One cloth two uses
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 certainly hope we will, I sure could use a vacation from this silly shit."

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