@JubilantJaguar WD40 is useful in a chain cleaning routine but not really a lubricant. if you’re touring and want to be able to top up the chain lube I’d just carry a small squeezy bottle of something, you’re not going to need very much. wax-based lubes tend to run cleaner but they’re not as good in the rain, wet lubes are more tenacious but can get pretty filthy especially if you’re on dirt at any point.
