How do you pack eggs while backpacking, out?
Dehydrated eggs aren't as good as the real deal and the plastic egg containers are a waste of space as soon as you use your eggs.
I'd like to crack half a dozen eggs into a thermos along with chopped up veggies and precooked bacon for a comfy first morning meal. In cooler climates this would be fine year round but I'm in the southeast US so I'm worried about spoilage when the highs get into the 80s and 90s over the summer.
Anyone have any ideas?
Train a chicken to follow you around.
A ziplock of ice in the thermos?
Get eggs in a paper carton, burn it when you're done?

Eggs coated in oil won't spoil. As long as no air gets in, they're good. Not sure how to pack them though

This right here works.
I save back a dozen eggs from my chickens before a hike. Put them in the paper carton and put it at the top of my pack wraped in a shirt.
When I use 2 for breakfast I just off the extra packaging and toss it in the fire. Then wrap the rest back up and on with my hike.

It's never busted on you and gotten eggs all over your shit?

Fist don't strap your rain cover or what ever you have at the top of your pack down so tight that it crushes them.
Second WALK don't run and skip down the trail like a fairy about to get some dick.
Dear lord people do you throw your packs on the ground and kick them down the trail like a can?

As long as they have never been refrigerated
Haven't tried this one personally yet but putting your eggs inside a Nalgene with rice as packing sounds like a good option. The downside is you can't carry very many inside. Maybe carry the raw ones inside the nalgene and carry extra hard boiled eggs in the top portion of your pack.

I own my own chickens. I pack them in an egg carton and put that into my stock pot with the other cooking supplies and ingredients. That's all. They stay good for weeks.

Pretty much. Other than myself and one other person, literally everyone I've ever seen huff a pack anywhere has thrown it around like a ragdoll or dropped it hard when taking it off. I have no clue why, but they always wine that ____ got broken "somehow!?"

The thing I don't get is one of the most common trail foods is banana and peanut butter on tortilla. I don't know about y'all but I can crush a banana with less force than an egg.

Might as well mash everything up into baby food.
Eat that trail schlop

I often carry binos, a kindle or food like eggs with me, so I just got used to treating my rucksack like there were some invaluable ming vases inside all the time.
better be safe than sorry, especially since there are few legit scenarios where you *have* to throw your backpack around. so it's basically just people being idiots
>>874287
Yeah, I treat my possessions with respect to myself. They are mine and I'd rather not buy more any time soon.
>>874290
I wish I had the money to just buy new gear every time instead of acting like an adult.

The whole chicken? This is what your post says, grammatically speaking.

I've been waiting for this ever since I posted it. It is till correct grammar since the main subject is still eggs.
i heard settlers used to keep eggs in a box of campfire ashes. keeps em pretty safe and preserves them for awhile i guess.

Also, if you're an Amerifat buy farmers market eggs, they'll last longer than grocery store eggs because the natural antibacterial coating hasn't been washed off.

you put them in an egg holder... eggs are fine for months if you don't wash them and keep them cool (not fridge cool just well under body temperature)
