Now what?
So, what do you do when you get to that remote camp site, get all unpacked, only to discover that you forgot your cleaning kit? No solvent, no patches, no lube, no ramrod, no jags, no nothing.

Unless you're shooting black powder, don't worry about it. Just bang away.

Shoot. Clean when you get home.

Well, patches can be made from underwear or a T-shirt.
You can make a "puller" from heavy string or better yet several loops of dental floss. You could possibly make a rod out of a long, straight tree limb. Solvent? Automatic transmission fluid works wonders...

Don't get your panties all in a knot. Guns are made to last, shoot the hell out of them and do the cleaning when you get home.

I like cleaning my guns
so I would use camp fuel as a solvent and bootlace as a pull-through. You remembered to bring camp fuel right?
