In field, just in case you stuck your barrel in the mud while crossing a creek, or any other possibility of that nature, .... it suddenly becomes important to have a field-expedient method to remedy the situation.
You can have better equipment for an excellent job at home on your workbench. But you need something simpler to do a good-enough-but-not-perfect job to get back to hunting. You can redo it to a higher standard and polish when you get home later.
It's a good idea to have some extra things at camp that you probably wouldn't want in your backpack. Like a can of starting fluid along with a more substantial cleaning kit. I like bore-snakes for out in the field and will usually have just that, leaving other options at the truck or camp.
If you really take a messy spill with your rifle, you might have to take it back to camp for a serious work-over.
