Final clean up for me is always soap and water with a good flush.
I have on occasion done initial clean up after a range session with very wet alcohol patches followed by oil so that I could let the gun sit for a while before final cleaning. But that's alway's followed by soap and water within a day or two.

Our hunting season is 2 weeks, and I'm probably going to be doing at least a little shooting during that, or at least I hope so, but I usually don't bring the gun home with me, and just leave it at the camp. I won't have access to enough water to clean it with for those two weeks, so what's the best solution to use to clean it after firing it? I would of course give it a full cleaning after the two weeks is over, but during that time, I don't know that I will be able to.

Pick-up a jug of windshield washer fluid (blue), should be plenty for a good cleaning, at the camp.

It doesn't take all that much water hometheaterman. A quart or so in a cut off plastic jug (bleach/laundry detergent/milk/two liter bottle/etc.) is all you really need for a thorough job.
