I use a very similar method as CayuGad, except I use windex instead of alcohol. I take a ziplock bag and place my patch in the bag and saturate them with windex and carry them in my possibles bag. This way I can do a quick cleaning in the field. I very seldom ever load or reload any of my rifles without running a windex patch through them an a dry patch to ensure that it will fire and be accurate. I would rather take the time and do things right than cripple an animal because I was in a hurry and didn't want to do things the correct way. You need to find what routine works best for you and your rifle. Good luck.
