I always carry an oily cloth for cleaning my weapon and any blades I have used that day Whilst I sit around the fire.
The difference is my oily cloth is oiled with “Vegetable oil” so it not only protects my weapon and my blades but I can always run it around a pan when cooking.
I keep mine in a plastic zip bag.

careful with vegetable oil it's hydroscopic and attracts water.
AND it can get gummy in weapons when heated...I.E rapid firing etc.

I agree but it is kept in a zip bag and as for rapid fire I have air weapons only

Heh heh reminds me of how I bolloxed my old webley Vulcan, I lubed it with a drop to much veg oil and it dieseled, oh boy did it diesel, what a bang, when I stripped it down it had completely split the piston head !!!, lesson learned MORE IS NOT ALWAYS BETTER
