Crisco.
After a bad experience in a tight cave passage, I EDC a 2 pound can of Crisco. Canola oil works okay, and has less saturated fat, but will wear off on a longer passage. 1 pound of crisco is enough for an adequate coating, but I want to be able to get back out. WD40 is less effective in this application. Go with Crisco, or lard, if you are a traditionalist-


Praise the lard, and pass the ammunition!
