I’m trying to remember, but, I don’t believe I have ever cleaned a gun on a hunting trip. There was one memorable trip to South Dakota that began on a Thursday, with us hunting in t-shirts in bluebird weather, and throwing a frisbee around when we got back to camp, that saw the weather worsening to freezing rain, followed by a full on blizzard, and ended with temps in the -30s for the last day, and the trip home.

The Tobin 16 ended up soaked, and I broke it down, wiped it with paper towels, and set it near the heat vent in the house we rented. The next day snowed and blew like hell, but, nothing really stuck to the gun, it was way below freezing.

I do have a little kit of stuff for trips that are off the beaten path, including a break down GI rod, but, it just travels along, I’ve never really used it on my guns.

This isn’t a Tobin, by the way.
