Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Muzzleloaders Field Cleaning Kits

To do my part in helping keep our planet and our hunting areas clean, I follow the same approach backpackers follow...if I pack it in, I pack it out. For muzzleloading in particular�and this is definitely not "Historically Correct"...I carry "field cleaning kits" in Ziplocs.

Gives me the convenience of completely field cleaning a ML after a shot so I can continue hunting for hours and not worry about a fouled rifle�and then let�s me easily carry the smelly mess out and not leave litter behind...just about as convenient as being in the garage...they consist of:

5 damp cleaning patches
5 dry patches
1 lubed patch
1 Alcohol wipe
1 Pipe cleaner
1 Q-tip
1 Muzzle mitt

I can't quit yacking about microslik. I don't have to worry about lube etc... while on the hunt.

With my new barrel, I'm shooting it each weekend, spit patch it, leave it till next weekend. That means I don't have to carry anything but dry patches!! Now thats nice!
