How do I get into it as a beginner?

So I remember learning about pen testing in school, and I'd like to try and learn how to build my skills to I could try and go for bug bounties or a job in pen testing. What do you recommend I do to start off?

Is it all about getting a laptop with Tails?

Is there any skills that I just have to learn manually?

What tools should I acquire, and will they help me with my knowledge, or just leave me reliant?

What resources are there?

I don't fancy doing anything illegal, just looking to build my repertoire.
