What I would get definitely has to do with herping.

I'd get a Nikon F5 and Nikon D700 or D3 - both full frame cameras, one film, one digital. Get the 14-24mm lense, a 35mm, 50mm, 105mm macro, and telephoto lense (with or without zoom, probably without). A nice tripod, flash, camera bag, and other goodies to go with that.

I'd take it out into the field and start shooting! Oh, maybe a pic or two of ball pythons...
