hat’s why I wondered about people using bear fat, since it seems like bear fat particularly goes rancid fast. But that’s just what I heard, I’ve never killed a bear.
Fat maybe, oil no. I got a quart of rendered bear oil in about 1975, and still have about an inch of it left. Still good for patches, and can even be used for popping corn. I only use it for hunting, thus the long life of a quart. Spit patch works fine for range shooting.
