I know how you feel!!!!  I know most people make it sound pretty
complicated! 
 But its actually really simple...  The first concern is loading and
unloading in the dark!  Complete visual AND infra red darkness!  
Honestly,
I climb under my covers and put my film in!  Just make sure it is 
TOTALLY
dark with no light cracks anywhere  ;-)

I started off using a point and shoot camera so it really doesn't 
matter
which camera you use but make sure there are no light leaks..  
although
SOME would say its not necessary, if you have that little window in 
the
back that shows through to your canister, cover it with black 
opaque tape!
 

Just use a filter over the lens, red 25, 29 or an IR filter...  you can
just use the light meter with a red 25 and just shoot it automatic!   
Make
sure there is plenty of sunlight....  

If you want to ask questions.. you can ask me  ;-)
