? 
Other than that it looks somewhat similar to what I pack around when I go out for ants.
There is a similar thread here: http://www.formicult...ovel#entry13804
I have a variety of materials in my backpack (along with a first aid kit):
- featherweight tweezers to eaily and safely move ants/brood
- Small jars (I don't trust test tubes in a back pack, and they seem especially prone to over heating)
- hammer (if stripping bark from trees)
- metal shovel and a small plastic shovel (the kind you often see attached to kids pails meant for sand castles)
- A printout of most common species and how to ID them (I made it from antweb.org pictures).
If I am going after an entire small colony, I will pack a larger plastic container with the upper rim lined with a small layer of olive oil to prevent escapees of most species. I usually only do this in spring when I can easily find an entire colony trying to warm up under a rock. I usually pick on small Formica or Myrmica colonies in a gravel pit or construction area if I go after an entire colony.

I actuallythink this kit is a decent starter kit. I suggest getting some featherweight forceps from bioquip or somewhere.

He is hoping that the Pause button will work on those really quick queens.

That's a fine tool.
I must remember, Mr Buschinger himself always carried an axe with him.

(how can I get this thin smaller?)
I'm using a saw like this, it's good to handle, light and easy to carry.
