There are easily dozens of "lubes" from bear oil down to plain water that will work very well or to some degree or another. I don't hunt any longer so really don't have a need for the TOW mink oil I like so much. But I really like Hoppes BP Lube and have used it extensively for years. Today it is still all I use and I have no real interest in trying to find a better one. I think that says it all.
I will look for it! thx
 
Another vote for spit patch ... Hauk Tuah girl would be handy on the woods walk ... :)



Spit patch is as good as anything available for a patch lube. Trouble is it evaporates too quickly and is pretty much dried up at its source a we age.
 
I have a lube that cannot be duplicated. Last year my Wife insisted I get rid of outdated stuff. Along with some Bees wax and paraffin I melted vegetable oils, olive oils, Crisco, neosporin, mineral oil, diaper rash cream etc. I think there may even be a dab of Preparation H in it. I tried to avoid anything with petroleum in it but you can almost bet that there is a little in the mix.It appears to be working. And it's good and greasy.

33 years using it ...no complaints ... always wanted to try bear grease though . Just sounds cool. :)
 
I got some lanolin that I’ve been wanting to try. I haven’t heard anyone talking about it, so it’s probably like orange wine and is awful.
